The story of my wedding dress is a pretty simple one, and one of my favorite details of our wedding! I started looking online at dresses... I have very particular taste so I thought finding a dress would be less than desirable. Well, I found a picture of my dress on a model for the designer Jason Alexander... I probably sent the picture to everyone because I said "this is MY DRESS". I then tried to track down the dress and finally at a bridal boutique "Something Blue" in Dr Phillips, they said they could get a sample of the dress in from NYC from the model rack for $50. So I waited about a month and the sample dress came in and me, Crystal and my mom went in and although it was a little snug (and by a little I mean I was lucky to get it on, the corset back was opennn), it was absolutely gorgeous and was my dress. I got measurements, etc. and we ordered it, and that was my wedding dress. It's inspired by the Vivienne Westwood dress Carrie wore in the Sex and the City movie.
