Ordered my dress!!

So I decided on a dress, and it is ordered. The one at the French Door that I wrote about a few weeks ago is it! And this weekend it was 20% off.

There was a visit that I didn’t tell everyone about. After one of our fall weddings, my birthday to be exact, I wanted to go show it to Randy. I know there it is superstitious or whatever it is to let the groom see the dress before the wedding. And I think that it is pretty unheard of for the groom to see the bride before the wedding in her dress.

When I found this one that I really liked, I showed it to him on the internet. Looks good or fine I believe he said. I didn’t want it to be just fine. I wanted him to like it as much as I did. So I took him there to show it to him. If he didn’t like it I needed to know. I wasn’t planning on trying it on, but it was kind of like taking a kid into a toy store again and he or she seeing a toy they really want for Christmas and then not letting them play with it. I needed to play with it again. So, I tried it on.

I will never forget the look on Randy’s face when I came out of the dressing room. I think at that moment, I knew this would be the dress I was going to get married in. He was doing something on his cell phone when he looked up and saw me. Kind of a look of shock or wow this is going to happen and hmm that dress looks really nice…was how I read his face. If I remember correctly he said, “Hmmm…wow…that is gorgeous.”

I stood in front of the mirror again with my mom, brother and fiancé behind me. All the time thinking to myself, yep this is going to happen, and it is going to happen in this dress.

We left and I spent the rest of the day asking Randy questions, and making sure he really liked it. Then I had to ask myself…He wants to marry me. Will it really matter what dress I pick? He will think that I look beautiful no matter what dress I wear. And on that day, nothing else is going to matter.

YEAH!!! I can’t wait!!!
