Finding the dress….

I survived wedding dress shopping and discovered ballgown is NOT for me. I looked like a big creamy cupcake and the dress so so heavy I felt like I was carrying lead in the hem! I found a gorgeous dress of which I can’t describe because Jeff reads my blog. But it’s classy and simple and not at all what I pictured myself wearing (or Heather as she had to try it on for me since she’s smaller and we wanted a real idea of what it would look like instead of me stuffed in and and looking visibly stressed. But it was beautiful and so nice. But it’s way out of my price range. I just can’t fathom paying that much. But, at least I know I want this style and not all the poofy satin.

Remember that scene in Sex and the City when she was getting into the limo “It’s like stuffing a cream puff into a keyhole.“? Yes, I love that show and now all wedding will reference to it. I even asked the woman at the salon if she had a bird I could put in my hair like Carrie. I wasn’t serious, but I think she thought I was. I got an odd look. And the girl helping out, a high schooler, gave me a blank stare. Kids today!

Come on Sex and the City fans, you know that scene:

“I but a bird on my head for him!“

“That was a bird? I thought it was feathers.“

“No, it was a bird.“

“Oh… it was nice.“

“Thanks.“

Hee hee… Liann, help me out here.
