Honestly, I haven't done much wedding planning yet.. I am laid back and kind of just know things will fall in to place so I haven't stressed much yet... I have purchased a wedding dress though! Wedding dress shopping was fun! All of my sisters, my mom, and my best friend came. We went to Alyssa's Bridal first because we figured they'd have the biggest selection of modest, affordable dresses and we were right. At the beginning I had a little break down because all of their dresses are made for girls that are 5'9" and I'm 5'2" and very short torsoed.. (I don't think that's a word) So the dresses I was trying on in my size wouldn't even zip up all the way. My ribs were where my waist should be so the bottom zipped fine, the top closed fine but the middle was no where close to zipping up. I had to try on dresses THREE sizes bigger then my normal size. So, naturally I had a break down because nothing was fitting. But, once I got over it, trying on all of the pretty dresses was lots of fun!! After I picked out my favorite two we ran over to the mall to buy a new bra and look at the bridal store in there. All of the dresses there were more expensive and I didn't love any of them. So, we didn't even try any on. We bought a bra and ran back to Alyssa's. I put my final two choices on once more and this is what we decided on:
It's not a super good picture and you can't see the whole thing.. but it gives you a good idea!
I'm glad to have that picked out! I went in for my first fitting the other day (because I need a bunch of alterations) and they said it will take at least two fittings. So, it's good I got one picked out so fast! We've also picked out our colors which will be dark purple and light gray with peacock feathers for an accent... That might not make sense but trust me, it will be awesome. I also purchased my wedding shoes! Since Kyle is kind of short.. I just bought flats so I wouldn't risk being taller then him
So cute! I ordered them online and they should be here next week! We also are getting our engagements done next weekend, so we need to figure out what we are even going to wear.. There is a lot that goes in to planning a wedding.. But, it's fun!

How fun! I totally feel your pain with wedding dresses! But, when I was trying on wedding dresses at Alyssa's "Alyssa" herself told me something about dresses: They are made by Chinese women who are very very small. So, they naturally make them smaller than what our typical sizing is. I think it is HORRIBLE to make a girl feel bigger when trying on THE most important dress of her life, but I felt better knowing that it wasn't just me :)
P.S.
I think Amber is adorable hiding in the back :)
I loved wedding dress shopping with you and I'm glad that you invited me. I can't wait till the big day... I should start looking for a date!!! I love you both... mucho grande!!!
I am so excited to see what you come up with :) And those shoes are freaking awesome.
