I started my dress search last Saturday. I must say it was fun! I had all the appropriate undergarments, my inspiration book, and my friends in tow and was sufficiently loosey on pomegranate mimosas.
Saturday: one shop, nothing.
Sunday: two shops, a few things, but not exactly "the one" and two that I liked were waaaaaaaay out of my price range. Actually, I found a dress that's a little different and lovely and only $400, but I told myself I'd keep looking since I didn't feel like it was quite "the one".
Monday: several shops and nothing.
I'm not overly concerned or frustrated by this. I know that finding the right dress takes time and patience, and I was very happy being surrounded by friends and family at various intervals. I've taken a more calm and serene attitude about the whole thing, since in my opinion that's the healthiest way to go about it.
But that doesn't change the fact that last night, Josh and I went to look for his wedding suit and we had it found and bought (INCLUDING SHOES) for well under budget and in about an hour and a half.
WTF???
Do we do this to ourselves? Is the perfect dress really just an illusion fabricated by the wedding industry? Do I - I who never dreamed about my perfect dress - really need to find "the one"?
Sigh.
But, I'm going to keep my chin up and trust my gut....it will happen!!! Probably when I least expect it.
