Wedding Bliss

Today I bought my wedding dress.  I thought I would just go and look around but then I tried on the dress that felt and looked perfect.  Plus...it was a Vera Wang dress on clearance, and... Daniel's reaction when I came out in it was priceless, so I brought it home.  I only tried on four dresses:

...and the winner was #3!  The fourth dress was a Greek goddess look that I had seen online, and although I liked it a lot, it didn't feel right for a picnic wedding.  After trying on the fourth dress, I put dress number 3 on again and it felt so right.  It met all my criteria: sleeves, under $1000, and no poofy-foofy-ness.  I love it, and knowing what I will wear has helped set the tone for the other details.

(We had to use the Christmas tree as a background because all our walls are so white!)

I know there are a lot of pictures here for one dress and it might seem obsessive, but I missed having my mom and sister with me so this post is dedicated to you girls!!
