Third time = the lucky charm! We found the dress today at Hitched! My mom, Joey, and I first went to a place in Old Town Alexandra and found a few fancy (as our dear friend Drew would say) dresses but despite having an appointment we were very rushed by the bridal consultant and we ended up leaving empty handed. Since we had plenty of time until our next appointment, we stopped for lunch at a little Greek restaurant for a few laughs and to feel like we were eating at the restaurant from the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Then we went in to Georgetown/D.C. and had an AMAZING appointment at Hitched. Everyone that worked there was so helpful and friendly. I had found a dress that I liked online and we went to Hitched because they were the only place that had the designer that I was looking for. It also ended up that the designer was having a trunk show so I got to try on dresses right off the runway!!! Man are those models skinny!! I was able to put on the dresses but they were snug. However, I ended up loving the original dress that I had gone in there to see. Of course I knew it was the dress after crying :) I must have tried on about 50 dresses over this past week and this dress was the only one that brought tears to my eyes...that or they were tears of shock over the price. I was told it was "the Mercedes of wedding gown fabric" by the Amsale representative LOL! I put my down payment down and the dress is being ordered!!! It is an Amsale dress...which is a little ironic because the first movie Will and I ever saw together was the movie "The Hangover" and in the movie the bride is wearing an Amsale dress. Must be meant to be ;) I can't wait to wear the dress on the big day!

Overall, one very successful day!!
