Dresses! So many dresses!

Oh my oh my oh my did I try on a LOT of dresses this past weekend in northwestern Indiana!  We went to a total of–get this–10 stores!  I would guess that I tried on AT LEAST 50 wedding dresses.  Yes, I said 50.  At least.  And I’m not even close to done!

Remember, if you want to see the photos of me in the dresses, just ask!  I will not post the link here, as Husband-in-Training may run across it, but it is available to whoever asks!

All in all, I did have a great time shopping with my mom.  We used to go prom gown shopping and always had a wonderful time!  And now, 10 years later, here we are searching for a wedding gown.  It’s a natural progression and I am so glad we get to do this together!

In other news, yesterday after dinner, I got two pieces of paper and two pens out so Adrian and I could write down our ideas for our wedding.  When we were done, we traded papers and realized our lists were almost 100% the same!  I guess you couldn’t ask for a better outcome.  We both want the same things from our wedding day.  So what kinds of things did we write down?

The words we ended up agreeing on were:

  • Informal
  • Small
  • Inexpensive
  • FUN
  • Outdoors (ceremony)
  • NO cake!
  • Personal
  • Nontraditional
  • Eco-friendly

What’s that, you say?  “No cake!?”  That’s right!  Neither Adrian nor I like cake, but I have no doubt we’ll have LEAST one other dessert option.  Most likely more than one.  That is, if I have anything to do with it.
