In between babysitting Titus, Jayden, the grandma's and I went shopping for Jayden's wedding dress. We knew the blizzard would prevent our original appointment. Even though Erica and Jaynie could not be there, it was special with us 4. We went to Modern Dress in Boone and started with the dresses available in Jayden's size. Jayden did not want to look online ahead of time, She just wanted to browse the selection and see what dress would just feel like "the one". She had 5 dresses she picked out and tried on. She had one with long sleeves, one with a squared top, one very plain, and the two favorites were very similar. Jayden had in her mind something western and long sleeves. When she picked her favorite, the dress was neither of those, but so beautiful. She tried her 2 favorites on twice each and could not decided between them. She looked at and walked in and admired them both. She wanted to know what we thought and the Grandmas and I loved them both and wanted her to decide. She facetimed Jaynie on her phone , who gave her some really good advice that helped her make the final decision. In the end, she said "yes" to the dress and it is a great one for Jayden! She looked so beautiful and will look amazing on her special day. The one she chose was one that Grandma W. had as her top pick from the beginning. It has just a little bling to it, just like Jayden, she leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes. We were so fortunate to find the perfect dress for Jayden in her size after shopping at one store and in a short period of time, an answer to prayer. The dress fit perfect with a little altering needed to the plunge down the front. Aunt Lori will help alter for her. Grammer Karen surprised Jayden by paying for a large portion of her dress. That was a special gift to her. What a fun day! The excitement of the big day is starting to feel real.
