mellybrellyYesterday after work I met Katrina and we went to three stores, trying on bridesmaid dresses. There is no selection in this city. I had one dress on, and Katrina said "after the wedding you could shorten it and wear it again!"
We went for dinner at Fluid again. I had the chicken and artichoke pasta.. had sun-dried tomatoes and fresh tomatoes.. was okay. I liked my pasta better last time, but last time it was a zillion calories with a cream sauce and bacon and chicken and good stuff like that. This was a healthier choice, but just not as tasty ;)
After dinner, off to the theater to see 27 Dresses. We almost died when they laughed about how brides always say that you can shorten the dress and wear it again... cause you'll never wear the dress again... Katrina laughed so hard and told me to smack her if she said it again!
Today I went to Campbell River with her, about an hour or so away from here. We went to church first and then met our friend Layla to go look at more bridesmaid dresses. We found one that I loved and she loved on me, but it was black and they couldn't order it in another colour. The good thing is that we realized I have almost the exact dress in an eggplant kind of colour and Kat might want to go with that. I'm going to go to Nanaimo as well (about an hour and a half away, on an icy day) to look at some more.
After giving up on the bridal shop, we went to a Wedding Fair. Bridal fashion show.. booths of flowers and food and chocolate fountains and lingerie and personal trainers and candles and various other weddingish things. Was fun but long.
Had a few twinging moments of wondering if I would ever get married. Sometimes wish I was 20 again and young enough to just marry blindly, not worrying about what my future held. (don't be offended if you were 20 when you married, please, I just know I would be way less cautious than I am now)
I felt a bit car sick on the ride home and my stomach is still a bit funny.
Even though trying to find dresses is a bit stressful, I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

AND they cost something crazy like $8.00 per person. I'd rather spend the money on alcohol!
