The wedding is beginning to seem more and more real, especially as I start paying deposits to the various vendors! Today, Ron, Sarah (his daughter), and I went shopping for Bridesmaid dresses. There was a President's Day sale at the store where I had decided to get the dresses...and since Sarah's out of school today, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Too bad Melinda (my daughter-in-law and the other Bridesmaid) couldn't be here - but she lives in Oregon. Anyway, you know how it goes - you know exactly what you're looking for...then you get to the store and it's not at all what you wanted! That's how it was today. I knew exactly what style I wanted for the two girls, but when Sarah tried it on - neither one of us liked it! Hm-mm. So now we start from scratch. I knew the color I wanted (eggplant) and I also had decided I wanted cocktail length dresses ... but other than that, let's see what you've got. Sarah, who would much rather wear her blue jeans and only wears dresses to Prom and Homecoming, was a good sport about trying them on - as long as her Dad stayed away. So, I left Ron up front guarding my purse and going over his part of the guest list. Meanwhile, the sales clerks keep bringing the dresses. Sarah and I have a good time ... and after about seven different styles, and an hour and a half, we finally settle on one. And, hip-hip-hooray - it's also the least expensive! Then it's measuring and paying and we're ready to go! One dress down, another to go - but it's one more thing checked off of my list, so I'm feeling good. I call Melinda with the new style number we've chosen so she can check it out on the website ... Now, we just have to find shoes (Sarah wears a size 12!) ...
