The wedding planning began and I was on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress! I knew in my mind I wanted a mermaid style dress, and like most girls, I created this image as a young girl. We all dream about the perfect wedding as a child and my dream was about to become a reality. Hunting for the dress was one of the first things I did to start the wedding planning and it was a special moment for me. I couldn't contain myself. :)
My mom came to visit and we thought it was the perfect occasion to go look for "the dress"! I was so excited to have my mom there to share in that moment. Ryan's mom, my three aunts and I were off to dress hunt! The first two stores didn't house that one dress, but we had a blast and enjoyed one of the most exciting moments together. I tried on some dresses that just weren't me, some were way over the top and strange, and others were beautiful but just didn't shout "the one". I started to get down, thinking that the ONE dress wasn't out there. It was a long day and us girls had to call it a wrap. Although we didn't find the dress, we did go over-indulge at BJ's restaurant. A pazooki was in order! :)
It wasn't until my mom visited for a second time that we found that one dress! We ventured to OKC to try out a bridal boutique we had heard so much about. I was excited and pondered if today would be the day I found that special dress. As I walked through the doors, this store looked more like me. We rummaged through the racks trying to find styles that fit me. To my surprise, I found many many dresses...too many to count. I stepped into the dressing room, which was over-filled with white. This would be a long day, there were at least 20 dresses packed in that fitting room.
The first dress I tried on was vintage, modern and extremely unique, exactly what I wanted. I put it on and I just knew. Heck, I knew when I saw her pull it from the rack. hehe. My face lit up when I put it on and I didn't want to take it off. Overly excited, I put that feeling aside and told myself I had to try on other dresses. Slowly the fitting room became less-filled and no dress (out of the 20) compared to that first dress I put on. I had found the one!
I called all of my friends and told them and immediately scheduled another appointment to have them see the dress and confirm that it was the ONE. hehe. It is so important to me that my bridesmaids were there for that special moment. You have to have your friends approve, those are just the rules of fashion and wedding dress picking. hehe.
That day came and my friends surrounded me, Ryan's sister Casey included. Ryan's mom came along as well. They sat in anticipation as I changed into this dress they had heard so much about. I came out and everyone just loved it! It was such a special moment. For confirmation, I tried one other dress on that I had liked just to show them the difference and they all agreed the one I had chosen was THE dress. There was no comparison. What a special day! I will remember that day forever :) Thank you to all my lovely friends. You are amazing!
I said YES to the DRESS!
