Gown Shopping

This morning Joey, Robin and I went gown shopping at the only bridal store in Charlottesville. Two hours and 15 dresses later, we felt good about the experience. I found three dresses I really love and all at a relatively good price. It was hard not having Mama here but Robin was paparazzi (120 photos) so we could send her some visual evidence. Here's a picture of my girls before we headed into West Main.

We had so much fun looking through all the gowns. We had help from a lovely woman who had me try on some dresses that she knew I would hate just so I could see what they looked like... (Maybe that's why the count got up to 15!!) When Joey started fading, this little lady below perked her right up. I think it was the laser beam eyes that made her so super-special. (Don't worry, she had an African American friend on the other side of the shop to keep her company).

As happy as I am that we're postponing until next spring, it is REALLY hard not to do everything way in advance. Plus, my gown is the only thing I have to keep secret from Christopher and it is SO hard. I'm excited and want to share all the details with him - but I have to wait for-ev-er. I guess that's what it's all about though. :-)

We have two special birthdays this week so be looking for some VIP posts!!
