I Rang the Bell!

It's an amazing feeling when you get engaged. The world stops, you instantly feel happy and a warm feeling comes through you that you've never felt before. It is so magical, dream-like and unforgettable.

Then comes the wedding planning...
Dresses, hairstyles, shoes, rings, colors, location, money... money... and more money.

I looked through tons of Bridal magazines, dresses on Pinterest and dreamed of Vera Wang's White Collection... All of it seems like a real fairy tale. Until reality hits... and makes you see the big picture of how much that Vera will cost, and how even though you want to, you can't even try it on or you'll be highly disappointed. And you get a feeling that you'll never find your dream dress on a budget. That is, until you meet an amazing sales consultant who will make your dreams come true!

Today I walked into Davids Bridal with high hopes and a low budget. My mother and I sat down with a sales consultant named Bianca. At that moment I had no idea this woman would change my life forever. I did the fitting, chatting, planning, color coordinating - the whole shebang. I put on my first dress and walked out of the dressing room. The expression on my moms face said it all... No way! Second dress was much better, ball gown, pure white with beading and a vintage look. I got a smile from my mom but nothing else.

(Third times a charm!)

I tried on the third dress, walked out and looked in the mirror. Instantly my mom started crying, I looked at myself and I started crying. Tears of joy, excitement, and happiness! I got that warm feeling that I got before. I had found THE DRESS. The dress of my dreams. A Cinderella ball gown & I looked like a princess!

The ladies at Davids Bridal surrounded me, dressing me in jewelry and veils. I was white from head to toe. It was perfect.

Then, a woman handed me a bell. She explained that I needed to close my eyes, make a wish for my upcoming marriage and then open my eyes and ring the bell as loud as I could! I held my breath, closed my eyes and wished... I opened my eyes, began to cry and rang the bell for the whole store to hear! Everyone clapped, smiled and cried with my mom and I as I walked in front of the mirrors in my dream wedding gown!

It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful for the amazing sales consultants at Davids Bridal who are the nicest women I've ever met and truly want to make your dreams come true.

I found my dream dress!
& I rang the bell! It was the happiest moment of my life!!
