I BOUGHT MY DRESS!!!!! Ok I just had to share!!!! hee hee hee.... Ok talk about lagging here. I know...the wedding is practically around the corner..yes 242 days to be exact!!! That leaves me w/ about 8 months from today!!! OH man!!!! Can I just share w/ you my adventures.....

Well let's start out w/ going to Chantal's back in March w/ my mom. I found a couple of dresses although no big wow. Then in April I check out Bride and Joy in San Mateo...and didn't really find any wow dresses or even really liked the customer service. It was ok..although I'm the type of person that likes to tell the sales person..ok this is the style possibly that I like and this is my price range... Didn't get that whatsoever... There system is "pick the dresses you like and then we'll try them on." Good grief...talk about spending too much time in a store... So then I go back to Chantal's in July and narrowed down my choices. So then last week I thought I had picked the "it" dress from Chantal's and had to order since they were having a sale that would only last till the weekend!!! Then I remembered seeing the same dress in an advertisement for a bridal store in San Jose called Trudy's???? So I call them up and ask them the cost on the dress???? OMG...... almost half the cost!!!!! GOOD GRIEF!!! Crazy I tell you!!!!! So I immediately made an appt and decided to drive down to CAMPBELL!!!!!!! I get there and then I'm torn again... This store has HELLA DRESSES and more in my budget...well which I thought was my budget.

Anyways... I drag my mom the next day to see the dresses and I get a different consultant and I end up w/ something totally different from what I had initially thought I liked. So tonight... went back for the 3rd time...... almost changed my mind cause I tried on some other dress....but I stuck w/ the dress the consultant brought out before. I even bought the veil!!!! Yes I know..I could have just bought it online...but this was much easier since I was pushin it on the time constraints!!!! So all i'm going to say about the dress is that it's simple but not and it's strapless w/ an a-line cut. hee he ehee....I kinda wanna keep it a surprise hopefully...we'll see how much I'll keep it to myself.... plus. Awsome reads my blogs so I can't be divulging too much!!!

Just had to share my joy and relief...I started to have nightmares last week about our wedding... I was like...so this is what Voodoo was talkin about. We've already went through..."wanna elope." hee he ehee hee
