Got the place, got the dress, got the groom!

On January 10, I visited a tiny dress shop in Fort Collins with mom and sister in tow. It didn't take long for us to start rummaging through the racks of beautiful gowns and to get a sizable pile to start trying on! I tried on several dresses that day, but there was definitely one that caught everyone's eye. That special dress was put aside at first as I continued trying on gowns of all different styles, lengths, and prices. But I came back to that second dress a second and then a third time. On the third look, with the veil and jewelry in place, a smile came across my face that I just couldn't wipe. I felt like a bride, and I knew I had found my gown. It needs no alteration, it came in well under budget, and it is perfectly suited for an outdoor summer wedding. I'd love to post a picture, but you know the rules!
