    That's right ladies! I went shopping on Friday with my large group of family, and I found the one.

    I had gone before to narrow down the dresses, and I ended up settling on these three choices:

     

    Pick 1 - Ella Bridal # 5410

    Note - the one i tried on does not have straps.

     

    Pick 2 - Anjolique 2119

    Pick 3 - Essence of Australia D1032

    All of them were great, and I loved them all for seperate reasons, however, there was a specific dress that I had in my mind.

    So I tried on #2, and it was okay. They liked it, but it wasn't it. So then I tried on #3, because #1 still wasn't showing up (they had misplaced it I guess, so they had to relocate it).

    Well let's be honest. It was it. That was the dress I had been excited to come back for, and that was the dress that made me cry, and that was the dress that made my mom cry.

    And then, for the heck of it, they're all like, "Oh well try on the last dress just because you can". So I did.

    AND THEY LIKED IT BETTER!

    Whhhhhaaaaaat?

    Apparently it made me skinnier, and was more elegant, but I didn't like it.

    Lots of debating on their end (I never considered the other one, but they had to justify it I guess?), but I said that I was paying for it, and I wanted the first one.

    YAY!

    So here I am, in all my glory. The Essence of Australia is it.

    Oh yay! That is totally the dress I voted for. But I could be biased because it's very similar to mine. :)

    In 20 years, you'll look back on your wedding day...and that dress will still look gorgeous.  Not dated, not too embellished or fad-specific.  It is stunning!

    Aww thanks guys! It's really nice to hear so many good comments, because my family really did want the other dress.

    I love it, and I already can't wait for that call when they tell me it's arrived.

    @kaykling: I love it! You have to post professional wedding pictures as soon as you get them back so we can see how great the dress photographs okay? You're the bride that's getting married first, so it's only fair haha.
