On Monday I begin the search for the perfect wedding dress!
The wedding is in August so that leaves me plenty of time to find a dress and get it made or altered. I've got like 8 months to get this ready and this will be the next most expensive thing to buy after paying for the reception. But I haven't started on flowers or photography yet.
I am looking forward to going but I dislike the idea of being treated like a piece of flesh. I've heard horror stories already from other Brides-to-Be about how they have to strip in front of the shop assistants and they rush them from dress to dress. Too bad if you have body issues!
I've also heard about bitchy sales girls especially at the designer couture shops. I guess they figure you're not going to buy anything anyway so why treat you like
you might. I know what it's like to work in sales and be as nice as pie and do everything the customer wants and then not even gain a sale from it. It's annoying, especially when I the item the customer asked for dumped elsewhere.
Another thing, most girls dream of the one dress. Or they've had a picture in their head since forever about what they want it to look like. I was never that kid. I guess I just never thought it would happen to me so I didn't have those fantasies as a kid/adult. I'm a dreamer sure - but I dreamt about being a rock star not a blushing bride.
That's not to say that I haven't been thinking about it since becoming engaged. I have been obsessed with wedding magazine and offbeat bride for about 6 months so I have ideas. I just don't know what I want.
Right now I just want anything that will look good on me. So I'm putting my game face on and I'm prepared to make myself a piece of meat to these Wedding Vendors. And I'm finding a dress in two days. I will find the one!
