Welcome to the forum!!

I just found this thread. Thanks for sharing the progress of your dress, it is beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product in December. And congratulations on your weight loss!

We haven't completely decided on our music yet, but this is what we have so far: Processional - Ribbon in the Sky (Stevie Wonder) Bride Entrance - Endless Love (Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross version) First Dance - Back at One (Brian McKnight)

Our first dance will be to "Back at One" by Brian McKnight. I've always liked this song, but when I read the lyrics to the song online, I knew it was the perfect song for our first dance.

Congrats... I felt the same way after booking our cruise!

Thanks for the info!

I share your frustration Courtney. I have spent the past two days marathon dress shopping. My first round of dress shopping was about three weeks ago. I haven't found "the one" yet. One thing I have found that helps narrow down the dress selection process is to take digital photos of you in the dresses. Some of the dresses that look absolutley beautiful in person don't photograph well. You definitely want something that is going to photograph well because those photos will be on display for years to come. The biggest roadblock in my dress selection is that I have a scar (2nd degree burn) on my chest, so I did not want to deal with a strapless dress and have to figure out how to cover the scar. Pretty much all of the dresses in the bridal shops are strapless. I was hoping to try on a dress that has an illusion halter neckline similar to the Maggie Sottero-Rio dress (Rio - by Maggie Sottero), but haven't found a bridal shop yet that carries these types of necklines for me to try on in my size. My only other alternative is to get a strapless dress and find a good scar cover makeup that won't rub off onto a white dress (which I haven't found yet). Hopefully I will find a dress soon because I need to start working on finding the bridal party dresses. Good luck in finding your perfect dress. Post a pic to this site when you find it!
