    thought you girls could use a bit of humor in the midst of all the stress of wedding planning! I wrote this about a week before I found my dress :)

     

     

    Ode to Wedding Dress

     

    O thee wedding dress

    I’ve searched high and low

    Went to many a store

    And put on quite a show

     

    Fell in love once or twice

    For a dress that was out of my price

    Left the store is dismay

    Wishing it was not this way.

     

    Now recovered, on the search again

    Hoping to find you soon

    A dress of lace or taffeta,

    A dress that will make me swoon.

     

    Organza and ribbons,

    Sequins and tulle

    How do I pick one?

    They all make me drool!

     

    One  thousand, two thousand, four and eight

    Way out of budget! And it’s getting late

    Where is it hiding, where must I seek?

    To find this dream dress, something so chic

     

    A wedding of vintage, rustic or whim

    A dress to match it, might cost a limb

    Cause each I try on, I’m discouraged more

    That it won’t happen, it’s all folk-lore.

     

    Melissa sweet, and St. Pucchi,

    Hjelm and Angelo

    How will I chose-

    Between Roth and Lazaro,

     

    We’ll begin the search again.

    Try on a hundred dresses or more

    We’ll gallantly travel

    From store to store

    haha thank you so much, it was fun to write it!

    (oh, I am sept2610, just changed my username awhile back)

    I ended up with an Allure dress.

     

    Here are some of my photographers pictures from our day - with my dress :)

    I have it bustled in the back, but when the train is let down it's about 5-6 feet long, with scalloped edges like in the front. Beautiful gown really - and I felt so skinny lol. 

    The only downfall of the dress was how heavy and hot it was, because it was 90 degrees the day of my wedding :) but it didn't rain and for that I'm grateful!
