I….am….an….addict. Yes, I admit it, I am addicted to wedding dress shopping. For almost a full month after getting engaged I did not allow myself to walk into a bridal salon. I knew that mama Elk would be hurt if I began the search without her, and since we were 5 hours apart and I was on my surgery rotation, there was no way we could get together until I was on break from school. When I did finally allow myself to begin the dress search process, I became crazed. I would walk into a bridal salon and in a frenzy rummage the racks. I would pull 3 dresses at a time dragging them in my wake. I did not listen to the advice of consultants. I was manic. I pulled dress after dress onto my body, sausaged into my spanx.
I went to 9 different salons in 3 different cities, some on multiple occasions. I tried on well over 50 dresses, all within a 3 month period. While I never went to a blowout sale, or Kleinfelds for that matter, I feel that Monica sure represents who I was while dress shopping (read-crazy)
PS- don't you just love their version of Kleinfelds? I especially love how few brides are waiting and how unimpressive their version of the store looks!
So, back to my original point- going back through all these pictures of me in dresses is giving me a bit of a complex; I want to go shopping again! Please hive- don’t let me! I MUST NOT GO WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING AGAIN! I have my dress, I love my dress, and soon you will see it and love it too. That is my mantra, and I will repeat it as necessary.
Did you get carried away while dress shopping?
