    I am SO excited I had to share. FI and I went in secret today so I could try on some wedding dresses, we knew everyone would be like "the GROOM going with you?! BAH NO! WHAT ABOUT TRADITION?!" so we went in secret. Mom knows I'm probably going to order my dress on the internet, but I felt like I should try them on first, she wasn't interested in going with, and FI was. :-)

    But I found the most beautiful dress, and I just had to share. It's not at all what I thought I was going for, but I just adore it.  It's way out of my price range, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those things that I'm just going to suck it up and buy it because it looked SO PERFECT on me.  I haven't gotten any pictures of myself in it yet, but I think I'm going to go back and try it on again with a friend and will hopefully get a picture then!  If not, I'll have to wait until it gets here. :-(

    I tried on a couple of Maggies, and was actually shocked that I didn't love the way they looked on me, I was certain that I would be a Maggie bride --- but then I started looking at the Paloma dresses and they were all SO GORGEOUS, this is the one I ended up loving, the only thing I want to change is to have the pockets removed.  They made it "pouf" weirdly.

    The back isn't that "bustley" in RL, it looked more like large ribbons, the color is champagne, and I love it - even though I thought I was going to have to stick with "bright white."

    Thanks all!! I've gotta save up for a few months (fortunately, I have time), and I need to finish losing weight before I order it.  The lady at the bridal salon said that as long as you don't change sizes after you order it, that paloma dresses are "like magic, and always fit, usually without alterations", which is what I would love to see happen because I'm a LOT overbudget on the dress as it is.
