After Big Daddy asked me to marry him, I did what many new brides-to-be often do. I began buying and reading every bridal magazine I could get my hands on.
Then I saw it, the dress I had to have. It was only available at one store…in New York City.
The bridal consultant that greeted me that morning was prepared for a day of trying on gowns. She peppered me with questions geared towards helping her select several dresses for me to try on, and I was irritated. I just wanted to try on my dress. The dress. Why was she now asking me all these questions? Did they no longer have my dress?
“Yes, you’ll try that one on too but we have many others and I need to narrow down your preferences first.” She told me, somewhat exasperated by my unwillingness to yield to her bridal expertise.
Not being particularly confrontational I let her have her way, but I made sure I tried on the dress I wanted FIRST….and then I told a very shocked and grouchy bridal consultant, “I’ll take it. This is the dress I want.”
And it was.
And it still is.
If I am remarrying the same man I fell in love with, 10 years and 4 children ago, I’m going to do it in the same dress I fell in love with too.
Hopefully.

Good for you…it's a gorgeous dress!!!
God, I'd need a crowbar to get me into my wedding dress now! Oh, and a really great dry cleaner as I never preserved it or got it cleaned after the big day!
It's absolutely beautiful.
I loved the very first dress that I tried on and all others paled in comparison after that one. So, I went with the first one. 🙂
I love your dress. You made a beautiful bride and I am sure you will again. Congrats on 10 years. I am going on 23…and 4 kids.
Awe… what a love story!the beautiful dress and the handsome man story!
Beautiful dress!!
I would definately wear that again too.
That is a perfect dress to get married in again! I have been married for almost 2 years but can't wait till I can say I've been married for 10! Congrats! Ur blog is lovely! Please visit mine: tikislove.blogspot.com
I LOVE that dress. I would have told that lady wear to go! Or gone with someone else so they could get the commision.
I love the detail on the back of that dress. Gorgeous!
While I loved my wedding dress, I really don't see myself ever wearing it again. It had a ton of tulle so maybe a granddaughter (one day waaaay down the road) will want to wear it? Or at least cut it up to make a veil?
My dress was the second one I tried on and one that my mom picked out. I really didn't care about my dress at the time. I just wanted to get the irritating details and planning over with and be married. There are so many beautiful choices out there nowadays.
Good heavens, that's GORGEOUS!
