I already have a dress AND a wedding coordinator.
My dress is TRES BELLE! OMG...Literally, when I cam out of the dressing room, people gasped.....when that happened, I knew that was my dress, so we had to get it, because they discontinue dresses FAAAAR too often not to grab the dress of my dreams up as soon as I find it! My mom actually bought it for me....she and my dad are paying for everything...although my dad doesn't quite realize how much money he'll be contributing yet but it's all good...he's got reeeeaaallly deep pockets and I will throw my very last and greatest, "But you never do anything for me...and I'm your youngest daughter...and this is the last thing you'll ever do for me..." fits. My wedding coordinator is awesome. I tell her what I want and she runs with it. Right now, she's hunting down an awesome (yet affordable) venue for us. I'd really like the Piedmont Room, so she's going to take us there, and there's this other place called Lambert Place that is super nice. She's also working up a mock budget for me to present to my father. He's obsessed with details and if he's going to hand over $10,000+, he's going to need to know exactly where it's going.
