I Can't Believe that we are looking at wedding dresses

that was Barry's first comment about the day.... but on the whole we (Celia, Sean, Barry, Bubbie, Ashleigh and Me) had a real learning experience.

First Buying wedding dresses takes an appointment.... luckily they had an opening at 1:00 so we took it. Next there are forms to fill out oooohhhhh are there forms I'm really surprised they didn't start to ask for blood type. However they do know everything about the who, how many and how old for the bridal party (we changed the names to protect the players). the next requirement was a comfortable sofa. Sean and Barry were content to accept the job of sofa warmer.

We saw many...and I mean many dresses... Celia has a fondness for strapless simple dresses. Ones that don't require to many people to get in to. O.k. so she found out that, it was not going to happen that way. The next step was trying them all on. But the bridal store (which I have to say was great, David's Bridal) did not want to leave anything to the imagination... so we had the
proper bra and slip to use when trying it all on. But they didn't stop there after we put on a dress we had to do the veil. And I mean veil... the first one was all the way down to the floor and longer than the train of the dress. And there there was the front part of the veil (called a blusher) and another layer just because ... but she was all veiled. and then there were the bouquets you could hold just to see how it would look.






It is one of those experiences that you have to go through with every bride... but we still have time to keep looking. But we can not forget the brides maid dressed.... and all of you brides maids need to thank Ashleigh for being the model for all of these dresses.



We tried on a lot of dresses o.k. Celia and Ashleigh tried on the dresses (the rest of the we sat backed and watched, and laugh, and commented when they could have stayed quite. But hey ... there were a lot of dresses to look at ... so Ash did what any good sister would do. Tried on the dresses and make comedy schtick
