Suicide Mission Cancelled!

As some of you may know, my little sister Meagan is getting married in May. I have the wonderful privilege of being Matron of Honor to Bridezilla. The wedding planning process has been such a roller coaster with her that I was severely dreading the bridesmaids dress hunt. I had already decided that the first thing I found that covered my boobs and butt would be mine, but I knew she felt differently. Today was a planned trip to Nashville for shopping and I had already verbally told a few of my closest friends of my planned suicide.....if things got too dicey I was going to toss myself out of a car going 75 mph down the interstate - a task much safer than shopping for a dress with Bridezilla and my Mom!

Well on Friday I gently nudged Sis into going to David's Bridal in Bowling Green just for a sneak peek. I picked up two dresses and headed to the dressing room. Much to my pleasure and amazement dress number 2 was perfect! This was so much easier than I had ever dreamed! I got a beautiful dress (to wear for one day) and there was not a single family fight! I must have been living right!

Now I am on to a more personal battle. Finding the correct undergarment that will suck it all in and smooth it all out while still allowing me the correct oxygen supply! Any suggestions?

Congrats on finding a dress so easily, and it's really pretty too! I have no suggestions other than lots of spandex?! :o) Girl, with the way you're losing weight, you may have to have it altered by the wedding day!!!

Oh, that would be GREAT! Thanks for the encouragement!

I was thinking the same thing. If that ticker keeps on moving, I see some alterations being made. It is a really pretty dress. I remember going with my sister to Nashville. My only request was "no strapless" and my dress was strapless:) But it ended up being okay and was a beautiful dress.

Love the dress, you will be hot

One word...Spanx High Power! They will suck in everything from below your bra to your knees! :-) They are expensive but so worth it. Don't try the knock offs either. I promise they aren't as good. I got one pair of mine on Ebay...they weren't used, just factory overstocks. By the way, the dress is beautiful!

Correction: Spanx Higher Power. Sorry.

OMGoodness!! This is the bridesmaid dress that I wore in my cousin's wedding (in black). You can see pictures on my facebook page. And I wore the spanx thingy under it and it slimmed me down majorly. I needed it because it was only 4 months after having Samuel!! I love that dress.
