Wedding Dress Shopping

I never thought that wedding dress shopping could be so much fun. I'm not a shopper, thus shopping for a wedding dress was never in my dreams! This past weekend though, my attitude towards shopping has changed, or at least towards wedding dress shopping. My maid-of-honor (luckily for me I chose the right one) had scheduled an appointment for us to come in to try on wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses. Well, we started with the wedding dresses. I went straight to the "sale" rack and picked a couple dresses. It turned out they all fit, but the length was not the right one. So we moved to the regular priced dresses (yikes!). I had informed the lady at the store that my budget for the dress was no more than $500 to which she informed me that if I wanted to find the perfect dress, I would have to go over my budget. Of course that is something I expected her to say because after all she is most likely on comission. Wait, that is not the fun part, the fun part was putting on those really pretty (heavy) dresses and having my friends take pictures of me. Yes, I was the center of attention, and surprisigly I did not mind it! When I first walked in to the store I was a little shy and even nervous, but as we went on trying on dresses, those feelings were replaced by a feeling of pleasure and excitement. When I look at those pictures I can imagine myself walking down the isle to my groom, and that is the perfect thought!!!!
