Say Yes to the Dress

Sherry said yes to the dress back in October.  The dress, which is AMAZING if she does say so herself (to keep with traditional George has not seen it), was ordered from a website call 'In Wedding Dress'.

You can view the site here, take a stab at which dress it is-

The ordering instruction stated it would take up to 12 weeks to receive.  So she ordered and the dress showed up 2 weeks later, straight from China.  Her dress has traveled farther over the ocean than many people have.  the dress showed up in an envelope...shrink wrapping can work wonders.

Here's the skinny on the dress.  Sherry is frugal.  She finds a dress at David's Bridal, then searches the internet to find destination dresses and finds a dress on the In Wedding Dress site that is similar to the David's Bridal dress.  She was almost set on buying the David's Bridal knock off, but then she finds "THE DRESS" on the site.  She has nothing to benchmark the dress with - at least the one she tried on at David's Bridal was similar to the first dress, but with THE DRESS she has nothing.  However, since the dress was such a steal AND In Wedding Dress site gave her a coupon code to save money...she buys. 

George takes her dress measurements based off of a Your Tube video and some simple drawings on the website:

And the rest is history. 

The dress ended up being a little big at in the waist, but nothing a seamstress can't fix. 

The veil is Sherry's mom's veil, modified for 2012 (her mom got married in 1975 and the veil is 8 feet long with lace and a fancy lace crown).  The only thing left to buy is a garter.

We are definitely moving forward with the planning.
