It is the month of June, the kick off to wedding season. I love weddings, dresses, the cake and all of the details that are involved.
The day that Jason and I got married June 9, 2007 was a great day. Yes, there were problems uh-hem a peach cake ( no- not by choice ). But most enjoyable to say the least.
I do have one regret and that is my dress. When I started looking at dresses I had a vision ( I think we all do). Well mine happened to be an 8,000$ vision. A beautiful Monique Lhuillier gown. I am talking an Italian lace bolero with the most beautiful cream satin pick-up skirt. And to top it off a rich cream satin sash with an antique broach.
Yeah- this didn't happen.
So my search was on to recreate this look. It was no easy task, and in the end I had three wedding dresses on my hands ( but I did wear two of them).
Now thinking back I almost wish that I would have splurged and went for the designer gown. Jason and I talked about this gown ( alot) he even offered to pay for it ( that didn't seem right for me). But it made even less sense that I, the social worker at a non-profit organization, recently out of grad school drive my butt to Chicago and purchase this fancy dress. So as all budget conscious people do I improvised.
I will share this impostor, but for now I leave you with the goods.
