Wedding Dress and veils

Yesterday Carole and I spent almost 2 hours in the bridal store while Britt, Nathan, and Ava spent 2 hours sitting in the car. Of course Ava was taking her nap so it wasn't too big a deal. Britt was reading and Nathan was listing to Russ Martin on the radio...so all were entertained. :)

I tried on MY wedding dress. It was the right one, it fit, and there was nothing wrong with it...so I was very very happy. I admired myself from many angles in the mirror while Carole happily snapped pictures.

I was about to change out of my dress when discussion turned to headpieces and veils. I had no idea what I wanted or even where to start. In all honesty I had never really even thought about it before. So then we started trying on veils. An hour later I we had determined that I would have a long veil...one that comes down about below my bottom (trying to say that nicely). And it will have a double satin edge.

I felt so pretty...and so much like a bride in my dress trying on veils. Now I just have to pick a headpiece...nothing too big...I don't feel like looking like a princess. :)

My first fitting is in January on Martin Luther King Day...we aren't in school that day so it is a perfect time to go for my first fitting. Mom can see my veil then and we can order it. And I found a head piece I liked there so I can put it on my head and see if I like it. Now I just have to find shoes and the proper undergarments and I will be set. :)

Oh it is so exciting! I can hardly wait until June!!!!
