it's not about the dress

This afternoon i met up with a friend as she took another stab at finding her wedding dress. Vera Wang was having a sample sale and good god, was it ever a great sale. The dresses were stunning and at prices even i would happily pay.

It ached a little, watching her and the other women there try on those beautiful dresses. My friend tried to convince me to put on the one i fell in love with, but i just wasn't buying her kind of crazy today. Don't get me wrong I would have loved to play dress up but I realized really, it isn't the dress i wanted to experience. Rather, I want everything that leads up to that moment when i 'find my dress', as well as all of the moments that will follow in the weeks, years and decades after the dress gets hung back up.

It will happen. Whether that's true or not, only time will tell. I have to believe there is a great love ahead for me and hopefully, with any luck, Vera will once again be cleaning house when it is.
