Dress BOUGHT!!!

I'm so HAPPY! I finally bought my wedding dress. It's a chic, simple design. I love the way it looks and I feel so sexy in it. I've lost 20 pounds so far on this low-carb diet, so I'm looking forward to losing another 20 and looking incredible in this thing. I actually trekked out to North Carolina for this baby. That, in itself, was an adventure.

I flew in an airplane for the first time. I was a tad claustrophobic on the small plane, tucked in the back right in front of the bathroom and flanking my fiancee and one of the propellers. The take off made my stomach drop, like when the elevator shoots up to the 30th floor. Sonny was really good about it, holding my hand and assuring me through explanations everytime a funny noise emanated from the bottom of the plane, or the plane made a jerking motion in the air.

We stayed in a smelly, smoke-infested room at the Red Roof Inn and ate at a cute diner style place called Waffle House in the mornings. It was two days but we had so much fun and it was so productive, it felt longer to us. Sonny taught me how to parallel park and drive, and while I courted disaster a few times (going off the road and into the gravel on a particularly curvy exit ramp) we had so much fun. It's weekends like these that remind me of why I love Sonny. Anyone else would've been howling with rage and fear after I went off the road (and quickly recovered, thank-you-very-much) but Sonny and I were laughing about it 2 minutes later. He gets me like no one else does or can. He knows my moods, my feelings, sometimes my thoughts before I express them. We're on a level plain and I can't get over how sweet it is to find that special person.

But it's a official. I've found the dress. Sonny also bought a bitching suit to wear, which makes him look uber-English. He's anglo saxon so this suit just makes him look like a regular John Newland. All he needs is the blue fedora and the black-wing tip shoes. It's fun to plan a wedding...at least sometimes it is!

I finally decided that I couldn't wait for my friend to make my dress as he promised, off-handly. I'm glad I did because I've got to wait 3 months for that dress! Imagine someone making it by hand in their home? Especially this guy who takes distractions like some people pop pills!

::Sigh:: With friends like these who needs enemies?
