Practicality War

Today I was offered a chance to save a huge expense for our wedding. Mrs. O.C. and I were eating dinner at her house, looking through wedding magazines and trying to get an idea of the styles that I liked so when I went to go and try on dresses I would be better prepared. After looking for a few hours I found that the pile of images that I pulled was very similar to each other. Most were strapless; a line dresses, with a full skirt and low amount of beading or fussy details.

After examining our pulls Mrs. O.C. made a comment that her style of wedding dress, the one she wore last year, fit into the style of dress that I loved and if I would be interested she would not mind if I wore it. I was so flattered by her offer, and as we skipped up the stairs and laced me into her dress I fell in love with the style. Other than being a little long for me because it had a corset back it was a perfect fit. As I stood in front of the floor length mirror I debated with myself on the practicality of what I was being offered. I could save thousands of dollars on my budget, there would only be a very select few people who would see me in the dress that had seen her. But I would have to sacrifice having my own dress, even though it was beautiful I was torn by need and want. This is something I will really need to dig deep and think about what I truly want.
