and dresses, and dresses, and dresses.

I have been privy to seeing lots of different wedding dresses modeled for me.

I'm there because she wants to make certain I like "the dress" as much as she does. Many are very confused and put out by my presence. One (young) girl almost had a fit that I was seeing my wife-to-be's dress before the wedding. She then proceeded to complain that her fiancee had seen her bridesmaids' dresses and expressed his displeasure with them. Well, her wedding dress was similar to them, so she was at the store purchasing a second wedding dress. And Steph gives me that this-is-why-you-are-here glance. And I smile....

Once, a sales girl walked up to me and asked if my wife was in the dressing room. I replied, "No, she's at home. If she ever found out that I was here with my girlfriend shopping for wedding dresses, she'd be really pissed." At least Steph and I got a good laugh out of it.

So yes, we've been shopping for a dress. I have pictures (which I'm not allowed to share) just so that I can keep up. "Does this look better than the one at the store in the mall? You know, the third one we tried on that day!" Thank God for iPhones... I think we're close now, but I dare not say too much and risk jinxing it all.

And yes, we do watch "Say Yes To The Dress."
