What a wondeful experience - 7/30/07

Well- as most people know by now, I'm getting married on August 21st- and well, even though I haven't really thought much about it, Johanna has decided that she does want a wedding dress. So last night, we went and tried on some wedding gowns.

Now let me start this by saying, I've worn a size 32 for a very long time. Probably the last 5 years or so, I've worn this plus size that is usually the largest size in the big girl store, and there were times that even these fit a little too snuggly. I haven't bought many new clothes since my surgery, but most of my friends all know that my clothes are practically hanging off me at times-

Anyway- I knew that the largest size on the wedding store racks was 26- I knew this because when I thought about marrying Johanna 6 years ago, I remember thinking that I might not be able to try on wedding dresses- because they'd have to specially order mine- So last night, I went in hoping and praying that I could at least just try on a 26- and hoping that it would at least fit over me, even if it didn't zip all the way.

Well- to my shock I didn't wear a 26- nope- I wore a 24!! the 26 was too big!! Can you freakin' believe it???? The dress that I chose in the 26, they had to go and try and find in the 24- and luckily it was there. I swear I felt like a little princess!
