The Perfect Dress, Part One

March 21st, 2008 @ 3:36 pm by Mrs. Peacock

I don’t watch a lot of television. It isn’t on purpose, I just never remember when shows are on and it takes something really killer to get me hooked. These shows include, recently, the Bachelor, House Hunters, Golden Girls reruns on Lifetime and Gilmore Girls on ABC Family/DVD. I know, I know. Blockbuster, award worthy television.

I found the Gilmore Girls as it was wrapping up its final season. I got hooked, without even realizing that the final season was by far the worst of the seven. I bought the first 3 seasons on DVD at Costco and was later gifted seasons 4-6. In season 6, the eternal flirts Luke (Scott Patterson) and Lorelei (Lauren Graham) are finally engaged. Lorelei makes almost all of her wedding plans in one day due to a series of very fortunate occurances. One of these very fortunate occurances is that she found the PERFECT DRESS at the first shop that she walked into. It was her size, just what she was looking for and on sale.

She’s so pretty…

I just wanted to let you all know that I found my PERFECT DRESS. It was in my size, just what I had been looking for and on sale. It wasn’t found at the first shop that I walked into, however. Parts two and three will outline the very exciting journey from “no dress” to “THE dress.”

Congratulations! I am the hugest Gilmore Girls fan. Such a shame Lorelai never got to wear that dress to marry Luke. I bet in the never-to-be-seen (unless they really do make a movie!) future she will.

I found my almost - perfect dress in 20 minutes at a high end bridal shop during one of their sample sales. Unfortunately it was too big, but after 3 fittings and $600 of alterations it is now my perfect dress. yippie!

Just thinking of the series finale of Gilmore Girls gets me emotional. I really enjoyed that show a lot. It was my Felicity replacement! My one true love tv show!!!

My song to dance with my dad was the “Luke can waltz” song and our favors were chocolate boxes. When people asked my theme, I always wanted to say Gilmore Girls.

I too love Gilmore Girls! I hated Lorelai’s dress though! Any dress that can make Lauren Graham look fat is just bad!

If I had a Sookie to do catering and cakes, could sew my own BM dresses, and owned my own cute Inn, I could plan my wedding in a day too! I bet her wedding would have been a lot of fun.

I miss Gilmore Girls, too :( I’m really hoping the movie rumors are true and that Amy Sherman-Palladino writes it. I thought the last season wasn’t as good without her.

Yes, the dress has been in my possession since last August. Its such a tease- particularly since I can’t start my fittings until July.

I love Gilmore Girls, but I hated that dress. Too much floaty things on her breasts.
