Say 'Yes' to the dress!!!

It's official, my wedding dress and reception dress were purchased on Friday!!!! A couple of months ago my Mom and I headed over to OKC to JJ Kelly to look at dresses. I found one I loved, but I could not commit because that would have been too easy. So I continued to shop around. I looked in KC, one place in NYC and around Tulsa. I found a couple I liked in Tulsa but not the way they were, so a lot of alterations would have to take place to make it the dress of my dreams. In my mind, I kept going back to this dress in OKC. So, last Friday my Mom, Heather and I drove to OKC to try it on one more time. Deana, my future MIL, met us there. I tried it on and needless to say...it is the one! Ironic enough, it is the very first dress I tried on! I love it and I can't wait to wear it for our wedding. Since we are getting married in the morning, I am planning on wearing a second dress for the reception and I found it that day too, so 2 more things to check off the list!
Since I am on the topic of wedding talk, an update on planning. Our save the dates have been delayed. We are hoping to get them out asap. We, as in not including Alan, met with the florist in Medford on Thanksgiving. He is more than willing to take a backseat when it comes to flowers, colors, really anything that involves details:) Her name is Margie and she will be making our bouquets. I can't wait to see what she puts together for us. Bridesmaids dresses have been picked and Heather got her dress on Friday. I think they are going to be great and easy to travel with. I love the color too. As much as I am a planner, we are kinda at a standstill until we have an idea how many guests will be attending so we can order everything. Less than 6 months away...crazy!!!!
