Thanks so much for your sweet anniversary wishes! We're planning to ship our kids off to Mimi's and celebrate together this weekend! I always get questions about my wedding dress, so I thought I'd write out the story here. It's short, and sweet, and serendipitous.
Once upon a time, I was browsing a local thrift store (consignment store? I don't particularly recall). As I sifted through racks in search of bridesmaid dresses, I had no intention of finding a wedding dress- who really ever finds a good one at a thrift store anyway, right? But then I tripped and nearly fell to the floor. As I untangled the wrinkled silk fabric caught around my sandals, I realized I had just stumbled upon the most amazing dress ever. It was nothing like I thought I wanted: there was lace and sequins and embroidery a flare- all of which were things I was adamantly opposed to in a dress- and all of which were staring me in the face now, begging to be worn. And wouldn't you know, it fit like a glove! Just FIFTY bucks and a steamer later, I had a wedding dress. No alterations needed!
