The Dress

There has been a debate regarding the dress in our home for about a week. Last weekend we went to South Denver and looked for dresses - I mainly wanted him to show me what he liked and for me to do the same. It ended up with us at David's Bridal trying on a dress. He didn't like it but then I finally had to tell him that I didn't want him to see it. Is that too traditional??? Anyway, as a compromise we cruised the David's Bridal website and picked out several dresses that we both agreed on. Jim told me the "rules" and I think I did pretty well. The deal was that I had to get one of those in lieu of him going with me. It's a little odd having him so "involved" but he really wanted to go pick out the dress with and that just wasn't going to work for me.

Saturday, list in hand, I went dress shopping. I figured I would try one on and just know. However, I had Jim in the back of my head making comments. I think I've figured out what I'm going to do. I think I'm getting two dresses.

1. One a nice honeymoon dinner. This one just doesn't seem "wedding dressy" enough but is still gorgeous.
2. One for the wedding. This is very simple with color. Just what I was looking for.

I am going to think about it over the next week and make a decision so it can be ordered in my size - they said it could take up to 5 months to get here. Oh, and I have to rationalize buying two dresses. They are both on sale and less that $600 for both so I'm not feeling too bad but really - two dresses???

To ease in making the decision, I took photos. Yep - I already deleted ones of the dress I decided against but those two dresses are just etched in my mind and the decision is agonizing. I'm a little ahead of myself here buying a dress already but I figure we have to mark something off of the list and I'd rather spread the money over the next ten months rather than the last three!

FYI - I'm not posting the pix - the final decision will be a surprise for everyone!!!
