Recently I went home to Paoli to shop for THE dress. Obviously I can't share any details on this blog, but I CAN tell you about our fun adventures! I ignored traditional advice to "not travel with an entourage" and set out at 9am one Saturday morning with my Mom, sister (Laura), sister's friend (Becky), cousin (Jaime), and bridesmaid (Steph).
Laura was a GREAT Maid of Honor, and took detailed notes about each dress I tried on, what I liked and didn't, and how we each reacted to it. We left our first stop with some great ideas about what I liked and what I definitely did NOT!
Now, if you know the Davis family at all, you know that we live by Murphy's Law: "What can go wrong, will". As we were leaving our first appointment, a lady in the car in front of us got out at a red light and pointed to our left back tire, "You've got a flat!". OF COURSE we did... Our appointments were perfectly timed exactly 2 hours apart and we were already behind schedule to make it to the next one on time! Luckily, my Mom played the "Damsels in Distress" card very nicely, and we found a gas station with some kind gentleman who fixed our tire (well, replaced it) and got us back on the road fairly quickly. Here is a picture of some of us distressed damsels walking into the shop!

We managed to make it to all of our other appointments without further drama, and we even had time to stop for a healthy McDonalds lunch! The day went splendidly well, and although it was REALLY weird trying on wedding dresses (OMG I'm getting married!), I did end up finding THE dress. In my whirlwind of dress fittings, I also tried on my Mom's wedding dress- just for fun. It didn't quite fit...
Love, Sarah
