Tonight I had my second fitting for my wedding dress. Pretty much Tina is creating the base layer of the torso that all the boning will go on. I tried on a starter-top that she marked and fitted to my body. The fact that I've probably gained about 3-4 pounds during this interview season is hopefully not making the fit too off... I do have motivation to hit the gym though! (I am proud to say that I hit the gym while at a hotel, which is certainly a first for me!) Heather came tonight with me and so kindly took pictures! The next fitting will probably be sometime in early October.
Despite the fact that I'm super excited about the dress and getting married, it is all a little bittersweet because today marks the 4th anniversary of my dad's death. It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years. I try not to get too sad about it, and I think about the fact that Dad LOVED Erik. I think that he would be very pleased about how things are turning out. Also, in case you (reader) are wondering who's going to walk me down the aisle - the answer is simple. No one! I am my own, independent person and no one is giving me away to anyone. Even if Dad were alive, I think that the only reason he would be walking me down the aisle would be because he would have probably wanted to and not because I'm traditional like that.
Tonight Heather celebrated my dad's life with me at Biaggi's before the fitting - I always go out to a nice dinner to remember September 18. I really appreciate her friendship and am glad that she was able to be there. For those wondering where the groom was - he was in Cary seeing a friend from Arizona (Steve, who's also in the wedding) that he never gets to see. I wish I was able to go with him, but, alas, class gets in the way again. We talked about it and decided that it would be better for him to go up to his hometown rather than stay and make a big deal about it. I think that was a good decision.
