the big day (our way)...: The Ring, The Date, The Venue and then of course, THE DRESS!

So...one might not think that I am a super traditional- modern-romantic type, but I am...to the T actually- and couldn't really imagine my (our) big day other than anything predicted in my little fantasy (OK, so not bridezilla or anything but, in a sweet way)...including everything from the perfect partner to of course, the perfect dress! I had some expectations in mind for my wedding day look, but had no idea what anything would look like when I tried it on. I made appointments at every where I felt I should be looking and was advised by fellow brides, and then brought my girls along for their valuable opinions...so the adventure begins!

I went round and round with different looks and everyone's opinions, when finally I decided this may be something that I need to do on my own-to know my choices and weigh the opinions. I decided that after tirelessly looking I would just go back to where I started but, doing it all my way this time. Caroline DeVillo, here I come...

When I walked in, I felt like I was on a mission...telling Caroline (herself, of course) everything I could think of that would help her guide me to the right dress. She swiftly had some things in mind to try-and although we had already done this before, it felt right this time. After only a few more dresses we found the right one-a prototype we can custom tailor with all the quirky details I love and of course the one detail I can't live without...pockets! It was easy the day I found my dress, I suppose it's because I did it my way..
