Say YES to the dress

I've always enjoyed watching the TLC show "Say yes to the dress." I mean, what girl doesn't love watching a show about about beautiful brides trying on gorgeous dresses!? But when Graym and I got engaged, boy, I don't think I've ever watched so many episodes of the same show in one day! I was in "Say yes" hyper-drive as I dreamed of my own perfect moment when I found my dress.

After a not so pleasant first try, I was more than stoked to head on over to Curvy Girls Bridal on Saturday. Joined by my mom, aunt, abuela, and two of my cousins/bridesmaids, it was definitely a family affair. The boutique itself was gorgeous, organized, and comfortable, and the staff was more than welcoming. After introductions, I was able to browse their bridal collection (a nice change from last time) and picked up about 10 different dresses! Hey, it's the only time in my life that I'll get to try on as many gorgeous gowns as I want. I might as well take advantage, right? :) After I modeled each and everyone, I found myself down to three. Two of them were very similarly styled so I tried those on first and was able pick my favorite out of those (but BOY was it hard!!). After I put the third dress on, it just failed to compare and looked so bland next to my choice. One last time, I slipped that pretty little thing on, looked into the mirror, and realized I was wearing the dress I'd be getting married in...that has by far been the most surreal, wonderful, crazy feeling as of yet! When I say it was breathtaking, I mean it. Every detail of the dress was perfect, and though I'd love to go into more details, Graym does read this blog and I have to leave some things a surprise for the actual wedding day ;) All you guys will just have to be patient like I am! Gosh, all I wanted to the the rest of the day was put that dress back on!

The day was a success. My wedding dress was picked, and I even chose the veil to go with it! Graym was so excited to hear the news, and it was definitely a special moment realizing we are one step close to becoming husband and wife. Wife. I'm becoming a WIFE. I still can't get over it!! :)
