48 Hours Before my Wedding Day

My wedding day, April fools day, was coming faster then I expected. We didn't have much time to get things ready. I had ordered my dress online from a factory in China. But because of Chinese new year, and us making our wedding earlier, the dress would not make it in time. We canceled the order and plan B was wearing my sister beautiful dress. I tried it on a month before and I fit good, but would look great with a few adjustments. I was very happy to find a beautiful dress and  even better, to barrow one for FREE! It got closer to April 1st, I didn't have any time get it altered but I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. I consider myself a low key person and if it didn't fit perfect, I wouldn't really care. 48 hours before we were suppose to leave for st. George to get married, I tried on the dress one last time. For some reason, the moment I tried on that dress, I started crying like a baby! I'm not sure why I did, but in that moment, in that dress, I did not feel beautiful. Your wedding is the ONE day were you are a princess and everyone, including your self thinks you are beautiful. I felt so bad because my mother and sister in law Britt were there helping me put on the dress and saw that I was not happy. PLUS, I was leaving for St George in less then 2 days! What was I going to do. My mother, Britt, and Taylor got right to work and went on a search to find me a dress. The next day, while I was at work, they called and went to every wedding dress shop in Orem and Provo. I even got a few picture text messages of Taylor trying some on for me. Don't I have the best family EVER!? My mom finally found Peggy's bridal in north Orem. She found some dress that she thought I might like. I came in the next day before work, and the owner of the store even opened up an hour early just to help us out. I tried on the dresses my mom picked and non of them looked right. I looked  around the store a little and found one dress on a maniquin for under a hundred dollars. It was beautiful and I gave it a try. Once I tried it on, I came out of the dressing room and looked at my self in the big beautiful mirrors that every bridal boutique has. My mother and the owner were behind me waiting to see my reaction. I turned around and once again started to cry. But this was a good cry! I always thought it was so silly to watch those bridal tv shows and see the bride and the family bawling once she found THE dress. But in that moment I felt beautiful, and knew I was going to be a princess for my wedding day. I gave my mom a big huge and thanked her for helping me find an amazing dress. We then picked out some jewelery and the store owner was going to alter the dress in 5 hours with no charge. Just in time for me to finish my last shift of work, pick the dress up, and head down to St. George and prepare for the big day! That day my mom and with the help of my awesome sisters, found a dress, made my cake, got some decorations together, found an after party outfit for me, drove down to St George, helped Taylor find a place for us to have the Ceremony, prepare and have a family dinner and make me feel oh so special. All of this within 24 hours! They are super stars and I was so happy to have them care so much for me and my special day. Taylor and I found a hotel for both of our families to stay at, and it was only 35$ a night. I sure do like making things cheap. The families all officially met, we went to dinner and got ready for bed. The night before I slept in the same room as my mom and dad and it was my last night being a Wilkinson girl. A lot of things were going through my head that night, mostly thinking I can't believe this day is finally here. The day Taylor and I will finally be together and start our life as husband and wife. To be honest, a year or two back, even the thought of marrying Taylor was crazy. But everything felt so right and I had no doubt in my mind that Taylor and I were meant to be together. Soul mates is a silly phrase, and most people dont believe in such a thing. But i can honestly say, I could not picture my self with anyone else. We are right for each other. And I love him more and more every day. Those 48 hours before my wedding was an emotional roller coaster ride, and lots of last minute important details were accomplished. But that night before my wedding I was worry free, and knew the next day was going to be perfect!
