"THIS IS IT!!"

I found the dress :)

Since Darryl stumbles upon this blog every once in a while I can't reveal anything, but it is beautiful.  It makes my butt look good, too.  HAH!

Big thanks to my mom, Marthie, and the Ivory Suite bridal boutique in South Pas!

Wishful thinking.

When I get stressed out (like when studying for a midterm or final) I do multiple things to cope, not all at once of course.  I cook, bake, clean, or online shop.  In this case, I was online shopping and browsing images of Monique Lhuillier's collection of bridal gowns.

I can't wait for the day I can go wedding dress shopping!  I don't enjoy getting dressed up, but I can appreciate a gorgeous dress :)

Love is in the air!

Wow, so within the past couple months, 4 couples in which I know one or both people in the couple (all my age) got engaged!  Congratulations to all of them.

It seems like 2 years after undergraduate graduation is a popular time to propose?  One of my girlfriends from the Masters program had a similar experience with her friends last year (and she's a year older than I am.)

I was bored so I was looking at some ridiculously expensive wedding dresses.  Surprisingly, I really only liked one of the dresses by Monique Lhuillier!  That's good for my future wedding budget :)  Apparently I don't enjoy ornate gowns with long trains, who knew.

It's a little too lingerie-inspired for me (lace is def. Monique's thing), but I LOVE the overall silhouette of the dress.  Strapless sweetheart neckline, cinched waist, A-line skirt.  Yummy.
