Today was a fun day! Arthur, myself and SisterSister (Arthur's other sister by her dad), spent the morning with Arthur trying on wedding gowns and SisterSister trying on brides maids dresses. It was so much fun! And there were NO BRIDEZILLA tendencies from Arthur! She was actually quiet calm and relaxed throughout the entire morning!
I think a lot of that was due to the fact that SisterSister was so helpful and thoughtful! As soon as she got the idea of what type of dress Arthur wanted (not too plain, not too fru-fru, some beading, not too much lace, no strapless gowns) she began pulling dresses off the racks for Arthur to try on. They both went into a dressing room and SisterSister helped Arthur pull on dresses. I waited on the other side of the door, holding my breath.
The first dress she put on was gorgeous! The second dress she put on was...gorgeous. And well, the last dress she tried on was, well, gorgeous! Arthur's weight loss was very evident in these form fitting gowns. She looked beautiful in them. The last dress she tried on looked absolutely stunning on her, and that was her final choice. It is hard to believe she found a dress she loves on her first trip to try on dresses. We placed our order with the lovely Ms. Madeline at Formally Yours in Lilburn. She and her assistant were absolutely wonderful. They were so sweet and helpful.
Next, SisterSister tried on several dresses from the brides maids collection. SisterSister is sooooo tiny! One sample dress was a size twelve and the shop girl had to clip the dress in several places to make it fit her size 0 body! She made the dress look wonderful! That was the one Arthur chose to be part of her wedding 'bouquet' as Ms. Madeline described it.
Now, we just have to get the other three bridesmaids fitted and all the dresses can be ordered.
Next, we all three had lunch at Johnny's Pizza on Sugarloaf Parkway, where you can get pizza by the slice. It was fun to have lunch and all three of us just sit and talk and get caught up on every one's news and lives. It was fun to be a part of all this!
Here is Arthur and SisterSister after shopping...see the smiles!
