THE Wedding Dress and a Trip to Knoxville

I have officially found my wedding dress!!! 

Last weekend when we went dress shopping I had said I thought I had found the dress--even if it was the first place!  We still had the other appointments lined up for the day and went to them, and then with refreshed minds went to the last appointment Saturday morning.  That place had absolutely NOTHING I liked and I knew I wanted the dress from the first place--I was in love with it!! I could definitely picture myself walking down the aisle.  I could see Curt smiling because he thought I looked beautiful...atleast I hope that's how he reacts, ha!  Saturday before we left to go back home we went back to the first shop to try it on one more time...Whit, Mom, and I knew it was the one!

Tuesday, after I got off of work at 3, Mom, Whit, Ryan (my brother-in-law), baby Brynn, and myself went back to Saint Louis to the cute little boutique.  It was Brynn's first road trip and she did great!!  I tried the dress on one more time to make sure it was the one.  We all agreed it was!  Ryan really liked it and I think Brynn did too. =)  I was offically sized and the order for the dress was put in!!! It should be here in about 8 months!  My sizes were right on so hopefully it won't have to be altered too much--cross your fingers!  I cannot wait for everybody to see it!!!!  Too bad I can't put a picture of it on this blog, ha!

Tomorrow, I am going to Knoxville to visit the fiance and his family.  I love his family and am so excited to see everybody! With school starting up again, I don't know when I will be back again to visit and am glad for one more opportunity to see the future family!  Hopefully we will get to talk wedding plans too--that is if Curt doesn't get too annoyed. =)

Wedding Dress Shopping

Friday, Whit, Mom and I finally got to go wedding dress shopping! I have been dying to go, so we decided to make a weekend of it. =) We had 3 appointments, which looking back was probably too many, but it has been so much fun! At the last place, I just didn't want to see another dress that had lace, beads, etc!  I think I might have found "the one" at the first place but obviously can't put it on here!  Can't let the fiance see, Ha! 

It has been such a fun weekend so far spending time with Mom and Whit.  We haven't been able to do this in a long time!  We have one more appointment this morning.  After getting a goodnight's sleep we all feel ready to start the search again!

Beautiful dresses...expensive dresses...

Whit decided to relive her wedding days

Pretty, but definitely not the one!

Officially One Year and Counting

It's official! In exactly one year Curt and I will be married! It seems so far away but then I think about all of the wedding planning.  I hope there is enough time...!  My sister encouraged me to start this blog to help keep track of the year before the wedding.  Since I will be going back to Columbia soon for my last year of college and Curt will be heading back to Nashville for another year of Pharmacy school, I'm hoping it will keep family and friends up to date on the planning and what is going on in our lives!  And who knows, maybe it will be neat to look back and read.  Alright, let the planning begin! So put the date on the calendar, July 21, 2012 can't come soon enough!
