Dress Shopping Appointments

October is dress shopping month! My mother is coming down to shop with me twice; on one of those times, Ryan's mother, my sister, and hopefully Ryan's sister-in-law will be coming with us. I'm excited :)

I went to Google Maps, put in my address, and did a search for anything bridal related in the area. Then, I spent this afternoon making appointments.

According to the folks at the JMC Boutique at the mall I usually avoid like the plague, no appointment is necessary. If I want to try on dresses, I can just show up. This seems weird to me, but what do I know? lol

Another place told me that I could come any time to just look at the dresses, but I would need an appointment to try any on. Which is kind of the idea.

I skipped the place with completely terrible reviews. I considered just going to try dresses on - maybe I'd find something I liked, which could then be purchased from somewhere more reputable - but I think there's enough other places to try first.

One place insisted their prices are comparable to all local stores: their dresses start at $1,400. Wow, lol.

End result is that I have 2 appointments for the Sunday (when everyone will be here) and 1 for Saturday (when it will just be my mom.) Efforts continue...

In other news, Ryan and I have started talking registry... Our talk goes like this:

Ryan - As rice cooker?
Me - Yes!
Ryan - We do not need a rice cooker.
Me - Why not?
Ryan - We have a rice cooker. It's called a pot.

Le sigh :)
