BRIAN! WALK AWAY FROM THE BLOG! (In which this blog becomes a Brian free zone until after the wedding.)

That means, honey, if you read further down this post I will have to kill you!

You don’t get to see me until our wedding day!

My wedding dress came in last week and I tried on on Saturday.

SO- I ordered Ivory.

I got diamond white.

Because the dress comes in white, diamond white, and gold- which I thought was Ivory and it’s my fault for not asking further when the girl was ordering my dress.  It SAYS Ivory on all the forms, so basically- the company saw the order, saw Ivory and didn’t bother to call and say this dress doesn’t come in Ivory.

In the long run it doesn’t matter other than the fact that I looked better in Ivory than in white- but that can be remedied by a spray tan (or a real tan, should I feel like risking cancer )

I LOVE this dress.  I love how I feel in this dress.  I feel beautiful- not something I can generally claim.

I’ve never felt like “beautiful” was a word I could honestly apply to myself- on occasion glamorous, sexy, striking, attractive…. but never beautiful. Brian tells me I’m beautiful but I FEEL beautiful in this dress!

I had a wired bustier on underneath and the dress is wired too- it was wiring over kill- when I took off the bustier later it took a couple of inches off my waist. When I go in for alterations I’ll have some boobs added so that I don’t need a bustier

I didn’t take my camera!  These are pictures from my mom’s camera phone and my mother in law took pictures which she will email later.  My hair was in a low bun (kinda) and later I put it on top of my head(kindof) so we could try on different veils.

SO!

I have the narrowest shoulders.  And I have HIPS!  Can you SEE the back of the dress? Le Sigh!

Oh, the lace! the Beaded Beaded lace! and SATIN!  God how I love that word! SATIN!

We tried on 20 different veils…. they looked nice….,

I put my hair up, and my sister grabbed a cage veil and there was a collective sigh.  guess I’m going with a cage veil.  (I’m hoping that other pics show it better)

All in all it comes as feeling kindof like a period gown…. I’m going to have a french bustle… MUST find some SHOES!  And GOD WOMAN!  do some weights for those upper arms and back!

I love this dress….
