A few weeks ago I was going through a closet and I found a box with my wedding vail in it. At the bottom of the box were these two polaroids of me in my wedding dress. These were taken at Rob's parents house. I have a vague memory of me bringing my dress over to show my mother-in-law. I can't remember who took the photos!
I remember being so excited about this dress and even looking at it now, almost 27 years later, I still love it. I only went out dress shopping one time. My mom and I went to a bridal store called David's Bridal in Dedham, MA.
(A very popular wedding store in my area. I got my bridesmaids dresses there too :)
I tried on 4 dresses. This was the second dress I tried on. The dress cost $300 and I thought it was much too expensive, but my mom convinced me it wasn't and bought it for me.
I loved the neckline and lace sleeves because it reminded me of Cinderella and felt very "fairytale" to me. It was not the type of dress I had in mind for myself that day, but as soon as I tried it on I knew it was for me.
Because of the dress, we I picked invitations that had a horse & carriage on them, very reminiscent of Cinderella's pumpkin coach.
We also went to Disney World for our honeymoon ♥
Rob and I always say now if we had to do it all over again we would do things a lot different. Much smaller and simpler. Just grab a few friends and some family and go out to dinner. I definitely still think that, but the one thing I would miss would be the dress. A girl doesn't get that many opportunities to be Cinderella ♥
