I went to Alfred Angelo today with my mom Aunt Joyce and Katie. I was in a good mood, but wasnt really 'totally excited' like I thought I would be. I have always thought about dress shopping as this amazing experience, but today was almost a let down. I had fun, dont get me wrong, but the dresses were a let down. The fabric was a let down. I guess I just expected more...so this dress was kinda a mermaid and I did like it, until I tried on the others haha! It was actually pretty hot, even though the material was really light.
This was actually the first dress I tried on, one I picked from online. It was AWEFUL haha, and obviously in pictures it looks like a night gown to me. Oh well. Im narrowing it all down.
These arent in order but this is a gown that she brought because it was one of 3 whole halters in the shop. I loved the dress but it was easy to walk away from...it had an organza overlay ontop of the silk, so it had the flow-ey look I was going for.
I really liked this dress, it fit kinda wierd because it was just a bit too big so the clips werent really staying and it kept falling downa bit. It looked alot better in person than it does in this picture!
This dress I think had about a 15 foot train...and Im not a tain fan! I LOVED the bodice, its what made me pick a halter top, but the skirt was just way too much for a boat wedding.

This was the last dress, and it was a favorite for everyone! I liked the fit (it had a higher cut top so it covered my ENTIRE chest, and the boning helped keep everything 'up") the skirt was amazing and I felt great in it. I didnt like the exposed boning but it might be my favorite right now...we shall see what the other shops in Reno brings..
Griffin also helped Jason out alot when he decided to PROPOSE to me :) He gave the ring box to Griff and he took off like he was in a Nascar race, after pryin the box from his lock-jaw, Jason grabbed my hand, told me what I mean to him and asked me to marry him! I, of course, said YES!!
The next day we went out and got a kitty! Dexter is a 7 month of kitten and is shockingly good with Griffin, she just bats at Griff like he just an annoyance. They love to cuddle on the couch with us in the evenings. They just make me so happy! (Now that we are getting sleep haha)
