i was spending the day with my sister and we stopped in a store that didn't require an appointment to try on dresses.
i figured i would look around and a few dresses caught my eye.
i picked out 3 to try on.
i just got a feeling when i felt and saw how the one fit.
i loved it!!
my sister did too!
my mom was in canada at the time so we took pictures to show her.
this past saturday i had an appointment at david's bridal.
i figured i'd go there since they have some lower priced dresses.
i didn't like any of them.
our fitting room attendant was working with 2 other girls besides me and the service just wasn't the best.
when i told her i'd tried on a dress the previous weekend that i loved and showed her the photos, she rolled her eyes when i informed her where i had tried it on at!
at that point my mom, my sister and i were ready to leave...so we did ;)
we went out for lunch at don pablos for some yummy mexican food!
we chowed on chips and salsa and talked about going to that other store on our way home.
our server had gone to get our check and she returned to let us know that some man had paid for our tab!!
we got a free lunch from some kind older man. i thought it was awesome that some stranger would pay for our lunch. how nice of him, right!?
my mom and my sister were kind of freaked out about it.
anywho...
on our way home we stopped at the other store.
i tried on the dress and my mom knew right away too that it was the one.
it fit like a glove.
i don't think i will need any alterations!
which is perfect since i spent over what i was planning to.
i ordered the beautiful dress and it will be here in 14 weeks!
i got a veil as well!
i'm so excited!!!
i'm not going to tell you which one is "the one".
these dresses are all by the designer of my dress.
you can guess if you'd like...
DRESS 1
DRESS 2
DRESS 3
DRESS 4
DRESS 5
DRESS 6
DRESS 7
all photos found by searching dere kiang in BING imagesthe rest of my weekend was great as well.
saturday night billy and i went out for some buffalo wild wings!
we went home and went to bed really early, like by 9! ha!
sunday i spent the day with one of my besties, laura :)
we looked at tons of old photos from our partying days and just reminisced about all the fun we used to have and trouble we'd get into.
billy and i went to my parents for dinner and to watch amazing race and under cover boss. when we got home we watched a michael buble concert on tv and then called it a night.
i hope everyone had a great weekend!!

i love all the dresses. so gorgoeus. i had a similar crummy experience with david's. boo hoo! you are going to be a beautiful bride.
I love number 5, but I say that you picked number 7! Can't wait to find out!!!
how fun! its such a great moment when you find "the one"!!
sounds like a great weekend!
Congrats on finding "the one". Everything else is all downhill from there! ;)
So exciting! It's such a great feeling to put a dress on and know that it's THE ONE. They are all gorgeous :)
yay!!!! that's awesome that you found your dress :D the designer is amazing!! can't wait to see what "the one" is :)
They are all so beautiful!!
Congratulations girl! I'm sure you will be absolutely stunning. I'm guessing 2 or 4.
Your weekend sounds completely fabulous too by the way. Well, minus the David's sitch, which I recently experienced with a friend of mine as well.
im so glad you found THE ONE!
I love them all! I can totally see you in all of them. I think I'm going to guess it is number 2! I can totally see you in any of them, but that one stuck out to me.
Congrats! How exciting!!!
I'm guessing 2 or 3 but I'm sure you would look stunning in any of them! Can't wait to find out which one is THE ONE!
All of those are beautiful, congrats on finding the one!!!
YAY!! Congrats on finding "the one"!!
So, you had a pretty amazing weekend...first off Mexican food and BWW are my FAVES! Secondly, how exciting to have your dress. It must be a David's Bridal thing because the one in AR had crap for service and I didn't like any of their dresses either. So, for voting which dress you chose...my guesses are either 1, 4, or 7. If I recall right I think you had tried on some poofy ones and liked them previously? I can't remember 100% but I LOVE poofy dresses 4 & 7 look like something I would buy!
I am so happy for you that you found "the dress!" Very exciting!! All the dresses above are stunning!
I never had the bad experience with Davids Bridal that I went to for my dress, but I had some pretty crappy experiences at some other stores. I am glad you found your dress... I can't wait for you to tell us!!
2, 4 or 7........that's my guess :) Hah! I'm so bold, aren't I?!
I'm so happy you found "the one"!!! I think you should visit my blog and continue finding wedding day attire!!! That might include something pink for you to carry!!! XOXO
congrats on finding a dress! THey're all gorgeous! I can't pick just one! lol
Congrats, what a big relief when "The Dress" is found! What a wonderful weekend you had :)
They are all beautiful! But I am going to guess that Dress #2 is the dress! ;) Can't wait to see pictures of you in it and see if I'm right! Hope you have a fabulous day!
