    Hi all!  So my wedding is a year away and I'm home visiting family.  My sister-in-law, cousin, nieces and I decided to go "look" at dresses and see what kinds of styles I liked.  Well, three shops later, "looking" turned into "buying".  It was a bit of an emotional experience.  The dress I loved wasn't my family's favorite.  In fact, they all preferred a dress that was also beautiful, but not quite "me".  I was torn.  Do I go for the dress that they all love and say is a beautiful dress, or do I pick the dress that makes me feel beautiful?  My sister, though she loved the other dress, reminded me that it was my choice, that I was beautiful in whatever dress I wore, and that she couldn't deny the look on my face when I had my dress on.

    So, here it is.  What do you think bees?  Did I make a good choice?  The dress wasn't what I imagined I'd picked, but I love it.. it makes me smile.

    WOW that dress makes you glow! If you love it, then congratulations. Having a beautiful dress and knowing it must be such a feeling of relief! I wish I were in your shoes (ha another source of stress...but I digress).

    Now onward to the rest of the list!

    I love it,!  but maybe I'm biased b/c I wore an all lace drace :o)  It really flatters your hourglass figure.

    Thank you everybody for your positive words!  Eeeekkkkk!!  I have my dress!  Solidifying the venue was a wow moment.. but somehow, having my dress now, makes this whole wedding thing come to life - it's really happening!
