The Perfect Wedding Dress

When I fell in love with dresses as few months ago, i never envisaged the ultimate dress challenge was around the corner. Like a regular girl, I totally love shopping, but shopping for a wedding dress is definitely an experience.
I started early and learnt from the best, still I have only found a dress I really liked. You don't say.... it was way over my budget. Maybe I have tested a hundred dresses or a little more, I can't say for sure, I just know that I need to take a break. The first bridal place I visited was a joke; the stay does not come with the dress. So they made me wear the stay and attempt to step into the dresses. About fifteen dresses later and four bridal assistants, I was ready to give up on the search. I gave myself a few weeks break and bounced into Klienfeld on a rainy November morning. That was a bad one, my date was way too close to work with, there was somebody fitting for a November 2010 wedding. Thank God I went shopping before going for the appointment. Still happy, life is good.
The third bridal place was not any better either, am I really supposed to make up my mind in one hour? it will not happen. Unfortunately I am one of the few people in this world plagued by extreme indecision. It takes about forty five minutes to decide what's for dinner on a good day. It took me five years to finally make it to Business School.
Back to the dress gist, we moved on to the next place without missing a pulse. Lo and behold, four dresses made it onto my list, all I had to do was think and sleep over them before making my choice. Needless to say, my newly upgraded Fiance managed to throw out the bridal magazine where I noted the reference numbers for my dresses. Do I really need to start looking all over again? Not really, finally traced the dress, it was over our budget anyway.
The hunt for the perfect wedding dress continued.
