It has been quite the year for weddings! From June to November, we had 8 weddings to attend! Now that’s a lot of weddings in 6 month’s time!
New Year’s Day of last year, our oldest daughter, Chelsey got engaged to Jason! We had a great time planning and getting ready for their Labor Day weekend wedding!
This year is stacking up to be another year of frequent weddings!
Just before Christmas, our middle daughter, Nichole, aka Cozie, got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Chase! Another wedding in our family this year!
They have set a date for a 10-10-15 wedding (easy to remember, eh?) so the planning has begun!
Twice now I have been invited to go with her and her bridesmaids dress shopping. It’s been lots of fun as she decides what appeals to her and what doesn’t.
The first time we went shopping, she fell in love with the first dress she tried on. And fell in love with the second dress! And the third one she loved more than the first and second!
I thought for sure whichever dress she tried on last was destined to be the one!
She had vowed not to “Say YES to the dress” this round of shopping so we switched gears and the bridesmaids got to try on some of her picks for their dresses.
Then one night last week we traveled to another nearby dress shop to see what else was available. Road trip! We had all the ladies in the wedding party along and had a great time!
Cozie went down the whole wall of dresses and pulled out several she thought she would try on. Then into the dressing room she went!
The first dress she came out in… well, you could tell she just didn’t love it. The next dress had her so twisted up we thought she’d never come out of the dressing room! She was laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up straight on the pedestal to get a picture!
Another dress she tried on, she couldn’t stop holding onto the top of it! Oh did we laugh!!!!
She was almost to the end of the ones she picked out, when Holly the owner, brought one more in.
And this time when Cozie walked out of the dressing room, we knew it was “the one.” Her eyes welled up and she was biting her lip and she said “This is it! This is the one!”
🙂
She lit up with pride as she turned in the mirror to admire all sides of it. It fit almost perfectly and was a beautiful choice!
Of course, I can’t show you what her dress looks like. But take my word for it, she will be one beautiful bride as she walks down the aisle in that dress!
After Cozie had made her final decision, the girls had a great time trying on all of the bridesmaid dress styles that were available… and ohhhhhhhhh did we laugh!
Throughout the night I just couldn’t get over how much the dress shop owner and Cozie looked alike! It was like they were mother and daughter!
She did a great job for us and it was a great experience.
We ended the night sharing a meal at Johnson’s.
What a great time we had picking out dresses! And now… on to decorations 🙂
