I have been struggling with the purchase of my dress since the beginning, not knowing what to do, I found one I like then it is too expensive, so I look for something else and then I found another one that I really like only it is always the same price... or more. This draining me emotionally but I can't help it. I try not to talk too much about it because it sounds so superficial and I realise that in 5 years from now it won't matters at all but right now it is tough. I wish so hard that my mom would be there, she was the queen of shopping and she would have been a wonderful counsellor... that's it, I am getting all choked up...I have been praying asking for advise from her and this morning when I read Cheryl's newsletter, I feel like it is my mom that is talking to me... that's it I'm crying, but it is good because it is as if I was relieved of that the worry I have been trying to contain in the past few weeks that I have been looking for the dress. So I found a nice saying to comfort me and I believe that " Something far greater than I imagine is on the way for me".

I did it to myself

I went shopping for dresses this weekend and as if I had not enough difficulty to make up my mind, I had to complicate the whole thing:
Ann, Erin and Sarah came with me to the shop in Smiths Falls to look at the dress I saw in Montreal(Sincerity bridal #3022) and others. Results:They really like this one and the store will try to order another one (#3068) that I wanted to try in a size that would fit a little better than half my size... The store is giving a good deal on the dress(3022) a lot better than Montreal so I was pretty happy
So here the mistake, it was still early so I propose to go to another store to see if they would have a similar model to the 3068 so they can give me their opinion... So we went and I found another one that I like to complicate the story. It is in raw silk, just lovely, the color is gold, it looks great and fell great... My mind was pretty much set on the other one... why did I do that!?
The 3022 has so many good features: The detachable train, the boned corset means that I won't need to buy one to go under, in the corset there is a tread that is making flowers that I could use to make a shawl or a shrug and it is cheaper, the store made me a deal with no taxes and inexpensive altérations.
The other one(raw silk) would request a corset ($60-$80), it is more expensive... I did not ask too much though, I was there late.
I need to think about it. I am still thinking that I should have straps for comfort... I would just hate to have to pull on my dress all through the night. Especially that Mike wants to boogie for our first song, It would not look great to have a wardrobe malfunction, that would be my most embarrassing day of my life... and I am sure I don't want it to be on my wedding day.
Anyway, we went for a great dinner the 4 girls together, I had a good time and I think they did too.
