Have you bought it?

That's the question I get more often now from some of my classmates. They want to know if I have gotten the dress yet. No, not yet. Then of course, the next comment is usually what follows: "(gasp!), you only got xx months. You have to get the dress now!" I know I know! But there's a reason why I don't have it yet.





A bit of history for you: I wanted to get my wedding dress way in advance. Before we got engaged, I thought I would want a big poofy dress from David's Bridal. Then, when we decided on a destination wedding, I knew I wanted a form fitting dress. Well, okay. Not that form fitting. I do have chubs afterall. haha. So, a few months ago, my mom, my sister, my cousin-in-law and I went to go dress shopping. I think we went in November. I just wanted to get an idea of what would look good on me. We spent a few hours and I loved the look of Sarah Danielle dress on me. I told the lady at the store that we'll be back in a few months. She suggested that I give about 8 months to get the dress. I said, oh okay. We'll be back.

Here's a picture of me in Sarah Danielle 5348

Well, it's February. Do you think we've gone back? NOPE!! I haven't gone back because I'm very hesitant to try on the dresses. Not because I don't want to try them on but it's because I got cooties. Yeap..I got cooties on my neck, my stomach, my back, my legs and on and on. It's EVERY where!! And it's disgusting. I hate it. Okay, the technical term is not cooties. It's called "Pityriasis Rosea". It started on my stomach and then it started to spread like wild fire on my body. I have no idea what the etiology is or what triggers it to spread or anything. And I asked my dermatologist and she said they don't know much about this disease either. What's the point of being a doctor if you can't even my questions?! UGH!!





So because of my cooties, I haven't gotten a chance to try on any dresses lately. But because it's already February, I now feel more stress to get the dress.





I should also mention that because I want my mom, my sister, and my cousin-in-law to be there, I've been trying to plan my dress shopping date around their schedule. It's kind of hard since I also have to plan around my school schedule too. I cancelled on David's Bridal twice. Okay okay. They weren't even cancelled....they were simply forgotten, TWICE. =) Third time's the charm. (Let's hope so.)
