Real Brides: Laura

Eli and I met in middle school but things didn’t get serious until high school! I knew the moment I talked to him in middle school art class that there was something about him. After a long-awaited three years, we finally started dating our junior year of high school, which was the best timing! We were able to create such a special friendship and really get to know each other before we took that next step of dating. This September Eli & I will have been together for 8 years! I was so excited to go wedding dress shopping! I went to 2 boutiques. I narrowed it down to 2 dresses. I didn’t want to settle so I went to my next appointment. However, the whole time at my other appointment I kept saying that “I just need to try the other dress on again!” So, we went back to the first boutique, I tired THE dress on again and just broke into tears, happy tears of course. I just felt so beautiful in this dress. I loved the open back, the deep V neck, and the lace detail. This dress hit me in all the right places and I felt so confident in it. Ask any of my friends and family, I wish I could wear it over and over!
