April 2011 Brides

[greysgirl]

Brady-  What a great choice you have!  They both are gorgeous!

 

I made a fatal bride mistake and tried on more dresses AFTER I'd purchased a dress.  Grrrrr.  And of course, fell in love with another dress.  This was my 1st choice:  http://watters.com/product.php?coll=wtoobrides&showid=2559

 

I loved the way this dress felt.  It was English net, and I loved how flowy it was.  But, I couldn't get the other dress out of my mind.  I stumbled onto this dress by complete accident.  I had worked all night on call at the hospital, was exhausted, wearing the same scrubs I'd been in for 26 hours, and had to stop by a Best Buy to get a new Iphone holder.  So on my way out of the Best Buy store, I noticed a new bridal store just adjacent to it.  I walked in and saw my dress...and had to try it on.  I loved it.  It is completely unlike my 1st dress, but I couldn't get it out of my mind.  I thought about it for a month and went back with one of my best friends to try it on again.  When I came out of the dressing room, she started tearing up and said, "Darn it!  I was hoping I'd hate it because I liked your 1st one!".  So, I became a 2 dress bride.  This dress is not beachy.  But it's completely me.  And my FI will love it.  I can't wait to see his face with me in it:)

greysgirl - i just LOVE the dress you ended up with!!!

 

in order to avoid making the mistake of trying on anymore I don't even let myself watch say yes to the dress anymore!!! LOL not until after the wedding

[Brandy]

LOL, thats too funny Laura! I surprisingly havent even watched say yes to dress in quite a while although I do love that show!! Its very addicting.
