THE WAY FOR THE WEDDING DRESS

Here I am,

I want to tell you how I managed to find my perfect wedding dress. The first store in which I entered, not knowing any shops here in Chicago, was where my cousin also visited for her dress and where, in fact, she bought her dress. Actually, if I think about it, there was a store before this, where I liked the first dress that I tried and it was this one pictured below. But of course I did not want to dwell on the first.

Now, back to that other shop...me and my cousin went together in search of my wedding dress. I must have tried a million wedding dresses, believing them all to be spectacular, but it felt more and more confusing the more I tried.

I did not know if I liked the princess style or mermaid. Let's face it, I did not feel like a princess but a WOMAN. The problem with the princess style was that it made me appear taller. The mermaid was not perfect either: it accentuated my body way too much.

After discovering that the owner of the shop was Italian, and speaking with her in Italian, you know what she told me? "Ah you come from Italy, then you have to buy the dress here, you just have to, and I will make you any discount you want." Honestly, at first, it made me laugh, but then I realized she was treating me differently just because I spoke Italian.

Another day, I went with my mother-in-law to another store, having also heard of other girls who had bought a dress from this store. I was sure to find it here and in fact I found several, but there always seemed to be something missing. So, one by one, I headed over to the dressing room and started trying on dresses.

Some, I liked the back of the dress, others, the material, while others, for the way in which they fell. But I must say that I was excited to try all those dresses. I always watch the TV show, "Say YES to the dress", and finally my moment had arrived too.

But not just yet, I tried more and more dresses!

I really liked this dress (pictured above) but my fiance told me it was nothing impressive so I decided to continue my search.

A new day then came, with it a new partner. I decided to take with me a friend of mine. After doing some online research on fashion and wedding boutiques, we went to David's Bidal.

I was in love with this shop...I thought!!!

I decided to try a dress similar to that of my sister, just for fun.

Then I tried another and I was sure to pick this, but I still had a shop to see that day so I said I'd come back. I liked everything about the dress, belonging to the neckline, the jewelry also made me feel different, but perhaps a little too much, but in my head I thought I had found it, before I went into another shop.

A little, wonderful boutique.

And finally my DRESS...LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT...I know the one I tried was in blush color and I really liked but in the end I decided on white.

And the big day arrived!!!
