Dress Shopping & My First Fitting

The Tuesday after Sebastian & I got engaged, my mom & I headed out to search for a wedding dress. We went to David's Bridal where I tried on a handful of pretty dresses, but none of them were what either of us were looking for. It was fun to have the first dress shopping experience with my mom. We both cried when I came out in the first one, not because we loved the dress, but because the time had come for me to actually be in a wedding dress.

A few weeks later, I had an appointment scheduled at Maya Couture to do more dress shopping. This time, I brought my mom, Sebastian's mom, my Grama, both of my sisters, Stacey & Lydia, & my best friend, Katie. We had free reign of the store to pull whatever dresses I wanted to try on, & everyone went to different racks choosing their favorites. 

I loved getting to share that time with the ladies closest to me. When you bring six people with you to pick out a wedding dress, you'd think there would be some strong opinions & one or two of them hating the dress you love. I mean, atleast that's how it goes on Say Yes to the Dress. ;) But this group was perfect! 

I can't say much about the dress, but when I tried it on, everyone knew it was the one. I just want to tell you all about it! People cried & Stacey prayed & my mom went right up to get it ordered. 

When they called to tell us the estimated ship date of something like September 17th, we panicked a little & ended up picking out a back-up dress off of the rack just incase something happened & the dress didn't get here in time. Talk about stressful! ;)

Since the Lord is GOOD, my dress came in August 28th - way sooner than expected! I had my first fitting yesterday & I love it even more than I remember. 

My mom & I went Wednesday & I can't wait to go back on the 23rd to bring that pretty dress home with me! Only three weeks, y'all!
