I originally had my heart set on a Maggie Sottero gown. I found it while browsing on the internet. I carried the print out of the gown around with me for a year. Then the big day came to actually try it on. HATED IT!!! So the journey continued for a wedding gown. My sisters and mom went with me to Eva's Bridal in Chicago. it took about 1 hour for me to find two dresses that i loved. There was one problem. My sister and mom liked one dress better. And my other sister and i liked another dress better. However, we really liked both dresses. So, I decided to bring my father back and let him be the tie-breaker, this is the one he chose. (It's actually the one i picked too;)
