I am happy to say…yesterday ended the dress hunt! With my Big, my Little, and my parents by my side, I said yes to the dress! Praise the Lord! AND, it turned out to be the dress I tried on last week that made everyone cry but I was too flustered to see its real beauty too!
All last week I caught myself looking at the pictures we took of the dress I grew to love it even more. After I started envisioning myself in it I found a boutique that carried Mikaella (the designer) and made the drive to try it again. I still wanted to try other dresses though so we made a stack and saved the Mikaella one for last. As we were picking through the dresses I kept talking about the Mikaella one…my consultant, Phylis, pointed out to me that if I kept comparing others to it, that was a good sign. She was so helpful and kind…she gave me good guidance without being pushy. Much apperciated.
Per usual, the others were nice but not for me. I put the Mikaella on and everyone cried. Again. And to tell you the truth, I almost did too! I knew it was perfect for my vision of our wedding day. Although it was a “yes,” it was still hard to muster the courage to commit to it…but I am so glad I did!
There are just so many beautiful dresses out there and I don’t doubt that I could find more that I like enough to wear but you know what…I don’t want to spend more weekends hunting across state lines and feeling the nervous feeling that woke me up at 6am yesterday. I want to spend the few months that I have left being engaged enjoying it however I please and so I said yes to a dress that I like today. Once its fitted to my measurements I am positive I will love it and most importantly, I am sure that Ryan will too. I cannot wait to see his face when he sees me 🙂
