Wedding Shopping!

Mike and I took a trip to Macy's to find him a stunning suit for a very special occasion... our wedding!  Our trip was a success!  Found the perfect suit.  It helps that he looks good in anything.
Finding a wedding dress for me was not quite as successful...

I looked all over online for the perfect Beach Wedding dress.  Unfortunately, they were all a lot of money, which we didn't exactly have.  I did find a cute website through Pinterest that had some I thought would do the trick.  The part that made me excited were the price tags.  The dress I wanted cost only $130!!  The downside was that they took a minimum of 6 weeks to ship because they were coming from China.  When the dress FINALLY arrived, I tried it on and was completely disappointed because it did not fit right at all.  I did not look like the gorgeous bride in the website photo.  I realize I am not her, but the dress just did not flatter me :(  That meant I had less than a month to find an acceptable wedding dress.

The strap about cut off all circulation in my neck and my head barely fit through the tiny hole.  The empire waist came down WAY too far.  A bride's worst nightmare:  finding a last minute dress...

I pictured the dress looking more like this pic

I searched for the contact info for the Chinese lady up in Logan who I bought my first wedding dress for... I remembered she was amazing, and I don't know why I didn't start with her in the first place.  Lesson learned.  Turns out she bought a shop on Center Street in Logan called Belle's Bridal, and offered to work some seamstress magic on my dress or even find me a new one for a discounted price, if I liked another better.  After trying on several dresses I found a winner.  It was the One.  Big sigh of relief!  And the price tag was incredible as well, not much more than it would've cost to taylor the existing dress.

 Don't worry, I will post TONS of pics of the winning dress when I post my wedding day pics :) :) :)
