Blurb My Brain:
You know what guys? I haven't done a Things We Say in a LONG time. And you know what else? I can't help it! I haven't been out around the general public enough to eavesdrop and find funny things we say.
Yesterday I drove down to my uncle's place to get Pickles fixed. He was being a bad boy and spraying the garage with his oil. So I drove by myself to my uncle's, and it was funny. I realized I'm a big girl now. I not only am allowed to drive 2.5 hours by myself, I actually got to the uncle's place without any serious problems. So yesterday Uncle Mitch and Uncle Gregg fixed Pickles for 5 hours, while Aunt Judy and I talked. It was pretty nice. Then we went to Applebee's, where I had a Mudslide (nom!) and some boneless wings. The wings were a bit too spicy for me, so I was SUPER GLAD I got the Mudslide. Then I realized my cousin was trying to contact me, but we didn't have each others' phone numbers, so she decided to stay in.
This morning I drove back, with no problems, and found out that Mom was at the Laundromat. I needed my laundry done too, since you know, I have been wearing my 5 dress outfits to work for the week. So, I load my hamper into my truck, and drive to the laundromat. It was fun, washing and folding clothes with Mom. And about half way through the laundry, she asked if I wanted to look at wedding dresses today.
YES!
So we got to David's Bridal at 4:30, told them exactly which one I wanted, and a consultant helped find the dress. It was in ivory, which I want my dress to be white, but she said she could order the correct color. So I grabbed that one, and another one which was just gorgeous, and then went to the fitting room. The David's Bridal lady had to help me into my bra (its kind of like a corset), and then tried the first dress on.
It was a strapless A Line dress, with a red design across the boobs, and the red center piece. It was gorgeous, but I figured it kind of looked Prom Dress-y. I am not going to prom, I'm getting married. So then we tried on the second dress, which I had been looking at online for the last several weeks (a satin A line Halter dress with a red sash). It not only fit, but it also looked amazing on. And the WEIRDEST thing happened to me when I was wearing it.
I realized I am legitimately getting married.
I fought back tears as I realized how amazing I am looking in my actual dream wedding dress, and how I'm going to be so beautiful as I pledge eternity to Fiance. Words can't really describe a feeling like that. And before you harp on me, yes I know, I've been engaged for almost a month. But you know what? I don't think that it had actually hit me that I was actually getting married. I think trying on the dress with your mother sitting behind you just flips a switch. I felt different.
Granted, I will probably be hit with a double dose of the Eternity Perfume when the actual dress I ordered comes in, since it will have all the right colors and stuff. But still, it was a pretty fricken magical moment.
