Wedding fun

Wedding dress shopping was fun. I’m really glad that I was able to do it with my mom, sisters, and maid of honor. Of course there are a few other friends who I would have loved to be there (and who I wish I could have in the wedding) but seeing as this is already a complicated event I decided not to overcomplicate things by involving people who live in more cities than necessary.

Anyway, back to wedding dress shopping. It took about three days for me to find my dress. Actually I tried it on the first day, but didn’t realize that it was the ”one” because the dress was really big on me. (The bridal shops only stock dresses in 8s and 10s, which is very annoying. It’s nearly impossible to be able to try on a 0 or 2 which means you won’t know exactly how the gown will fit until it comes 4 months later!) Anyway, dress shopping is really exhausting. First you choose several dresses that you would like to try on. The sales girl gets them for you and gives you an under slip to try on (which is very heavy and makes the dress poof out.) Next you stand in the dressing room wearing nothing but the under slip (and underpants of course) while the sales girl takes the dress out of the bag. She help you put it on, which takes a while. Then you go out and stand on the stage for a while. When you want to try on a new dress you have to wait for the salesgirl to put the old one bag in its bag before she will take out the new one. After going through this process with several dresses I was very exhausted!

One store I went to was at the mall. The store was great, but the location was terrible! The store had great big glass windows, and was on a corner where a lot of people walk by. I was basically on display for everyone to see. The little girls walked by and ooow and awwwed over me (which was kind of fun.) But then the high school boys walked by and made stupid comments…plus at one point I looked over my shoulder to see my fiancé peeking at me from behind a curtain!

That’s it for now.

Salut my belle! I'm glad things are coming along nicely - it sounds like you've made good progress for the big day and that's so exciting!
I'm still processing that my Stephy is getting married! The same Stephy that sat with me and her then-boyfriend-now-fiance in the middle of the Champs-Elysees in Paris and drank a 40 of Desperado each. Hahahaha what a silly night that was. Gros bisous!
