Ok, let's rewind since I know I haven't brought this up yet in any of my blogs. Brian's brother and fiance had all of their bridesmaids set up, but then Brittany (their sister) had to drop out since she is also doing the photography. I can't imagine being photographer AND bridesmaid while still giving both jobs the needed attention. That is WAY too much to do.
On a side note, her photography is WONDERFUL. All you out there in blogger land should check her out and consider her if you need a photographer for things in the future. And no, I don't say all this to suck up to the potential future sister in law. It really is awesome stuff.
So anyway, they asked if I would fill her spot. The details were fuzzy at first since I was only being told what Brian was being told by his brother with regards to colors and such. Trusting boys with wedding details? I think not.
When we went up to Bear Valley last weekend, I was able to talk to the bride directly and get a clearer picture of what they were looking for. I then was able to get this dress in royal blue (without the scarf thingey):
I love it. Just a cute little strapless dress in a pretty royal blue. The best thing is that this isn't one of those dresses you have to wear as a bridesmaid that everyone says "oh, you can so wear that again!"
I actually CAN wear this again.
I'm looking forward to the wedding because it should be a good chance to get to know his family better. I'll finally get the chance to meet his other brother's wife and their son....I talked to her on the phone the other day and she seems really nice.
Why do I mention all this? Because it's really cool that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with has a really cool family. Even though his brothers like to tease and give me a hard time (what family doesn't?) one of them took some time out last weekend to thank me for making his brother so happy.
An awesome boyfriend with an awesome family and no crazy mother in law who thinks you are "taking her baby away"... Big time score!
