We had a super fantastic weekend. I knew FMIL SE was coming to visit, but what I didn't know was Mr. SE had planned for my parents to come as well. They drove 11 hours! I'm lucky to have such great parents who will do amazing things!
On Friday we visited our venue (I promise I'll tell tomorrow), and then headed to dinner at the Melting Pot. Saturday morning we went dress shopping (recap later) and I FOUND MY DRESS! Sorry to disappoint, I can't post it on here because Mr. SE is a snooper! I'm going to write a revue of the shop, because I can't say enough things about our experience. It was perfect- everything I dreamed dress shopping would be.
After shopping on Saturday morning, we drove downtown to show my parents where I work, the Cathedral, lodging options, and some potential rehearsal dinner locations. Honest truth: Mr. SE and I have never been in the Cathedral before. But we've seen pictures and heard great reviews, so we booked our wedding there. Seriously- it is the most beautiful house of Worship I've ever been in (& I've traveled in Europe)! What an ethereal experience! We went during mass- there was someone singing and I can't even explain the way I felt. Needless to say, it wasn't long before all five of us were tearing up. I can't wait to get married there, you can truly feel God's presence in that church.
Sunday morning Papa SE and Mr. SE played golf, while Mom SE and FMIL SE hung around the apartment with me. Later in the afternoon we went to Opry Mills to find dyeable shoes (don't even get me started on this one) and grabbed some goodies from Bath & Body Works. I picked up two candles and some fall body wash. The sensual amber and raspberry vanilla were my favorite! And now my house smells like a real apple orchard- delicious!

So excited to hear all the details tomorrow. I agree with the Cathedral comment. It truly is a beautiful church, I only wish I lived closer so I could go on the weekends.
Congrats on finding your dress!!! YAY!!!
Can't wait for more details!!!
I have the sensual amber lotion & I love it. It's a great fall/winter scent! The chocolate amber and blackberry amber are great too!
