    OH MY GOD!!!! I'm so excited!!! I bought my Wedding DRESS!!! It's in my friends closet and all I wanna do is go over there and stare at it and then wear it ALL day!! haha!!!

    So, We are getting married at the court house and having a reception/party afterwards. And the killer is that we're doing it in January which means only 2months to plan!! I know we're crazy! So I was thinking of getting something shorter more of a party dress that I could dance in. So on Sun My Bff and I went to just look around-get ideas, prices ect.

    We went to House of Brides 1st and they looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I was getting married in Jan! And their 1st comment was "we probably don't have anything short in your size on the rack." Ugh!So I tried on some 14's too small and some 20's too big. I have a veeeeery loooow budget and when I asked if a pretty dress I was in which was tagged at $250.00 dress was on sale the Lady about died and was like "uh no that IS the sale price!" But if I'd gotten something there-because of all the alterations-it'd still end up being a 400 dollar dress! And I know that's NOT bad but like I said -loooow budget! So I tried on like 4 dresses and left.

    Then we stopped at David's Bridal about an hour till closing! I figured id have just enough time to register! But I went in and told them the sitch and they all seemed just excited as I did!! They didn't have anything shorter either (I was starting to think I'd just have to look at the mall or something!) I tried on a couple that were sooo gorgeous! But again the fit was off (not as much as at the other place but still). Then the sales lady found one completely different then any I'd been looking at and suggested I try it on just to figure out my size....It Fit PERFECTLY!!!!!!

    Oh my goodness!!!! The most beautiful dress ever! It's a very simple dress no beads no sequins or shiny stitching just perfect white, its longer but with a my heels and a bustle I can definitely dance in it! And I'm going to have a pretty pink sash!

    Now they told me not tell anyone this but I have to cuz I LOVE an awesome bargain! The dress is supposed to be a $350.00 dress!! The tag said it was $199.00 so I was gonna have to do some serious negotiating with the Hubby 2B! But as it turns out!!!! Get this girls! This perfect dress was on sale for $99.00!!! Oh my god! I bought it on the spot!! How perfect is that?? I never get so lucky!

    I felt like a princess wearing it!!!! : D

    Congrats on the dress! It's very pretty! I am doing the same thing next month I am going to City Hall in NYC. I also had a great experience finding the dress I wanted at David's Bridal. It's good to see other brides that are doing the City hall ceremony! :) Happy Wedding!

    My friend had the same exact dress for her wedding, except with a Tiffany blue sash. She looked beautiful in it, as will you.

    Congrats!!!!
