Response Blog #3 Wedding Obsessed

How did I not realize that one of my classmates was writing a blog about weddings?! As you may have figured out, I am engaged to a wonderful man who is my partner in crime in most of my blogging adventures. I have pretty much been in denial about the whole planning of the wedding and instead, concentrated on work and school. Well this weekend, my mom was in town from Texas and we bought a dress! It was just like on one of those shows where the first one I tried on was the one I chose. But how I got to the actual purchase is a bit of a tale.

In her blog, The Wow Factor, Gina writes about how Google can be used to come up with themes and ideas for your wedding. I totally agree, and my first step was to google my way through TONS of websites to find dresses and boutiques. After our initial trip out, I was torn between two dresses at two different places and was bummed because I wasn't allowed to take photos of the first dress and therefore could not remember how pretty it was. The woman helping us at the first boutique said it was an exclusive design. Ha! On a wedding site called One Wed, I found the dress! Well not only did I decide I wanted the dress, but I also decided I did not want to give that dishonest saleswoman my business. I looked at the brand's website and found another boutique, Rosalin's Bridal, that also sells that brand. They didn't have the dress but they are an authorized retailer so they can order it for me. The best part was, I got a GREAT discount on the dress and the service was wonderful. I'm going to have to go in for several fittings and place a lot of trust in them, so honesty is very important to me. Once again, Google saves the day! PS-I will definitely be checking back on The Wow Factor for ideas and advice.

I can't show you a pic of my dress for fear of my fiance seeing it but in honor of their upcoming wedding, here's a pic of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
