For a long time I've read those stories about gals and their wedding dresses, and how, when they find "The One," they cry and shriek and jump around and......yeah, basically a huge emotional overreaction. I knew I wouldn't get that way. (I figured that I'm...you know, sensible) I'd tried on a pile of dresses in Missoula, and hadn't found "The One," so I was resigning myself to the prospect of sewing my own.Don't get me wrong, I'm a perfectly decent seamstress, but having my wedding gown done in 9 weeks was daunting. So this morning, when Mom suggested I give Mimi's Bridal another try, I was somewhat reluctant. I hadn't had good luck there before, so why would I now?
The proprieter helped me in and out of a couple lovely ones, none of which were like "WOW! Super Amazing!" Then, she introduced the next one as being designed by Christina Wu.
Oh.
It's.
PERFECT!
It fits like a dream, and with the exception of hemming, it needs minimal alteration.
No, I didn't scream, but since it took my breath away, I know it's The One.
I would describe it here a little, but I happen to know that my fiance has a habit of dropping by my blog now and again. Suffice it to say, it is simple, elegant, and now it's my own. :-)

I'm so super happy that you found your dress. I'm still glad we went to Missoula, it was so much fun. But I'm just so glad that you have a dress and don't have to worry about sewing it afterall.
Yay. :) I was that way, I didn't jump up and down or shout or do all the crazy bride stuff. It was like *intake of breath.... sigh* then it was like.... *all tingly all over.* It was the exact dress I had looked at on the internet. I couldn't stop grinning. I was so excited. :) I did twirl around a bit. :) But I had to do something girly. Lol :)
So excited for you. The dress is the thing that I felt connected to the idea that It is actually happening. :) :) Happy Wedding planning! :) love u girl. :)
