may do us part.

while my mom and i were sewing my new couch throw pillows yesterday, we bonded a little over TLC's "say yes to the dress." the show follows brides of all ages, backgrounds, and brattiness on their quest to find the perfect wedding dress at swanky new york shop, kleinfeld's. the consultants try their best to learn the bride-to-be's tastes and styles while combatting opinionated family members and low budgets. in all, a delicate balance of mindless and entertaining while feeding fabric under a swiftly moving needle.

now, if you know me well, you know that i don't want a traditional wedding. (marriage, yes.) but, whether i seal the fate of forever in a courthouse or vegas chapel, i WILL have a dress. what kind of dress? considering that i have yet to find a groom (or a frickin' BF for that matter...), i know it's way premature to occupy my thoughts with visions of rouging, beading, white or ivory. as the girls tried on cupcake-like ball gowns with laced-up bodices and strapless straight dresses with drop waists, i reflected on what i might someday wear to my wedding.

maybe something short and sexy?

maybe something romantic and flowy?

maybe something not quite white?

of course, "timeless" describes most brides' overall approach to their wedding. not me. maybe something more along the lines of fun. pretty. memorable. just right.
