I went down to J and B Bridals in Chambersburg with the intention of buying a dress. I had told the salesgirl on the phone some of the dresses I liked-Maggie Sottero designs-Beatrice, Malina and Presca. Of course, they didn't have any of those. :( But here's a picture of me in the Beatrice. (I think.) But they pulled some other dresses that were similar.
About six dresses had been pulled including one that I had been pinning (or at least one very similar) for like forever. I was pretty excited about it. But I was pretty excited about the first one I tried on too...even if the flowers on it looks cheesy when on the rack. There were multiple retryons between a couple of dresses. Ultimately, I decided on the dress that I had always wanted. Now, I have to lose about 10 pounds to look perfect in it. (I think I can do it!) There is no way I can wear a girdle because it has a low and completely open back. And the dress was super expensive...you only have that first wedding once right?
In other wedding news, I've been e-mailing caterers and photographers to get estimates and ideas of costs. Its not going well. As in, its going to be a lot more expensive than orginally planned or thought. I hope to meet with a couple of people on Tuesday. Maybe the florist (which actually will be cheaper than thought!) too. Its hard to budget when you don't have a budget. My family is not helping at all any more. I suppose its a stand my mom is taking to be a bitch. I haven't come out and confronted her but I just can't. I've dropped the biggest hints possible.
I keep hoping that Joe will be a secret millionaire. He having lived frugally for years to gain my trust and true love will one day reveal to me his unimaginable wealth. With which I can pay for my dream wedding (instead of going into debt over it like I am currently doing) and buy a house.
Buying a house is something I really want to do but it seems impossible. How can you save when you are sometimes pushing to make ends meet? Yet, make to much money for USDA assistance? Its a bad position for the middle class. I blame the government for getting us into a mess that now penalizes those that work hard. They were too free with money and now in tightening up regulations, they have choked the middle class.
I just want a home. Like this one. I could make it very homey and cute. Most importantly, it would be OURS.
