Oh, David!

i feel like every bride-to-be smirks at the idea of going to David's Bridal and would "never set fooooot" in that place.


I kinda was like that. but thennnn. you're like well. it's close and convenient so you check out the website.

and then you realize... THEY HAVE AWESOME DRESSES! so my mom and dad and I decided to make a little trek down to David's Bridal. It's David's Bridal. No we don't need to make an appointment. psshhh.

I walk in. and OH MY GOSH.

there were SOOOOOOOO. MANY. GIRLS. like, I felt like we were at a Justin Beiber concert.

like, barely any room to walk.


I had underestimated dear old David and his bridal shop.


Luckily, I happened to snag the last "walk in appointment" and soon I was united with my "personal stylist" Whitney :) i walk around the store and pick out a few dresses and then she leads me to my "room" where this greeted me. ohhh fancy schmancy.

I open the door to the dressing room and literally the little stall is 2 feet by 2 feet. Remember the tulle dress? Yeah. I literally COULD NOT fit into the room with that baby on. The dress got caught in the door. hehe.

I survived the trying on, and left with a potential winner.

this lovely Vera Wang wedding dress...

yep. that's me. the vampire look is in, remember? NOT. WHY WOULD MARKETING PEOPLE THINK THIS IS AN INVITING AD??????????????

the bow could be tied anywhere, and I LOVED the flowey-ness of this.



okay. see the girl in the background? sometimes when I would show people this picture they would eventually tell me that they thought that was MY back in the back of the picture and didn't know what to say about how it was kind of unflattering. nope. just the MEAN girl next to me who would NOT share the pedestal... :(

i don't think my daddy-o was thrilled with our Sunday morning excursion (he was a trooper though and we promised him we would get Wendy's frosty's after (conveniently located next to David's Bridal? weird.) and I wasn't 100% into the dress on my hips.
he was the only guy in the entire store. with like 100 girls.


so yeah. this was the first wedding dress that I had tried on and could picture myself getting married in.

buuuuuuuut.

nope. not the one... ;)

side note: don't think just because you use a printing company to make things, you don't have to do more work to them. ugh.

AND i went to the grocery store with a stamp in my hair. and the checker pulled it out for me.

umm... yeah :)
