So yesterday I did more dress shopping. I took along my cousins Marian and Marilyn to help me out. We went to David's Bridal, and it was a lot of fun. I let them pick out some of the dresses that I tried on. Some were cool, some I wanted to gag in. It was a very different experience than my trip to Saran Bridal. You could tell that David's Bridal was a chain by the service I got. It wasn't bad, but at Saran it was a bit more personable. Though I DID like the idea of being able to go through all the dresses and pick the ones that I tried on. Also, I liked that we were able to take pictures, too.
Alas, though, none of them held a candle to THE DRESS that I found a week ago. There was a small debate in my head, because the dresses at DB cost half as much as MDWD (my dream wedding dress) which would save me a lot of money. But then again, none of them made me feel as pretty or as excited as MDWD did. I think the extra money is worth it!
If you'd like the longer version, and pictures of our adventures, check out my wedding blog.
Afterwards, we went out to Baker's Square for some pie. I've been itching for some for a while. It was nice to hang out with the cousins. We've never hung out together like this before. It was really nice. We talked about my crazy life (oh yeah, it's CRAZY) and shared a lot of good laughs. Definitely something we have to do on a bigger scale next time! Melanie, Fatima and Claudine, keep your calendars open during Easter. We're gonna have a gals night out! And we'll find a fake ID for Marilyn! *evil grin*

And by the way, it is part of my honor code here at school to represent my profession responsibly by not taking part in any illegal activities, so I cannot in good conscience take part in any unlawful ID shenanigans.
then you can't come, claudine.

The next time you go shopping for the dress, make sure you bring the blonde wig AND see how try and imagine what it will look like when you come riding in on the elephant. And also, make sure that it's flame retardant, you know, for the midget fire knife eaters.
