At the end of February, I am being kidnapped by some friends to go to NYC for wedding dress "looking." I'll be honest that I was pretty upset about this at first because I know how...enthusiastic...J can get about things, especially things like this and I was afraid of having too much attention/pressure put on me. Speaking to him and Ellie yesterday lowered my anxiety quite a bit. I know for a fact that there will be more...stress for lack of a better term...than I would like, but I think it'll be far better than I have feared.
I know there will be some trying on of dresses, and probably some non-wedding fun stuff, but am not really sure what else will be happening. I'm mostly okay with that though. What I'm not okay with is the new feeling of panic regarding actually having to start the planning, which means starting to spend money, which is always a source of great anxiety. But I'm REALLY trying to just go with this trip and enjoy the whole process. Now to convince Ellie that it's a good idea to keep this thing much lower-key than she dreams of.

dress looking is so much fun! honestly tho, look through some pics of dresses to get an idea of what you want (if you don't have an idea yet) because the selection is a bit overwhelming. And take pics so you can see yourself in them too.
