Check, check, check!

If someone would've told me years ago, that one day I would be going to a bridal store and trying on beautiful wedding dresses, I probably would have laughed in their face. Ive never been the girl that dreams about weddings, or being the princess for the day. In fact, up until Rony actually proposing, I thought we would fly off to Vegas when the time came to get married! 

However, yesterday I had an appointment at a bridal store to try on some wedding dresses. I went with 3 of my good friends/Bridesmaids, which I think made the moment so much easier for me. As I walked into the store, I immediately felt overwhelmed. My friend Natalin asked me if I was nervous, to which I simply replied "yes", as I secretly tried not to have a panic attack. So many dresses...so much tulle...so many options! I would just like to add, I am the WORST at making decisions. Something as simple as what to have for dinner becomes an issue for me. Thankfully, with the help of my bridal consultant, Brooke, and my amazing bridesmaids, I found my perfect dress. Its everything I wanted and more, and as embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I may or may not have called Rony gushing about it as soon as we left the store, lol. Now I just need to find a good hiding place for my dress once it comes in, because Rony has been trying to figure out what it looks like! 

After we found my dress, The girls and I headed to the mall and found the perfect bridesmaids dresses! I am so glad they found dresses that were affordable and beautiful at the same time! I also ran over to the wedding venue and put the deposit for our wedding date, which means whether we like it or not, Rony and I will be getting married in April! On top of all the wedding excitement, I am officially done with finals for the semester! I'm not sure what I was more excited about, finals being officially over, or finding my wedding dress! 

The wedding is slowly but surely coming along...and we are very grateful for all the help from our friends. Now that things are falling into place, we are more anxious to share our special day with our family and friends!
