The Metz's: Show Us Your Life ~ Wedding Dress

One of the blogs I like to follow is Kelly's Korner. She's been doing a tour of homes each Friday, whiech sadly I wasn't able to participate in, because we were still in the process of building our home. But it was a great way to look at rooms and get ideas! And you will all get a look at our new home soon. We are almost done, and having a housewarming party this weekend, so I'll post more pictures after that...I don't want to give too much away too soon! :-)

Anyways, she finished with tour of homes and has moved on to Show Us Your Life, so I thought it would be fun to participate this week...This week is show us your wedding dress.

The first time I saw my wedding dress was before my husband and I were even engaged. I was with my roommates in college shopping for one of their wedding gowns and our bridesmaid dresses, and we walked in the store and on a mannequin, there it was. It took my breath away! "That's my wedding dress, " I said. "Really? They said, "Try it on." I refused to try it on then, but several months down the road when we got engaged, it remained on my mind. I went to many different places to look and tried on countless gowns, but in the end, this one still one my heart. All my friends and family said it looked just like me.

I found my dress at David's Bridal, it was part of the Oleg Cassini collection, who actually designed much of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's wardrobe while she was in the White House!

I loved it the first day I saw it, the day I tried it on, the day I wore it down the aisle to marry my best friend, and still today...To me it was elegant, classic, and timeless!
