So, let's just start with say that I ordered my dress on Saturday!!! 
It should be in by Christmas, which means I will finally get to try it on where it actually zips up (the sample is 6 sizes too small). I won't start fittings for a year at that point, but it's mine, and the shop is storing it for me.
That said, I will be posting pictures of the first and second runner up dresses (as well as the pics I can find of any other dress I tried on in the last two years), just to show you the journey to 'the dress.'
I also now have a shoe dilemma (thank you, DSW
).
I bought theses lovely little babies in March:
I like them a lot. They are comfortable to walk and stand in, they have a slight heel, and they were strappy. The only thing I didn't like was that the ankle strap isn't as solid to the shoe as I had hoped.
Que, this find:
These, I love! They are just as comfortable (if not more so), and the heel is slightly higher. They also look dressier. Only downside: I ordered them a size too small.
So, thanks to free exchanges, I'll be sending them back for a size up later this week.
I'm still not 100% sure which ones I'm going with, though I'm leaning toward the second pair.
I also scored a sale on favor boxes at Walmart last week. They had boxes of 50 2x2x2 favor boxes on sale for $14. They're normally $19. And, they were in my color! I bought two, and now I have a damn good excuse to keep the at-home reception guest list to 100.
More posts to come!

DF didn't really want to go, instead he wanted to do the Wild Africa Jungle Trek (which I don't want to do) so it should be fun!! Our budget is creeping up too, lol... I've started to cut corners and kind of realize that we should do some special things for us, but we can always come back instead of cramming it all into one trip!! 
I'm going to try and get DF down there before then, but we might not have the financial capability. Oh well. A girl can dream!
don't mind me
