The Dress

August 10, 2006

This past weekend I went wedding dress shopping in Lincoln, NE with Alyssa and Keely (two of my bridesmaids) and Dusty’s mom, Jane. We went to J’Marie’s Bridal Shop where there are literally hundreds of dresses. I tried dress, after dress, after dress on. Although there were many dresses to choose from, we didn’t find anything that we felt was “the one”. For those of you who don’t know me very well, I’m very indecisive. I don’t have favorites and I don’t like making the “final decision” on anything. Good thing Dusty doesn’t mind helping make the decisions most of the time. Dress shopping wasn’t any different. Since I didn’t have Dusty I had to count on the girls, or so I thought. Every time I tried on a new dress I would ask my entourage what they thought. Of course, they are all so kind and would wait until they got some feedback from me before saying that they agreed with me that they liked it or didn’t like it and that this or that just didn’t seem to look right. We had our favorites that we would keep to the side but nothing that told us we should stop looking all together because we had found the perfect dress. Our next stop was Ellynee Bridal. The shop was great and had a wonderful selection of dresses. As we walked into the room where all of the dresses were, we saw a mannequin wearing a beautiful gown. Everyone agreed that it looked gorgeous and suggested I try it on, just for fun. It didn’t look like anything I would choose as a final selection but still a great dress for the girls to have me try on. I put it in the dressing room along with at least ten other dresses we thought looked like the style I was interested in. I tried the mannequin dress on and thought it was nice. We put it in the “keep pile” and kept trying on more. Eventually we narrowed it down to a few and I tried on the “keep pile” dresses again. I fell in love with the dress on the mannequin even though I only tried it on for fun. I went back on Sunday with my mom to have her see it and I got my measurements so we could get it ordered. One of the associates called today and said it would be in mid December. Hopefully it will come in before Christmas. I wish I could show everyone the dress but we’ve decided Dusty can’t see the dress until our wedding day and I know if I posted it he couldn’t resist looking.
