The Wedding Dress!

So yesterday, I hit the town with my sister to go have a look at wedding gowns.  I was only going to look and try on a few to see what suited me and then order something similar online because I really didn't think I had enough to time to get a dress custom made for me since the wedding is in 5 months!  The first store we went into was no good.  The woman in the store was no help whatsoever!  She just pointed to the gowns around the shop to where the various sizes were and that was it!  Needless to say we just walked out!

The second store was really busy so we just kept walking to another store.  The girls were really friendly, I was taken straight to some gowns she thought I might like and then let us browse and pick out any others I would like to try on.  The first few gowns I tried on were quite nice but nothing was really WOW!  While I was trying on another gown I saw another girl trying on a gown that was absolutely gorgeous!!  I wanted to try the dress she had on!  So after she had taken it off and had left the store, I was able to try it on!  I just knew it was THE ONE!  I was beaming ear to ear and right there and then I knew I was going to get this dress!  And it was within my budget AND it will be made to my size AND it will be ready for me for August for any alterations I will need.  I'm hoping I lose a bit of weight for then and can get a few inches taken in!  It will look even more stunning once I lose some lbs!

I'm not going to post the pic of THE ONE - but here's a couple of shots of a couple of the dresses I tried on - my sister had to take the photos secretly since it's a big NO NO! lol

 I kinda liked this one - but just didn't LOVE it.

I really didn't like this dress at all - as you can probably tell from my face - plus it didn't really flatter my figure as much as the one above!

So now the countdown is ON!  All we need to do now is book the actual wedding venue in Orlando - we have a few ideas but just need to settle on one!

Happy Saturday everyone!

I will hopefully do another post later about what I'm doing activity and weight loss wise!
