Am I Saying Yes To The Dress?!

This past weekend I went to try on dresses (because apparently I'm running out of time, hogwash if you ask me!). This is a task I have been dreading because being a curvy girl I was certain no dress would make it past my thighs. After expressing my concern to a few wonderful friends I was assured that Beckers Bridal would have a great selection of larger sample sizes to try on - and by larger i mean anything over a size 8!

They were right! I was led into the back room where there must have been 100's of beautiful gowns to try on. Since I had no idea what I wanted or what would look good I allowed the sales consultant (Liat) to pull some selections for me. She allowed me my privacy getting into the dress and then helped me tie, clip and pin things in place so that I could have a better idea of how the gown would fit.

After trying on 2 I "liked" 1 but it wasn't love....dress #3 however....LOVE!
Totally not a style I would have thought would look the best on me but I felt beautiful, elegant, classy and best of all comfortable! The dress is all silk and light which after wearing this baby for 12-14hrs I'm sure ill appreciate.

I went over to another store after just to take a look and found another I really liked but it wasn't as 'me' as the first so after "keeping it real" with myself as I walked to the car, it was decided I have found THE dress!!!!

I almost feel weird or guilty that is was that easy but I'm totally satisfied and have no need to keep looking because Ill only end up confusing myself. The next step is take the 2 moms to see it... here's hoping they love it as much as I do :)
