I went into DB and they had my original pick... but after trying on 50 other dresses (literally), I ended up narrowing it down to 3... then 2... then after an hour of trying on different veils with each dress that were complete opposites of each other, I decided. It was harder than I thought.
I always thought those weeny brides on say yes to the dress saying "I can't choose, I can't choose..." were dumb. But it's the truth, it was one of the hardest decision I ever made. Especially since they were both non-returnable.
Like I said, the two dresses were complete opposites, yet both were "me".
But one had something about it... when I first put it on I wanted to cry. I never did cry, which I'm still surprised about. A lump in my throat was as far as it got.
And I don't believe in signs or anything, but when I put the dress on for the second or third time - (trying to decide between the two finalists) the song "This Will Be" from Natalie Cole came over the speakers. I just told my mom a few days before I wanted this song on the wedding playlist. That's when I tried the veil on with it and I knew :)
Funny thing was my Mom, Aunt Loey and the DB associate were picking out dresses while I waited in the dressing area. The one time I go out and search the floor I found it, Loey and my mom had overlooked it. I picked out my own dress, it was quite funny.
Really fun experience, I'm surprised I walked out the door with a dress the first time shopping. My dress is perfect and I can't wait to wear it (T-minus 306 days and counting).
