3. No she doesn't know. LOL
She's ok with it, just doesn't want her fiance to see the dress. She is beautiful, and such a wonderful daughter too. Wedding is September 18th in Rockport Maine.

Thanks, now I have to get my dress hemmed ASAP. :woohoo:

4. Kleinfeld's in Manhattan. Say YES to the Dress place
She chose an amazing gown for an equally amazing price (very economical, I was proud of her, because she spent 1/3 of her budgeted allowance from her stepfather).

The wedding is the weekend after yours, September 18th in Rockport Maine. I am SO excited now...however I'll be more excited when I get my damn dress hemmed (and lose the 20 lbs I gained over the summer, ugh)

:rofl:

5. Ours is Sept 2, 2011, one year after yours!!! So I have all that time to gain AND lose!
Same with ours, REAL bargain; I paid 50% down.

Ours at The Ben, in Philly. Will think of you, in Maine!

I've 'selected,' or seen an outfit for me; a suit, actually. Haven't seen it 'live.' Fingers crossed, that I can actually get it.

6. Oh, I read Sept. 11th.
Kleinfelds was fabulous, M. lives in Brooklyn so for her it was a natural choice. They were all super helpful and very attentive. Even the seamstresses.

I got my dress @ Neiman's, a real fluke, back in June. Perfect color, here I'll post a pic. Her flowers are white, blue, peach and persimmon. She's thrilled cause I'll match -- hee-hee.

8. Yep, datz me
Very nice, I toyed with getting a suit, but the ex is wearing a tuxedo, and the wedding is at 5ish, so I went with a long gown. What the hell! If you got, as they say. Good thing is now too, I have a tan. :D

9. GREAT! A tan with that dress!
I wasn't planning on a suit, just looking around, and spotted 'it!' You know, 'I'll know it when I see it!'
