It's For Reals

While I still can't show you the dress, you might be happy to know that it has arrived early at Forget Me Knots Bridal in San Francisco. I am to go on Saturday afternoon to try on the dress and see where, if any, alterations are needed. I bought an extra-padded strapless bra but the owner warned me not to take off the tags because it might show in the back. Because my dress has a corset, I should only need maybe some extra pads put into the chest area. Also I ordered it in a petite size so I might need an inch or two, depending on my shoe height, taken off the bottom.

I am excited. In addition to sending out the invitations, this arrival makes the day seem so much closer to happening. With all of the planning thus far, it was like we are just spending money with nothing to show for it. The return of the invite reply postcards make it so, yes, other people are now involved in this event! The wedding dress will be yes, I just spent a small boatload on one dress, so I better wear it somewhere. :-)
