I had a very busy weekend. So I am here now to update.

My mom, and sisters came down on Friday to make our first round of dress shopping. We had an appt with Jenni's Bridal at 10, then David's Bridal at 12:30 and then Mestads at 4. When we went to Jenni's they were SOOOO friendly, and made me feel really comfortable. We went through there selections and picked out dresses I thought I would like. I didnt want to try on any dresses over my budget which was $500. My sisters went to the discontinued dress and they found ones I thouht I would like. Our associate that was helping us was Michelle, who was AWESOME!!! I started trying on the discontinued dress, the first 2 were to small so we just took them off right away. We then put one on. When she was lacing it up I was like this is totally the dress (not even seeing how it looked on me) I went out and showed my sisters and mom, and I saw myself and I LOVE it!!! I knew this one was the one! My mom even teared up a little. So we went on and tried on about 10 more dresses or more and nothing compared to that first one I tried on. After my appt was done at Jenni's I knew I wanted that first dress, the only thing was that it was as discontinued dress and they normally dont hold it, but we got the boss to hold it for us for 2 hours while we went to David's Bridal and tried on my dresses, I just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision.

So we went to our appt at David's Bridal, and the women that helped us was a bitch to begin with. The I met the associate, Shannon, and she was kind of snobby. Oh well I didnt try to let it bother me. They pick out all the dresses they thought I would like. I really didnt like this way, she either picked out dresses that were WAY beaded or WAY not beading. One extreme to the other. The more I was trying to tell her what I was thinking she got more and more bitchy towards me. And with every dress I tried on I didnt like it as much as that first dress! :) So after we were done with our appt at David's I wanted to go back and pay for MY dress. haha
We went back to Jenni's and I asked if I could try it on one more time to just to make sure. I slipped right into it and I absoultly knew that was the dress that was for me. The best part of loving that dress is that it was only $199 for a Maggie Sottero!! :) So I got my credit card and bought it. I ended up just canceling the appt at Mestads. We went to eat and came back and tried on Bridesmaids dresses and Mother Dresses.

We decided we are going with a tea length dress for sure or the BM, but nothing is set which dress is the one we are going with. I just know we are NOT going through David's Bridal. So come back to see if we made a decision yet. My mom really didnt find anything she liked at Jennis.

Britt decided to go to the tractor/truck pull with David and I at the fair after dress shopping. We had a good time. We ended up getting home around 1am.

So we got up on Saturday and went to another dress shop to just go BM dress shopping and Mother Dress Shopping. We found a BM dress but we were going to take the buttons off and make shorter all of this stuff to it. (But I ended up going online and finding a tea lengetht dress in the same designer, I will have to cal Jenni's and see if they have it) and my mom found the dress she thinks she is going to buy. So we got a lot done there also! :) I actually ended up getting into my dress while we were there to see what it would look like with our BM and Mothers Dresses. And the girl found out how much I paid for the dress and was totally nit-picking everythin about it. I think she was upset that I got it for so cheap! Screw her! I have also decided we are NOT going to our BM dresses through her. She was to mean to me.

Over all I loved Jenni's and would totally recommend them to anyone. I was VERY VERY VERY VERY impressed! I will be getting a picture up of my dress under "brides attire" soon.
