Real Dress Shopping for a Real Girl!

Lesley, Jen, Adam, Brooke, Sara and I made it to David's Bridal on Saturday, April 18. Sara was a good sport and tried on everything we wanted her to. There was some confusion over the fit of some...you'll see Sara trying to find her boobs. We practiced pretty hard at showing Sara the proper reaction to each dress.

"YUCK" face

(Brooke, me, Lesley, Jen, Adam)

"That's the one!" face...

"I have no idea what emotion we are supposed to have right now" faces

Here are some she tried on that we just weren't Sara...they obviously earned the yuck face.

Here is the second favorite. Or at least of mine. I love the sash with it. It's a bit longer than Sara seems to prefer. Plus she can't find her boobs in this one either!

OUR #1 FAVORITE OF THE DAY!!

Dress Shopping!!

This past Sunday Sara, Alix & I enjoyed some dress shopping. The bridal store we intended to go to was closed on Sundays (which it does NOT mention on their website). So we hit the mall and Sara dragged us into Deb. We couldn't resist checking out the prom dresses! (Well, I guess I could.) Sara started with the slutty swan lake dress. She looked like a cross between a ballerina and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly! We did have to stop verbally mocking the dresses when we realized that most promward bound girls were trying on the same ones! Or maybe we just made them look good.

And who taught Sara & Alix to make such creepy smoochy faces when they pose? I'm going to blame Adam.

Hostile Makeover, Part 1

A bridesmaid's responsibility is to help transform and makeover the stressed out bride into the serene, glowing angel we all pretend she'll be on her wedding day. Adam may not be a bridesmaid, but he's definitely a dear friend of Sara's. So I'd like to include his thoughts and comments on Sara and her wedding in this blog. I will be titling Adam's comments as "Hostile Makeovers."

Just this morning...
Sara: I look damn good in a veil.
Adam: The reason the veil looks so good is that it is designed to cover your face.
Sara: I'm gonna kick your ass.

He was nicer Sunday when he described Sara's thought process. "I like unicorns, I like zombies, what if a zombie bit a unicorn! I should draw that, Curtis would love that, I love Curtis, curtis loves ME! Food."

Adam certainly validates the old phrase, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

Bridal Show #1

Sara and I attended her first bridal show, the day after her engagement, at the historic Plains Hotel. We basically sampled some AMAZING cake and drank champagne as we perused the various booths. Sara transformed into the girliest version of herself and announced to most everyone that she just got engaged. There were many jealous comments over the size of her ring. Sara, of course, just ate it up.

She's already a creepy bride!

The Engagement

So it begins...

Sara and Curtis were engaged Friday, March 20th at Sara's surprise 25th Birthday party. She couldn't have been more surprised, especially by the engagement. Sara must have thought it was some grand joke, because she asked Curtis if he were serious about 5 times. A man doesn't joke about marriage after dropping cash on a 2+ carat diamond solitaire engagement ring.
