Chapter 25: Wedding Dress Shopping!

After my dad shoveled the driveway this morning, we were able to leave the house! Suzi came over and she, Katie, my mom and I headed to Catan's Bridal in Strongsville. Catan's is supposed to be one of the largest bridal salons in the country! And it did have a huge selection of dresses. We looked through many of the dresses and picked out 8 that we liked. The sales assistant took us to a private room that had a pedestal surrounded by mirrors, seating for Suzi, Katie and my mom and a changing room for me. It was nicely set up. I was surprised to find that I liked 3 out of the 8 dresses; it was much easier than I thought it would be.

We walked through the showroom once more and only picked 2 other dresses to try on. However, we still preferred the 3 dresses from the first batch. I decided to try these 3 on again to see if we could eliminate any of them. I found one that I liked best and the sales assistant then showed us veils, jewelry and shoes! Even though we all loved the dress we weren't sure it was "the one." So, we decided to go to another bridal salon with the plan to return if we didn't find something better.

We stopped for lunch to refuel before heading to David's Bridal. There were a lot of people at David's Bridal and we had to wait a while before we were able to try on the dresses. I tried on 4 but did not like any of them as much as the dress from Catan's. We did not end up staying long. We were exhausted after the day but felt as though we had been very successful!
