My Dress Is HERE!!!

My dress is here,

My dress is hereeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Why am I so excited? Basically, I went against the norm, the bridal magazines, and didn't take anyone's negative advice and ordered my dress online.............FROM eBay. Am I a regular eBay shopper? Nope. Was I hesitant to do this? Of course, but I am so glad I did.

Good ol' mom dukes pulled out that old and worn measuring tape and sized me right on up...and checked herself twice like Santa Claus. Hahahaha! I waited about 4 weeks and when it came back clearly from the pictures below you will see I was thrilled. I went home from work during lunch just so I could hang it up. However, I was in so much disbelief that this was really here, I only halfway took it out of the box. Check out the third picture and you will see just how I left the dress on my bed and went back to work. When I did try it on later that evening, the measurements were to a "t" and the only alterations I'm having done are the same little things I would have changed no matter where I got the dress from.

OMG!

How many girls get to see what their dress looks like before it is nicely hanging on the rack in the bridal stores?

I was in such shock I couldn't even completely unfold the dress. It remained in this state from 12-5pm.

I can't believe this!

Now I love ya'll, but that's all I have for you about this dress!

Big ups to Shanghi!

Shout out Marva, Pam, Holly and Delsey from work who were just as excited as I was and didn't mind if I stayed gone a few extra minutes during lunch that day.
