Yesterday one of my good friends asked me to go to Sydney with her to pick up her dress. She looks amazing in it and I love it. Seeing we had plans to visit dress shops and I only have 5 months to go I needed a dress ASAP.
The reason I have left my dress for so late in the game is because I have lost a significant amount of weight and I am still going.
So once we arrived at the shop half the stock was out as they had it at a wedding expo {something I feel they should have told me on the phone as I explain the distance we are travelling to see the dress shop.} Then the dresses I did like come far over the $2,500 mark (some had $4K on them)
Call me a tight ass but I am going to wear this dress once, I really can think of more memorable things to spend the money on, like a videographer, wedding rings, etc. I didn't want to spend more then $1,000 {I quickly learnt this is an un-realistic budget!}
The dress lady kept trying to bully me into picking something NOW. I started to cry and the emotions over come me. I was crying huddled in a ball on the dress shop floor. Not exactly what I wanted.
Who ever said wedding dress shopping is fun,
had unlimited budget, the perfect figure and a very positive mind!
So for now I have no dress and no desire to look anymore. I asked my fiance if he's ok with jeans. He said he doesn't care what I wear, he's just happy to marry me. I love that he is so amazing. I'm loving him more each day!
