My dress...

Yesterday, my best friend, Erin, and I went in search of my wedding dress. We had called David's Bridal to set up and appointment, and they said there were none available but I could walk in. So, we decided what they heck, we can go and wait. We got there at 11:15 and were taken back within 10 minutes (we expected to have to wait forever). Kat, our sales associate, sent me to look at Tiara's and shoes to go with my dress (neither of which I bought), and then into my gown I went. It looked so pretty, sophisticated, elegant and gorgeous. Erin and I were still so impressed and knew this was the one. So, I went ahead and purchased it. We were out of there about an hour after we arrived. They sent me home with my dress, and I have to return to have the bustle loops put in and if there are any alterations that need to be done.

After our fun at David's Bridal, we went on to go get food. Decided we should do our usual and go to Claim Jumpers and get a barbeque chicken pizza and the appetizer house salad with ranch. Then decided we wanted cheesy garlic bread, but our waiter told us that the order of it is huge, so instead he brought us each a few pieces "on the house" which was cool.

Then off to wander the mall. Eventually left there and headed for our favorite clearance store of all time, Kohl's, where you don't buy unless it is at least 40% off original price, and you better like it a lot to pay that much for it :-). Erin and I each walked out of there with a few items. I found a purple sleeveless turleneck to wear with my black suit, and I also found a periwinkle blue long sleeve collared shirt to wear with my suit. Both of which will look very nice with other clothes also. I also found a pair of Nine & Company boots. They are very classy and were only $20. Next winter I will have a new pair of boots to wear. Erin and I had a blast and enjoyed the chance to get out and just have fun together!

You wish you could see my dress now, but you have to wait another 139 more days. Then you will get to see it.

You are so funny :-) I think they can imagine what the dress looks like, or they can simply wait till I post post-wedding pictures up on the blog.
