The following post is about my wedding planning experience. This blog not only serves as a place to show of my most recent work but also as my personal journal where I talk about my life and share my experiences with friends, family and anybody else who wants to read it. I added a new category where I will be adding to the planning it’s called MY WEDDING. Feel free to skip if you aren’t interested!

Right after getting engaged I knew certain things had to be done right away. Things like securing the church and venue. We also signed the contract for the music. Still with more than a year to go I thought I would pace myself and just get the big things out of the way.
Even though we still had plenty of time there was one thing I really wanted to do…I wanted to look for the perfect dress. I started shopping around in June and went to a couple of places here in town and even some in Monterrey. To tell you the truth after looking and seeing some beautiful gowns and not being able to choose I was overwhelmed with the experience and I didn’t want to choose just anything. There were a couple that sparked my interest. I even joked by saying I loved three dresses and needed three weddings to wear them all…kidding all the way.
So after being undecided I took a step back and just took a break from searching for it. I had seen them all and tried on what I thought was what I wanted. From trumpet to mermaid, from fit and flare to ball gowns. I thought I would try them even though I had a picture in mind that I thought was what I wanted.
After a much needed break of about two months I went back to Ventura’s Bridal where Natalie was so patient with me while I looked through the hundreds of dresses. I picked out a few of the new arrivals and one that I had tried on before that I kept thinking about but I wanted to make sure of.
I remember putting on the dress and getting this rush of feelings and emotions. I stepped outside and saw myself on the full length mirror and just thinking to myself that the dress was gorgeous and how I couldn’t wait for Pepe to see me in it. It’s like I just knew.
I still tried on the other dresses we had picked out that day but none compared after having tried on that little gem. To make sure, I tried it back on and didn’t want to take it off. What a wonderful feeling!!! I was so excited I called Pepe and told him I had picked out the dress, “Oh yeah!” was his answer.
Oh Yeah!! I sure did find it!!
