Hi Wedding Dress...Meet My Best Friend Scissors.

SOoo I got my wedding dress in the mail. I was immediately disappointed in the packaging when I saw it. It was in a small bag type package and I didn't understand how a wedding dress could fit in there. I mean I know I'm small and everything, but I was expecting at least a box.  The disappointment continues. The top part of the dress is covered in this beading and sequence and rhinestones. I think I'm the first bride ever to immediately take scissors to her new wedding dress. After I cut off all the junk on top I felt ALOT better. The dress looked a lot classier and gave me hope for it's future. Now I'm working little by little to make my dream dress. The factory that made it did do the changes that I want which was a miracle considering the language barrier.  So I'm glad to at least have something to work with.  Don't get me wrong, it's pretty, but now I get the chance to make it me, and then I'll be really happy.

Not so Ugly...

After searching long and hard, far and wide, I found a dress. Props to Google Products. I covered all search grounds possible I think.... Here's some of the searches I tried:

• modest wedding dresses
• modest wedding gowns
• lds wedding dresses
• lds wedding gowns
• Temple Wedding Dresses
• wedding dresses with sleeves
• wedding gowns with sleeves
• wedding dresses with cap sleeves
• wedding dresses with shirt sleeves

It's all about the wording... and after searching through hundreds of google product pages(which takes products from any sites that sell) I found this one. 
If you know me, you know that I couldn't just wear any ol wedding dress, and to be honest, I thought wedding dresses were UGLY when I started to look. Well, I proved myself wrong because I ordered a far from ugly dress, which hopefully arrives and fits!  They took my custom measurements and were more than willing to make the changes I needed to make sure it would be modest enough.  Once it does come and I'm satisfied THEN I may or may not recommend the place I ordered it from. It should be coming this week!


In other news, Megan has finished our announcement design and I'm going to have those printed this week in between my finals and such. Dez got a side job while him and the boys were off from their other job for a couple weeks. Things are finally falling into place and plans are solidifying! Mom and Mike have their tickets to come from Germany, and all of Dez's family is booked for Kona. 102 days left!
