This past Sunday I went wedding dress shopping at Laura's Bridal in Plattsburgh, NY with my mom, Brock's mom, Mandy, Tara and Rachel. All I have to say is...what an experience!
I tried on several dresses and veils (some multiple times) of various styles, stepped into different types of lighting to see how it affected the appearance of the dress, and even had the woman helping us remove parts of some dresses to see how they would look without certain accessories. Glowing with happiness and excitement as I tried on each dress followed by tears of fear of choosing the wrong one, I was able to confidently say at the end of the day that I had found "the one". I simply felt beautiful beautiful in my dress. It was exactly what I had envisioned - simple, elegant and one of a kind.
Thanks for everyone's help and support in making this big decision. Hopefully I'll take Brock's breath away when I walk up to the alter to become Mrs. Erica Arnold on September 25, 2009!
