I know I am doomed to not find a dress I would love in any kind of reasonable price range. I grew up admiring the European royal families wedding dresses... and wouldn't you know it, they are all done by Valentino. I realize *that* might be a bit far fetched, so I figured I could settle for an Oscar de La Renta... :) And that really doesn't bring the price down by much. I would do it. This is the advice I got recently when getting advice on a diamond... "you would hate the thought of someone else walking around out there with your (diamond/) wedding dress" I realize there might be more than one of these particular dresses... but if you are planning on forever with your man, then this is your one and only opportunity to get that dress. *sorry if I'm not helping* I completely share your childhood past with the dress up, the play dates that consisted of playing wedding with table cloths for veils… and I completely hear you on the Vera.

I remember looking at my mom with tears in my eyes because I knew it just wasn't going to happen. She said, "You know, if you really want that dress, maybe we can find a way to do it." Still, I knew it just wasn't happening... However, I tried on a dress very similar later that day and I still was in dilemma, but the lady from the dress shop did help me quite a bit by giving me some perspective. So I will do the same for you and maybe this will help you. Imagine waking up very early on a January morning, and your mom sits on the end of your bed and tells you to get up because you are getting married today! You get ready to go to Asbury Hall and all of your friends and family members are there helping you to get ready. It is almost time to start and everyone is telling you that you must be the most beautiful bride to ever get married, and that Chris must be the luckiest man on earth today. They tell you it is time to go and you are standing there with the most beautiful flowers, your hair done just right, and everyone you love is in one room... waiting to see you. They open the doors and everything is perfect. You look at Chris and he is smiling from ear to ear... Now what dress are you wearing? Just remember... you get married one time to the love of your life, IF you are lucky enough. Love you bunches! Meg-

Buy it Megan, just buy it! Remember, it's your day and you will feel so great in it. Buy it, you have the rest of your life to pay it off... plus you have like two years before the wedding to start saving... extra time means extra spending, right? It only makes sense!
