Back to the wedding!
I had chosen my dress, so now I had to choose wardrobe for the ladies who would be standing with me. Now, as we have already discussed, I am a lousy shopper. Now, imagine that multiplied times six, with the Best Woman, bridesmaids, and junior bridesmaid. Yikes. All I knew was that I didn't want something that was too fussy, and I didn't want anything long. I didn't feel like our wedding was an incredibly formal affair, just a nice affair, so I didn't want floor-length dresses. And I wanted dark green. I was really glad that those criteria narrowed things down quite a bit!
I found a couple, but the most economical were at David's Bridal. I had originally thought I might want them to all wear the same dress, but then I decided to have them wear different ones once I saw them in the different styles. It was a better choice. So, there are my girls (minus Katie) in the dresses they tried on to order their dark green bridesmaids dresses. I think it took a total of 15 minutes to get everything figured out. We don't mess around.
Then we walked across the parking lot and ate at Red Robin. Yum.
P.S.--I had decided after I picked my dress that I wasn't going to try to go on some crazy diet before the wedding. I had only given myself five months to get ready, so I decided to just be happy and healthy, take care of myself, and enjoy. Other things would probably stress me out enough. I would make attempts to eat healthy, but I wasn't going to go crazy and exercise constantly or anything. I didn't feel the need to lose weight. I have my whole life to worry about that, why worry in the short time before the wedding? Sure, the photos will be around forever, but so will the memory of being happy :-)
Besides, I apparently get to do this again in 10 years--I'll lose the weight for the beach vow renewal he's planning ;-)
