After trying on about 70 dresses, sifting through well over 500 photos of those dresses, and definitely fraying some nerves (not just my own, either), I bought a dress. I went to, in order, David’s Bridal in Schaumburg, House of Brides in Schaumburg, Reddington Bridal in Park Ridge, A Joyful Occasion in Naperville, Wedding Belles in Barrington, House of Brides in Glen Ellyn, and – finally – Jasmine Galleria in Lombard. Of these places, I must highly recommend Reddington Bridal, A Joyful Occasion, Wedding Belles and Jasmine Galleria. All of these places have lovely salespeople who obviously love what they do and are not pushy for the sale.
I won’t talk about the dress much; after all, I do want to surprise Jim. I will say this, though: my mom, my dad, Nicole, Renee and Lexi are amazingly patient and have been such a great help through all of this. Thank you so much to all of you.
