Dress Fittings & Showers!

Why haven't I blogged about this. This should have been the first thing I talked about this week! I don't know where my head was. So, here we go...

I had my very FIRST dress fitting on V-Day. I was so excited to go... but it soon faded when I realized how much alterations are!!! gees! I was also told I needed to wear a bustier... which I wasn't planning on. Now, I had to buy yet something else... oh well... I know it's going to fit like a glove!

The excitement also faded because I am self-conscious in one area of my body. It's nothing I can really change... it is the way I am... uh ummm - you know - the girls :) I was just really blessed and I dont really like it. But, hey God made me this way and I shouldn't complain. But, regardless, I'm self-conscious and kept thinking that it showed to much and I didn't like it. So, I was a little frustated about that.

I hope that when I go next (March 7) that I will feel a lot better about it all! I love my dress - don't get me wrong... just wish my body worked the way I wanted it to (up there) :)

Ok - enough of that nonsense.

Our church has planned us a shower - my very FIRST shower - for March 29th! I CANNOT WAIT!

We're meeting with a possible DJ tomorrow - I really hope it works out.

In 3 weekends I think (the same weekend I do my next fitting) we're going to have the men measure for tuxes - that's exciting! we'll probably also do a tasting soon and block rooms for OOT guests.

I'm also working on invitation wording for our invitations and should get those MARCH 10th - it is coming ladies!!! AHHH!

So, here's where I'm at:
- Feb. 18: send invitation wording
- Feb 19: DJ meeting
- March 7: fitting
- March 7: tuxes
- March 7/8: tasting
- March 7/8: block OOT guest rooms at hotel
- March 10: receive invitations!
- March 29: Shower
- April 4: Bridal Portraits!!!!

I need to look for a "going-away" dress while I'm at it :)

I'll leave you with this:

Yay for your first dress fitting and first shower! Alteration pricings are outrageous. I had to get my bridesmaid dress altered and ummm...how much again. Luckily mom knows a great seamtress who can alter it for half the price.

Yay! How fun! Is there anything your seamstress can do to minimize the "girls" to make you feel more comfortable? Whatever the expense, I think you'll be very excited if you feel more comfortable that day!

You are on a roll!
