We. Have. A. Dress.
An amazing, one of a kind, has Shawna all over it, kind of dress. It took hours of internet browsing, piles of wedding magazines, ten bridal salons and dozens and dozens of dresses to land it, but folks we did it. It helped to have 4 of her attendants along to confirm, but this is really the one, or atleast the one we're going with. It was a dress we haven't seen before and one she had never tried on, so that was neat. Shawna just isn't an expressive personality in situations like this and she looked like she was going to cry in frustration at one point. Almost every dress she tried on was meant for her. Tall, thin, dark skinned, beautiful. She could pull off a gunny sack. So of course, she's going to have trouble choosing. I felt badly that she found one yesterday she really did like, we all did, until I discovered the price I had seen was just for the top, and the skirt doubled the price. Welcome to high fashion. This dress we decided on combines qualities of everything we've been looking for and she will float down that aisle. Amazing.
All brides are amazing. They just are. And they come in all shapes and sizes and personalities. The one I brought into the world happens to be one of the most physically beautiful girls I've ever laid eyes on, and in her quiet way is one beautiful girl inside as well. For someone who can pull off just about any fashion trend with flair and has a "look" that anyone who knows her understands, it was hard to find a dress that wasn't just elegant, wasn't just beautiful, wasn't just bridal. It had to be "Shawna", and I think this one is.
Once she took a breath and let the days activities settle a bit, she said she really, really likes the dress. She also likes 2 or 3 we left behind and several we had not located as yet :) This is my girl. If we could have justified one for the ceremony, one for pictures and one for the reception, she would be a happy girl. Lol. I think she should look into modeling for some bridal magazines.
We have a couple ideas for dresses for the attendants but we have much to do. Colors. Styles. Shoes. Tuxes.
I had a blast watching all the girls exit the dressing rooms with attitude to spare and lots of giggles. Lots and lots of giggles. And goodness are these girls gorgeous. And single. Watch out!
We had a really great time. Lots of pictures, lots of catching up, lots of laughs. My heart is full. And a stop at Bahama Breeze makes my day anytime! Shawna has really been blessed to have such great friends in her life. They all love her a lot, I know. And she loves them. This is simply going to be a great time.
Wait till you see this dress...
