here comes the bride...

i found my wedding dress!! WOOHOO!! i am so happy to get that crossed off of my list, lol!! i think i'm just very lucky (must be the irish!!) because i was able to get everything done so quickly!!

i had heard about a sale at david's bridal, and wasn't too excited because i didn't know about their selection. i went online, found a few i liked, and called to make an appointment. they didn't have any slots available for the next day (who would have thought?!?! ahahahahha!!) but i was put on standby. my mom, auntie, and i arrived right when they opened, and nobody else was there!! i told the lady there which dresses i liked the most, and off we went!!

i think i tried on 6 in total, but really only liked a few before i tried them on. the second one fit perfectly and that was that!! there are no alterations needed, and i found the one that made me the happiest for an amazing price. luckily by the time we were done, tons of girls were there and it was just beginning to become a madhouse. i can see how stressful dress shopping could be, but i'm so pleased that i was able to go in and out so quickly and be incredibly happy with what i found.

since james reads this blog, i am not going to link the dress, but i can let you know which one it is if you contact me. it feels so great to know that i have the perfect dress for me, and that i get to wear it twice!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!! :)

and happy st. patrick's day!! luckily i get corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes at lunch so i won't have to cook that up tonight. geez, i sound like the laziest girl, don't i?? update: they also served beef and guinness stew with car bomb sundaes for dessert. nope, don't have the time to cook those either!! luckily everything came on super small plates, so it really was just a bite or two of food. the corned beef was so tender, with a great cream sauce with harp lager over a few pieces of cabbage. DE-lish!!
