Mother of the Bride


We embarked on the grand adventure to find “the dress” expecting it to be the first of several such day trips.  The shops were fun, and the dresses beautiful;  although most were lovely, none were breathtaking.  After a relaxing lunch, we arrived at David’s Bridal. The atmosphere was charged and the shop crowded with cute prom shoppers and a sprinkling of brides (none as pretty and poised as ours, of course).  The fitter was personable and had an air of confidence and good taste; she was straight out of a wedding shop in the movies.   Arms loaded, Mom, Debbie, and I made our way to the “viewing area” and Laura into the dressing room.   After a few minutes, Laura emerged to a captivated audience!  Time literally stood still as the entire crowd of shoppers turned in awe.  “The dress” and especially “the bride” were in fact breathtaking!  I had not felt even remotely misty-eyed up to that point……suddenly, I found myself tearing up and just touched of my beautiful daughter!!!  A mother’s dream moment! Laura went on to try on a few more…..each was okay, but none could top “the dress”!  The bride was heard to say, “I love this dress” and I must say it fit and looked like it was made just for our bride.
