The Dress - DONE!

I know, one would expect that this would have taken a long time. After all, the dress is a critical part of any wedding. As a bride you want to look as beautiful as you ever have on your wedding day. For me it has been even more stressful. Not many women have had as many opportunities as I have to wear fancy dresses. With my auctionoeering and emceeing jobs, I have a closet full of beautiful formal dresses, which many of my friends have seen me in. That meant I had to find something that would totally blow them away and make them forget every dress they had seen before. Well, I think I found it. And I am so excited, I had to post it! SCREW TRADITION! Here it is!
So....what do you think? I saw this picture and I KNEW that was the dress! I really didn't want a traditional veil, and I wanted something that would appropriate outdoors. I found this on the internet and I KNEW it was the one for me.




There were a couple of runner ups, which I am also posting. There was this one, which had a nice Latin flavor that I liked....



My friend David offered to buy me the boobs that I would need to go with it, which I though was very generous. But he is already going to buy us a plasma screen tv for a wedding present and I didn't want to take advantage.





Then there was this one, which I called the "cloud" dress. This is because my friend Betsy pointed out that the photo makes it look like she is floating. I really liked the whole transparent feature in the middle of the corset style part of the dress. You get to show a little skin, but not really. The addition of the train in the back really makes it classy, don't you think?
Anyway, I just can't wait to put on my Celine Dionne headpiece and greet Grant at end of the aisle. I will feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! (Well, the most beautiful bride Posing as a Klingon in battle regalia.)
