This past weekend...

So theBride and I got together this past weekend to get some things checked off her list. We were pleasantly surprised to be accompanied by our wonderful cousin, Bianca.


We started the day off by going to a florist (family friend) to see if we could get the vision that theBride had for her day under her budget. The florist was sooo great with us and really gave us some good ideas to work with. She will get with us this week as to what the final cost will be, but we are confident that it will all work out. :)

Then we went with theBride to get the Jewelry for the bridesmaids. She wanted us to be with her so that we could give her our opinion on what would look good. She picked out some great stuff and we are excited to wear it!!

We ended up going to lunch at Cafe Express (YUM!) and then on a whim, went to David's Bridal so that I could try on the bm dress once and for all. I was really nervous as I am not one to go shopping let alone try on clothes! So we get there and there are atleast 8,255 other girls there trying on dresses.... ok maybe not that many, but it sure did feel like it! Anyway, we start the search for what I think my size will be only to find out that they can't find that dress in 'my size'. Onward... I see that there is one dress left, but it's two sizes smaller than what I normally wear (what they call street size). So I pick up the dress and take it to the dressing room. My heart is POUNDING in my ears and I am soo nervous and embarrassed that I will be trying on a dress that is two sizes too small that quite possibly won't zip up! So Bianca is walking behind me with her size 4 which is 50 sizes smaller than mine (ok, not 50, but it just could be!) So she puts hers on first and then I do mine and by this time, I can feel beads of sweat start to form on my brow as she slowly starts to zip up the dress. I get anxious as she says "wait...this fits you!" I am like, 'what?' I ask her if it's zipped all the way and she says YUP! I am on cloud nine!!!! OMG... I am seriously on cloud nine!!! I just put on a dress that is two sizes smaller than my 'street size' - while it my just be the cut of the dress that makes it so that I can wear a smaller size, I DON'T CARE! LOL...

So, with my head held high, I put the dress back on the rack and we head out to Hobby Lobby. What we were looking for there was a thick black ribbon so that theBride could tie it (sash like) on her dress. We found it in no time (at half price) and got a few other things as well.

All in all, a very productive wedding planning/accomplishment day!

Stay Tuned!
