this weekend was FULL of good {wedding} things... by sunday night i was exhausted.
despite a rough first appointment (at bellas bridesmaids) i had two other dress appointments at nicole miller and jenny yoo on saturday with v helpful consultants.
trying on wedding dresses for the first time was pretty surreal...especially when they 'jacked you up' with the veil.
taking a break from wedding-palooza stuff to have dinner with h's cousins (deep dish pizza!)
sunday morning engagement photos!
our photographer, dawn was fantastic to work with and i cannot wait to see the final photos.

round 2 of dress shopping with my bridesmaids.
my ahmazing bridal consultant jessica at jcrew bridal on michigan avenue.
after trying on about 40 gowns...finding THE dress!!!
seeing my mom and grandma get excited when i came out in the dress.
seeing my best friend tear up when i came out...which made me tear up.
finding out that the dress is $1,400+ UNDER my budget. -- can you say shoes, jewelry and a sweet veil?!
seeing my bridesmaids in their dresses--they managed to find the perfect styles for their bodies and they looked fantastic!
booking our honeymoon flights!!! paris + amsterdam we'll be seeing you next july!

So many things to talk about obviously...
1. I will be anxiously waiting to see your E photos. Anxiously.
2. Is it weird that I want to go wedding dress shopping? I'm not engaged. Or close to be. But it sounds like just a bushel of fun.
3. Can I come to paris with you? That's not weird, right?
This made me tear up reading it! Awww.
