That does it, I am eloping!

It all started last Saturday when I went and got a bridesmaid's dress for m best friend's wedding. I had to get the dress by myself because everyone is in Iowa. I was thinking this will be fast....HA! I went to David's Bridal, and when I got inside it was like an instant feeling of stress and anxiety poured over me. I looked through the dresses and found the ones I liked and went to try them on and low and behold I had to meet with a consultant before I could try them on. There were a bout 50 people in this tiny little store. Bridesmaids fighting bout what they think looked best, crazy mothers of the bride, a bride and groom fighting, and a bunch of crazy consultants. It was a bit overwhelming to say the least.... Anyways I did find the dress I wanted, and got it ordered and got the heck out of there!

Now, it is very possible that I am over reacting, but I would like to have my wedding day be more than a circus fiasco! When I got in the car the first thing I told Dan was that I am eloping! But I think there is some time before I have to figure all of that out!

It bothers me how much the industry sucked the fun out of the wedding day. That's all I will say about that for now.....

Last night we saw Be Kind and Rewind, it was very funny. I recommend it!
We also saw A Pursuit of Happyness and it was good too, a little depressing though.

I passed my classes last quarter, and I really enjoy my current classes.

Life is good!

Mit,
I like the dress it should look "hot" on you!!
Did you get the winter weather we have been having this month? We are ready for spring and keep waltzing thru the winter.
Have a good week.

That is a gorgeous dress! I agree with you on eloping. I might have a better chance at doing that sooner than an actual wedding! dumb boys!

LOVE the dress you picked out!
David's Bridal is a zoo--when you want to pick out a wedding dress, head to a more "boutique" store, and don't go on the weekend :) Do you watch "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC?

Yeah- weddings can be a little much, but it IS nice to see all your family and friends in the same place... the next time that will likely happen will be at your funeral if you think about it. But just plan the wedding on YOUR terms and stay true to you.

The dress is super cute!
