2 months from today....
I'm gettin' hitched!
This weekend was crazy. A few weeks ago I ordered the wedding dress I fell in love with online and I've been waiting for it to get here. Or rather, to a store in Lehi. My Dad actually called I'm pretty sure every bridal store in Utah as well as a couple in Idaho and one in some random state for this dress and no one had it in. He eventually found one place getting it, so I hurried and- with only slight complications- ordered it.
Three weeks later they finally told me it came in, so I headed up after work on Friday and was so excited to see it. I got there, tried it on....and hated it. :( It was the saddest thing. The ladies at the store kept saying how great it was and finally Melinda took me aside and asked me about it and I tried telling her what was wrong and then just ended up tearing up with her saying "oh no, don't cry!"
The whole way home I just kept trying not to think about it so I wouldn't cry and when I got home I didn't even want to try it on for anyone. I tried it on a few times anyway, just to see if I could learn to like it, and then slept on it that night and decided the next day I just couldn't do it. By that point we were up in Idaho and Logan looking around for reception places. That ended up being pretty fun and we found two places we're deciding between.
While we were out and about I just kept thinking about my dress and I asked my Dad to just list it for sale online. After a couple hours Logan called the store I got it from and sweet talked them into letting me exchange it. They even stayed after hours and I had the whole store to myself and a personal shopper to help me with dresses. They close at 6pm and I was there from around 7pm-9pm. I found the perfect dress- (which ended up being almost the exact opposite of the first one I got) and it doesn't need any alterations (phew- sigh of relief) and now things are back on track again! The lady told me she usually doesn't even call Grooms back but Logan was just so nice on the phone she wanted to make an exception for us. It was a Christmas miracle! ....or maybe a wedding miracle. :)
We have pictures on March 10th with one of my favorite photographers around here so I'm totally excited, and the weekend after that I have my Bridal Shower Melinda is throwing me which is gonna be awesome, I'm really stoked. Things are getting busier, but (cross your fingers) just more and more fun as time goes on. :)

wow, that store sounds so nice to do all of that for you! i'm glad you found one you liked. its funny how things can look really different when they're actually on you. best of luck with the rest of planning! :)
I'm so glad you finally got the dress you wanted though. That's awesome! I look back at my wedding pictures and think, "Wow, why didn't anyone talk some sense into me and tell me I looked AWEFUL!"
There's a reason there's no wedding pictures hanging up in my house. I'm vain. Pure and simple.
And seriously, what's all this talk about you being in Idaho again and such? Girl, if you were in the Falls and didn't come see me, I just might have to sneek into you place and swipe those gorgeous heels I've been drooling over. Just sayin'.
Where are you getting married at anyhow?
I know, that store was awesome. Or at least the sales lady was.
Ha ha, Sarah, I wasn't in the Falls don't worry. Maybe if you come to my reception I'll let you wear my heels :) Wait, can you bribe people to come to your wedding? Is that tacky? Ah, heck with it, I better bribe some people or nobody will show up!
We're getting married in Logan, and having the reception in the castle down the street. :)
Whatever. You'll have so many people there you won't have time to visit with little ole' me.
Besides, that's just cruel to offer to let me wear your shoes when you know darn well I have step-sister feet! LOL! *sigh* A girl can always dream I guess.
And you better send me an invite! I have a bro-in-law who lives near Logan, if I can make it, I will totally come!
