Dress Fitting

Thursday my mom and I went down to David's Bridal to have my first dress fitting. At first I thought, "what besides a bustle could they possibility need to do?" Well boy was I wrong. Unfortunately, the dress still fits (I wished it was to big but it could certainly be the other way) but the seamstress at Davids are WONDERFUL! First they helped me with a decision I needed to make regarding the sleeves. Also, they created a beautiful bustle on the dress and added some special touches that I had not even thought of. As I stood there in my dress, I fell in love with it even more. I knew from the minute I saw it I loved it but as I stood there and watched her work her magic, the dress became even more me and I loved it! I can't wait to wear it for everyone and especially for Jeff.

As Mom and I shared that special moment I looked over and saw her with tears in her eyes. I thought, oh we are in trouble if crying already. Kidding of course but she is happy for me and said she was thinking of that day. She knows like we all do that day will be one of extreme emotions. Those being of happiness and love and of loss. We will all be thinking of those who won't be there to see it. I guess that is what weddings do for us all. They make us realize what a wonderful event they are and help us to remember those we lost. I know that day though, that my grandmother (Mawm), my grandfather (Gramps), my uncle (Walt) and my step-father (Barney) will all be there in that church with us and walking me down the aisle. Because I believe that those people are with me everyday, so where else would they be on that most special of days, where all their family is gathered.