YAYAYAYA! so exciting! I am going with #2 or #4
I'm guessing dress 2 but you will look gorgeous in any of them!!! Congrats on finding the one!!
Beautful dresses. I am going to guess dress #2
I lovelovelove Dress #2! I hope that is the one... but all of them are gorgeous, as are you so whatever you pick will be, perfect! :)
Yay!!! Congrats lady, that is so exciting! I'm sure whichever dress you chose will look gorgeous!
I had HORRIBLE encounters with David's Bridal as well!
All of those dresses are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!
Those are all awesome. Can I try on number two?!?! And, I'm totally not surprised about the David's thing! Congrats girl!!!
I am loving #2.
So when are you going to tell us which one you picked!?!
Glad you found one.. and that you LOVE it. Congrats. I'm guessing #2, but they are all amazing. Enjoy your week!
I'm sure you'll look stunning in any of those. If I had to guess I would say number 2..it just look 'you', I can def. see you pulling that off! :)
How exciting. They are all beautiful dresses, but my guess is #2 or #5. Congrats on finding 'The One'.
They're ALL gorgeous, but I think #6 is my favorite!
How exciting that you found your dress!! I really like #s 2, 3, and 4.
And I don't think its weird that someone paid for your food, I think its really nice!
omg. they will all look so beautiful on you!
Dress six is my fave! I think number 2 looks like you though... maybe because it resembles that pretty black dress you were wearing in that pic for that ball you guys went to.
I had found THE DRESS when I got married the first time, but my stepdad had offered to buy my dress and veil and all that, and it was soooo expensive. I knew he was struggling with money, so I went with a much cheaper dress. I had 2 cheaper dresses in mind and I let him pick out of the two. It was beautiful anyway. :) And then four years later I got divorced, so HA! Oh well. Guess that's why I got married the second time at the courthouse, wearing jeans and a hoodie, on a Wednesday lol
I can't wait to see which one you picked. You'd look great in any of them :)
i love the third one but i think you'd have chosen the last one! xxx
Congrats on finding the ONE!!!
Oh i LOVE them all.
You found it!!! YA, Annie that's so awesome. They're ALL so gorgeous! I'm guessing 2 but LOL I really don't know, they're all so beautiful!
Congratulations, honey :)
OH MY GOSH! Congrats! I LOVE EVERY SINGLE dress you pictured (Except one!) haha, but I know you will loook absolutey gorgeous in any of those dresses! Can't wait to find out which one!!!!
AND, that guy probably picked up your tab because he was smitten with 3 beautiful ladies. I WENT for Mexican with my Mom and MOH right after I picked my wedding dress too! FUNNY! So excited that you found the one.
AND...I told you before, but I had a BAD experience with DB people. so gross.
It's such an amazing feeling when you find THE ONE! I'm really diggin' #4, but I'm sure you look gorg in whichever one it is!
How exciting! I'd choose #3 for myself if I could do it all over again, but they're all beautiful. For some reason I can picture you in #2 or 7.
I love #4 so that's what I'm going for! Congrats!
Congrats on finding the right one!! :)
Oh my gosh, that is so exciting that you found the dress!! I felt like I didn’t get the best service at David’s Bridal either, so I don’t blame you for not liking it that much.
I love Don Pablo’s. That place is so delicious and one of my faves. I cannot believe that someone was sweet enough to “pay it forward” like that. So nice!
All of those dresses are beautiful. I am going to guess and say that you went with #4.
It sounds like a great weekend and I am so happy that you found your dress. I cannot wait to find out which one it is!
I think they're all pretty, but I'm guessing that you picked number 2!
I think it's so sweet that someone paid for you lunch :) We need more nice people in this world!
How exciting! I cannot pick one, I love them all. Dont you wish we could just wear them all and have them all? Ha ha I still dance around in my gown even after I had the baby! :)
You are going to look amazing and how exciting about your meal being paid for!
Yay for finding the one!!!!! I can't wait to see which one it is! I think you would great in any one of them!
How exciting! I had a bad experience at David's Bridal too! I am sooo glad you found "The Dress"! Can't wait to see which one it is! How nice someone paid for your lunch! What a fun day with your bestie....I heart spending time with my friends and talking about old times....
Have a Happy Day
Summer ;))
