Weddingbee Blog

This weekend has been a really interesting, loving and very funny one. We went up to Boston since we have a friend up there who can get us a discount on wedding dresses.

I haven’t really told anyone on weddingbee except Miss Violet that I really had a different dress that I wanted (which actually happens to be her dress). But things changed and I convinced myself that I wanted a white dress.

I went with my fiance, our groomsman, and my friend with the discount to David’s Bridal. My friend kept telling me to try on the dress I first sent her months ago. Finally I gave in and told her that I would just try it on.

When I came out with it on, everyone was stunned, jaws dropped… and when I looked in the mirror - I remembered why I loved that dress oh so much. Then my friend gave me a card that said: “This is your wedding present from all of us… If anyone deserves the dress of their dreams, it’s you.”

Tears came flowing from my face as I read the card with my friends saying that they were so happy for me and wanted to get me something nice. They all surprised me so much and even caught me on camera! I knew that my friends loved me but I didn’t know how much.

But my fiance had planned for months on surprising me also. He wanted to buy that exact dress for me in Boston!!!

My mom told me that very morning that I should get that dress, and I kept telling her it was ok. She told me that after the discount with it being tax free, it was really reasonable for a dress of that kind of beauty. She even gave me money to pay for that dress!!

I’m so lucky to have so many people in my life who love me so much to even want to buy my wedding dress for me. My mom, my fiance and six friends who knew how much I loved that dress wanted to buy it for me themselves.

I don’t know what I did to deserve to be blessed this much. But I can say that I still get teary eyed writing this right now.

In the end my mother won the dress buying. But I look at it as fate nudging me to buy this dress in the first place. I had planned to have this dress from the very start and changed my mind only a couple weeks ago. There was just no way this dress was getting away from me with eight people trying to get it for me instead!

If you were in Boston and saw some crazy Korean girl crying in Starbucks, Best Buy, Trader Joe’s, Finale and wherever else. I’m sorry. I kept thinking about all of them and I kept crying because I was so happy.

The dress is ordered and I will have it in December. I can’t believe it… I have the dress now! I’ve missed all of you while I was gone. Sorry I don’t have pictures, I was crying too much to find the on button.
