Wedding Dress...

We all know that the bride has to have THE DRESS! You know the perfect dress for the perfect day.

Yes, I had THE DRESS...that story I'll save for my 10 year anniversary post!

The wedding dress I am talking about is the dress I need to find for the upcoming wedding of my brother Chris and his bride-to-be Jody. We are ALL in the wedding, so I've stressed about making sure everything is perfect...right down to the clothes we are wearing to the bridal luncheon and rehearsal dinner...everyone in our family (me and all the boys) have to be color coordinated for pictures. Suffice it to say, I don't think I was this anal about my own wedding!!!



(We all had a hand in making sure this proposal happened as planned! It happened at the Opryland Hotel when Chris and Jody came up for Christmas 2008! Yep, that was me being intrusive and taking pictures of the whole thing as it happened!)


So, I've got my rehearsal dinner dress or it could be the bridal luncheon dress, but I'm still in need of another dress. What is so hard about this. Well, as you will see, I'm a huge fan of Lilly Pulitzer dresses. Not so much a huge fan of the prices. I will only buy these when they are on sale...by this I mean, the sale price is on sale. There in lies my problem. You see...this is the dress I currently have...got it at 60% off...If I do say so myself:
This is the dress I really want to find at a great price and wear to the rehearsal dinner...this way the boys can wear "blueish" colored shirts. Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck finding this on sale and in my price range. Dangit! But, I'm not giving up...


I'll even settle for this one...

or this one...

or this one...


and even this one...my last choice...

It's days like this that I wish we were just made of money...but paying $350 for a dress is absurd! So, I'm still searching. I'm gonna find it, dangit, in my size and the right price!!!

Truly Blessed to a part of such a memorable day for Chris and Jody...trying really hard to make pretty pictures,
Chasity
