I was never the girl who dreamed about my wedding growing up. Don’t get me wrong, marriage has always been something I wanted, but it was never my main focus. Then I met my fiance and he changed everything. He breathes life into my life. And from there on out I went from the girl who didn’t think about marriage at all to the crazy girl who thought about marriage 24/7!
For the past 8 1/2 months we’ve been planning our wedding and it’s been the most happy, fun, and exciting time of my life thus far. Tonight I had my first wedding dress fitting and as soon as I put on my gown it all became so real. This is MY wedding dress! This is the dress I’ll be walking down the aisle in. This is the dress I’ll be saying “I do” in. This is the dress I’ll be wearing to mark one of the biggest and most amazing milestones in my life. I couldn’t be more thrilled and happy with the dress I chose. It’s unique, it’s gorgeous, and even a little bit sexy. I feel like everything about it is me. When trying on dresses I wasn’t into lace, poof, or anything that had a big heavy train. My dress has just enough bling to make me feel glamorous yet it’s still simple and lightweight. I simply love it!
Now the big question is, which shoes do I wear? I bought two pairs and I tried them both on with my dress and I absolutely LOVE them both! One pair is a burgundy/red color as my plan all along has been to match my shoes and nails to my bridesmaids. The other pair is white and have some bling. They’re dyeables so I could ultimately match them to the color I want. I feel so torn on what shoe and what color to choose, but thankfully I still have time to decide. Then again, I may end up with several more pairs of “wedding shoes” by the time my big day arrives!
So, I said yes to the dress – I bought it, I signed on the dotted line, and I took it home. Now I need to say I do to the shoe! Let the decision making begin!
Stay tuned!
