1 point for Team Bride!

As I'm sure everyone knows by now...Meme's dress was beginning to make my hair fall out. The mauve, 40-year old dress was just not what I envisioned my favorite grandparent in! But the gods smiled down on me!! The "oldie but NOT a goodie" dress will NOT be making an appearance in my wedding pictures! (cue Angelic chorus and sun beams) We will, however, see it at the rehearsal dinner. Honestly, that doesn't bother me one bit! At least the urge to wear the dress will have been fulfilled. I won't post a picture of the new dress she is wearing but it is very nice and she looks like the fabulous Meme we know and love!

As for my mother's dress...she's still wearing it BUT it is definitely not what I had pictured in my head. I hadn't seen the dress in about 2 years and after I heard about the slit, I had a very tight fitting dress in my head. She put the infamous dress on for me the other day and I completely changed my mind about it. She looks totally fabulous! And being the woman she is, I shouldn't have expected anything else! The dress is not nearly as fitted as I thought and you have to go searching to even find the slit. The sheer back, not so sheer. She looks great! I'm not too ashamed I admit I was wrong!

Now we can put the dress debacle behind us and move on to EVERYTHING else that needs to get done!
