Since I am out of school for the summer, I have a little bit of time to catch up on some of the things I want to remember. Looking back, I realized that I didn't do a wedding or honeymoon blog. This one isn't really either, but has to do with the wedding so...here goes.
Danny and I had talked about getting married late last summer (but weren't officially engaged until October). My mom teaches up at Weber State and the first part of her semester is really busy, she has always told us not to get married during that time. And since we were both out of school, and her thinking that finding a dress would take awhile we went dress shopping before anything was official. I felt really awkward doing it, but mostly did it just to humor my mom.
We went to a little place out here in North Ogden and found 2 dresses that I loved. There was one that was really simple, nothing much to it and another that was a little more poofy and had a train. The simple one I really liked was on sale for $100, I have a couple of pair of pants that costs more than that. I decided I liked it and we bought it. It was crazy.
My cute mom took these pictures and always seemed to catch me with weird expressions on my face, therefore I cropped them.

Then as the wedding got closer and some things happened or didn't happen, and I realized that I was going to be walking down the isle, I started thinking about the poofy 2nd dress and decided that I would be happier in that and that was the one. This was now in November, the 2nd dress was also on clearance clear back in August, so I hoped that it was still there, but telling myself it was okay if it wasn't. I called and they said they still had it and it was still on sale...YIPPEE! I went there right after work and of course they wouldn't let you try on just one dress. I tried a couple on and again narrowed it down to 2...the one I really liked to begin with and another. But after much flip flopping back and forth...I bought the original 2nd dress. So yes...I own two wedding dresses. (But...the total of my two dresses was still less than a lot of people pay to even rent one.)
It was a good choice. It was the perfect dress.
Wow, you are the only girl I know that owns two wedding dresses! $100 is waaay cheap for one! I only rented mine and it cost more than that! It was the perfect dress, good choice.
ReplyDeleteI love that first one with the black sash!! I love the bottom of the second one though :) I got married at the courthouse. I did wear a gown though. It was given to me, a black and white bridesmaid gown my cousin's wife gave me. I still have it. Very pretty choice you made!
ReplyDeleteI loved your dress!!! I'm also digging the getup your mom had you wear!
