Wedding Dress!

Posted Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:52 AM

I spent the last week trying different wedding dresses.  Kelsey Nystul (one of my bridesmaids) went over to Portland with me on Sunday and we visited two bridal shops and a possible ceremony/reception site.  The dresses at these places were incredible and it was so hard to pick.  Everyone always told me that once I put the right one on I would KNOW...but it was a little harder then that.  By the end, I knew I had found one that I really love, but that Jeff would love as well.  I made the mistake of looking through a magazine with Jeff last week and he was showing me dresses he likes and dislikes.  That just made me worry more while I was trying on dresses.  I know he'll love the one I picked.  We found it at Ana's Bridal in Lake Oswego.  I called Traci (Jeff's older sister) and she was able to come by to see "the one."  It was really nice to have her there as well as my mom and Karen Bates!  Thanks to all who were there supporting me!

 As for the location, we looked at Beckenridge Vinyard in Dallas, OR.  It was really really great, so Jeff and I will be trying to make a decision on where the wedding is going to be this week.  We are really wanting to get married on September 20th and that is the only Saturday they still have available in September.  The other facility we are looking at is in Redmond.  I will let you all know when we get this other big detail figured out.
