The Dress has FINALLY arrived!

So....after 8 months, my dress finally came in. I'm so excited and I couldn't wait to see her.
I drove to Wedding Angels to try on my dress for the very first time. As soon as I laid eyes on her, I remembered why I made the decision and I was so VERY happy to put her on. Standing on that platform and looking in the mirror, it became real. This is totally happening. I'm a bride!
I can't wait!
So, after trying my dress on, I decided that I would need to alter it just a bit. Thankfully the hem was perfect and the only alteration needed (wanted actually) is a corset. Yay! I get to have the best of both worlds.
I am absolutely in love with my dress. I love the soft ivory color, the gathers of the skirt and they beautifully beaded bodice. I was so worried that after 8 months and a total submersion in the "wedding world", I would somehow end up not liking my dress as much as I did when I first found it. I know it sounds quite silly, especially since I was the never the girl who dreamed of her wedding dress, but I actually cared. It shifted in my mind as what I would remember wearing the day I married my best friend.
