Wedding whirlwind...

So yesterday was a crazy day o' wedding! It was extremely productive though! I went and saw the venue. It was GORGEOUS!! Way better than I could have ever imagined! Much more extravagant that I ever thought I could afford! So of course I went ahead and put down a deposit and booked our date! November 7, 2009! Then I went over to my sisters where we spent several hours talking, invitations, flowers, colors, dresses etc! Then we went to David's Bridal where I had a MUCH better experience! Thank you God! It was so nice to be able to try on dresses that actually fit me, and didn't make me feel like a fat cow! So I tried and the one I really like from pictures. It was also sentimental because it looked very similar to my Mom's wedding dress. Well it was nice but it didn't Wow me. Then I tried on one that was complete opposite of what I thought I wanted and low and behold it was perfect! I thought I wanted cap sleeves well it's strapless. I thought I wanted lace overlay well it has no lace on it. I thought I wanted simple and not puffy well it's big puffy tool princess dress! On the want list it has a lace up back, (Jeremy's request he liked that on a dress he saw at another wedding) I like that it has pearls instead of beading. It's very flattering and makes me feel skinny and pretty! So all and all it was perfect! Then it got even more perfect when I saw it was on Sale! The ticket had it for $150 less than my budget! Then the girl went to check the price and actually it was $350 less than my budget! Holy smokes how could I not buy it instantly!? So I did! In about 3 weeks of being engaged I have already chosen and booked a venue and bought a dress. I know I still have a lot to do but I feel like that's pretty good start! I still have 10 months to figure out the rest. Hopefully it continues to go as smoothly!
