Said YES to the dress!!!

I'm gitty jsust writing about it.  I FOUND MY DRESS!!! it's gorgeous.  I was in London for the weekend visiting a friend for her birthday.  Since the guys weren't going to be in town till a couple hours after I did, I suggested we go dress shopping.  She loved the idea so off we went on friday afternoon.  Our first stop was Garbers Bridal Shop.  After aout 15 dresses and two and a half hours nothing had wowed me yet.  i liked bits and pieces of dresses but nothing stood out to me.  Erica was a huge help though and suggested we stop by again on saturday, and retry on my favourites from friday afternoon.  She also said she would try and pull some dresses that had the bits and pieces I liked in one dress.  Well Erica pulled through.  We went back on saturday and the first dress I tried on that she had pulled out took my breath away.  I would tell you all what it looked like but can't just in case Ross decides to read my blog.  I couldn't stop smiling.  I didn't even want to take it off.  It made the other dresses from the day before feel like a track suit.  We did try on a few more that she had pulled out but nothing compared to the first one. 

Now came the tough decision, am I ok with going over my budget to buy my dream dress.  I just couldn't imagine walking down the aisle in anythign else.  I just kept picturing Ross's face at the front of the church as I walked toward him.  OMG writing about it is making me cry.  The fact that my mom and sister weren't there to share in the experience definitely made it a hard decision.  I know they really wanted to be a part of it, but just couldn't imagine leaving the store without the dress and having someone else snatch it up.  So i did it.  I made the leap and bought my dress.  It was tough, and now I have to figure out what I am going to do with my visa bill when it comes in a month.  Having the dress just makes it seem so much more real.  I can't wait to show my family.  Till then, i will just stare at it hanging in my room.
