Here Comes the Bride

I bought my wedding dress.

Let me say that again.

I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS!

Last Saturday some of my family and I went wedding dress shopping. My mom and I had already "pre-shopped" on Valentine's Day to get an idea of what I liked and didn't like. I wanted to save everyone the hassle of traveling place to place if I didn't find "the one" on our first outing.

So back in February we went to Divine Design Formalwear in Trussville. They were very friendly and so helpful! I had a specific dress in mind, but it had since been discontinued. I tried on several dresses anyway and ended up absolutely falling in love with one. It was nothing like what I originally wanted, but it was absolutely perfect. I wanted my family to help me a make a final decision though, so I chose three dresses that I liked, the one I loved, and told the clerk that I would be back soon with everyone.

And, two months later, we purchased my wedding gown!
  

Surprisingly, no one cried.
Although I suspect there were a few tears shed behind closed doors.

While I can't share a picture of my wedding dress with you, I can share a picture of us from lunch after we purchased my gown.

I am so grateful I was able to share this special day with my mom, my aunt, both my grandmother's, my future mother in law, and my best friend (not pictured). These ladies have watched me grow and have supported me every step of the way.

I am so excited to have them alongside me on the day they play
