I found a picture online of a normal size women wearing this David's Bridal dress. It's cute, but it definitely looks better on the model. That's true for any dress though! :)

I love these two prints for bridesmaid dresses!

Lance and I are engaged!!!

Lance proposed to me on Friday, May 7th, 2010. It was a complete surprise! When I came home after work on Friday, Lance was waiting on one knee with my favorite song playing in the background (Whatever it is by the Zac Brown Band). This will be our "first dance" song at our wedding reception. I won this disagreement!! :)

Dress Shopping!!!!

I will be going wedding dress shopping for the first time on Memorial Day Weekend when Lance and I take a trip to Atlanta. We aren't officially engaged yet, but we will be before Memorial Day Weekend!! :) I am going to go with Lance's mom, Kim, and my good friend, Erin, from Montgomery.

I have been stalking a Mon Cheri Dress called Alice for the last couple of months and it will be my chance to try it on. (Didn't want to post a picture of the dress just in case Lance reads my blog)
