I am not sure how to emphasize the importance of "THE" Dress to you. I don't care if the food stinks, or if it rains on the big day, but I truely care about the dress. Not that I have to look perfect or even take your breath away, but I want to feel like the dress defines the day of the wedding and how I will be feeling on the inside, amazingly happy.
Sometimes I will turn on "Say Yes to the Dress" and I am horified by the way women expect the day to be the best day of their life. It is simply the day that marks the beginning of the rest of mine. I am not going to lie and say I am not excited about the wedding day, because I am. I am excited to look pretty and have my picture taken and to have everyone that I love in one place watching me as I commit my life to my one and only. In case you didn't know Jason is my one and only. To be honest I am MORE excited about what happens in the days, months, years after we say I DO.
We will watch eachother succeed and fail and be there to hold each others hands through it all. I am so excited to be a family, to watch eachother grow up and grow old. (I am not sure either of us will ever be grown up.) I am excited to go through all of the bad times and all of the good times, because I will be one to admit that I am not perfect and I will have my bad moments, but also know that Jason will be the source of many wonderful moments.
I am so excited to see Jason as I walk down the aisle. My Dad at my side and my Mom in tears, Jason will be the one that I am paying attention to. He will be the only one that I care if he thinks I am beautiful. Today was the day I got "THE" Dress. My Mom, bless her heart, did not know that she was recording videos instead of taking pictures the whole time. Below are "videos" of the dresses I did not get, it is hard to see me very much of the time but you will get the picture :) . You will have to come to the wedding if you want to see the dress I chose. All I can say is I LOVE it!! I think Jason will too!
This is the 2nd dress that I tried on. I ended up purchasing the 1st. It is very brief picture at the beginning of the video. If I was getting married on the beach I would have purchased this qown.
This was the 3rd. Very heavy but very beautiful. If I was getting married inside a church and it wasn't so heavy this would have been the one.
The 4th and last dress was my Mom's favorite. It was a very close second for me. I was not very comfortable in it and didnt feel the way I do in mine!
I hope after the wedding I will post some pictures of the one that I bought and love! I guess now it is time to go get Jason in a tux!
Picking out the dress was one of my very favorite things about my wedding, everything else was stressful. But I could have tried on dresses for days haha. All three of these dresses are beautiful! I can't wait to see the one you chose!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see the one you chose!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to find "THE" one. Did you find it at the first shop you went to or did you go to several? There is just something special about finding "the" dress and feeling like the bride you always dreamed to be. The videos were fun to see. Thanks for sharing!
