Since my last Wedding Wednesday post a very big check was made on our To Do list - I said YES to the dress! A couple of weeks ago my mom, little sister, and I went to look at wedding dresses in Old Town Alexandria. I left that appointment with a top pick in mind and thought for sure I would be going back.
On May 5th I had an appointment at J&B Bridal in Chambersburg, PA where my grandparents live. I was excited for the appointment because a lot of my favorite ladies were going to be there - mom, my older sister, grandma, aunt, cousin, and Aubrey! I went into the appointment thinking I would just get more ideas of styles and fabrics I liked but never thought I'd buy a dress from there since it is about 2 hours away from DC.
Much to my surprise I fell in love with the first dress I tried on. It was perfect and very different from the dress from the first appointment, but most importantly it made me feel like a bride. I tried on 5-6 other dresses before putting the first dress back on. As I turned to face my family in the dress, I looked at my mom and just like in a movie or TLC show, I started crying and said "this is my dress!" I don't normally make quick decisions when it comes to big purchases or even just ordering dinner, but I knew this was my wedding dress. Every time I look at a picture from the day (and thanks to Aubrey I have a lot!) I am 100% confident that I picked the right dress. I can't wait for my dress to come in and especially can't wait to wear it next April!
