A true love affair- Me and My Dress

[Strawdermangrl]

Well ladies.....Here it is in all its glory!! I walked in to the boutique not knowing what to expect, I have heard so many horror stories!! It was WONDERFUL! The cutest little sales associate handed me a ribbon with 5 clips and told me to clip the dresses I want to try on and she will pull them in a fititng room. I wandered with my bridesmaid Jamie and picked my 5 dresses in about 15 mins. I tried my "fav" on the hanger on first- BLAH- not cute... Got kind of discouraged (after one dress!! I am such a dork! ) Then I tried this one on, it was amazing. Like a movie- the minute the zipper went up I saw myself walking down the aisle to my honey and celebrating with my friends and family. I knew, it is amazing everyone has always told me you just know- and you do!!! So with out further delay- My dress.....
