The Dress

I tried my dress on last night for my Dad. It just didn't feel the same this time when I tried it on. Maybe it was because I wasn't standing up above everyone and surrounded by mirrors? LOL Just seemed different. I think I'll like it more once I'm on the beach only a few feet from the OCEAN!!!

I wanted something simple and didn't want to spend too much- this dress was originally $400 and I got it at their $99 sale! I was very excited about this bargain buy. Of course the veil I bought cost $99 all on it's own, the same as the dress! Just crazy. It's not in any of these pics though b/c it just didn't look right. I'm sure it will be beautiful outside on the beach though.


I'm getting it fitted next month in TN (has to be taken in around the hips. It's a sz6 & the consultant even said they run small, WOOOHOOOO!), so I'll have to keep my workouts going and my diet clean. Boy would that suck if I couldn't fit into it come October! LOL

Hey, I'm back!!! You were my first thing I looked at on my computer. Oh girl, I'm so sorry about the delay in deployment. If I had been here I would have called you right away.

You look so beautiful in that dress, just like a bride, a very beautiful one at that.

And $99? Who'd a thunk it?

Good work.

Hi again! Just got your message. I hadn't emailed you yet, I'm still trying to get caught up here. What instant messenger do you use again?? I know it's not AOL. Is it a free service? Because if it is, I'll download it, so we can chat more easily.

I'm just get caught up after being gone a few days and WOW! I'm so sorry to read about the delay in Jon's return. I cannot imagine going through what you are going through - and have been going through.

But it sounds like things are coming together for you. I cannot believe you didn't eat crap! Good for you!

And the dress... wow - what can I say? It is fabulous and you look absolutely gorgeous. Your dad must have had tears in his eyes to see you in it.

You are gonna make one hot mamma down there on the beach, my little chickadee!

I love your dress. You look even more beautiful than the actual model wearing it in the catalog (I almost got that one myself!).

Simply breathtaking!
