June and I went shopping for wedding dresses on Monday. She was ready to buy a dress and I went just to have the experience with my family and June. I have a dress that I bought at a yard sale years ago for $20 and I was perfectly happy wearing that dress and just getting it altered to make it into something that I wanted.
But, all of that changed when I started trying on dresses! I found the perfect one, very vintage, very antique looking - totally beautiful. It was funny because both June and I thought we knew what we wanted but after trying some on and asking for Tracy (our person at David's Bridal) to find dresses she thought we'd like - we both ended up picking a dress that she picked out for us! Totally weird for us, since we both are planners and usually know exactly what we want. I am not going to post any pictures of our dresses, you will just have to be surprised at our weddings!
I can't wait to get married, I feel married already. There is no one I'd rather spend my life with than Eb. He makes me feels so good everday, and he is my best friend. I feel lucky to be with him. My family loves him and I love his family, it is a perfect match.
June's wedding is coming quickly and mine is coming slowly. I can't wait to help her and be by her side planning and organizing. I kind of wish we would have planned everything in a shorter time because decisions have to be made quickly, and everyone just goes with the flow (Liz and Rich - that was the way to go!). It's a bit overwhelming when you want to include everything; and we just have to remember that we want to keep things simple so after the ceremony we can move right on to the partying! We know that everyone just loves us so much, and we are lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support from our family and friends.
Life feels great today, I think the cloud over me (after Leslee's death) has finally floated upward making the hole in my heart a bit smaller. It is hard to get back in the swing of things, but today I feel good. Life is good, and we are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. We love everyone so much, and after losing someone, it really shows you exactly how lucky you are (and how lucky you were before, when you maybe didn't take the time to notice). I have the most wonderful family, and I can't wait for Ian's family to be my family too. Thank you for your continued love and support, we can't ever express just how much all of you mean to us. We are so blessed.
So, above are some dress pics. You don't get to see us in any dresses, but you can see our experience a bit. I am so happy I got to share this day with my best friend, June, and my mom and Aunt Donna. It was really one of the most wonderful days of my life, and I can't wait for even more wedding experiences to share with my family and friends. Eb and I love you all!
