The joy of finding the perfect dress shop...priceless =)

Barely into my third post on this blog and I'm already slacking. HAHA.  I figured it wouldn't take too long for me to slack on my posts but that was a little quick...lol. oh well.

It is such a happy day for me--I found all my secret "Miguel Stay Out" pictures from dress shopping and such =) HEHE!!! Oh boy does it bring back wonderful memories!! And I also found the picture of Miguel and I right after he asked me to marry him..I teared up a little bit =)

Our first picture as HUSBAND and WIFE-to-be =) on 08-11-10

We moved all of the secret wedding pictures to walgreens.com because we had a screen saver on my mom's computer that cycled through all of our pictures on it and suddenly all of the SECRET wedding pictures were popping up for Miguel to see----NOT COOL!! So we put an end to that quickly. LOL.  Luckily he didn't see anything that he wasn't supposed to...or so he says ;)

I forgot to mention in my last post that during our trips to bridal shops we finally settled on a shop to order my dress.  It is in Peshtigo...the lady who will do the alterations on my dress is also the previous owner and she is SOOO wonderful!! She let me take as many pictures as I wanted, let me try on as many dresses as I wanted and we didn't feel rushed or pressured like all the other shops that give you an hour window to try on like 3 dresses and then they kick you out--it was awesome!  And my mom helped me into and out of the dresses instead of some commission-crazed consultant so it was awesome.  It was more personal than the other places =) After awhile mom and I were pro's at getting in and out of the dresses =)  It gave her a lot of great practice for the big day. hehe.  We also dug deep into the world of the bridal veils that day.  And oh my goodness!! ...There are so many ways to wear a veil these days and there are so many different kinds that it was over-whelming!!  I had tried on all sorts of different types and lengths of veils at the other shops but we ended up finding a GORGEOUS veil before we left that day.  December 8, 2010 I became the official owner of my very own wedding veil =D ...and it was on clearance--HELLS BELLS FOR SAVING MONEY!!!! haha. It is so pretty!! Thanks mom for getting it for me =)  I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I wish I could post a picture of it =( boo!! haha.

Til next time...much love!!
