Girls Trip and Wedding Dress Shopping

I loved having 4 days to hang out with KK and go wedding dress shopping with her.  She is my only girl and it is surreal to have her getting married, but we love Mason and I love that she has found her person.

I flew in Friday afternoon and Bella, KK and I went two to two stores in Rexburg.  She found one she really liked and it was in the running to be a final choice.  

We had two appointment in Utah the next day so we woke up at 6am to make the drive to Orem.  We met Whit, Indie, and Andrea there.  She found a dress she loved but it was out of her price range so we went to another store just to see if she could find something there she would love just as much.  

While we were there, she found out her dress from the previous store had been sold.  Back to square one! She tried on a few and found one she loved.  She even found the veil she loved.  We bought the dress and ended the night with dinner and driving back to Utah.

Sunday, KK took Bella to the airport and came back to the Airbnb feeling unsure about her dress. I thought she looked beautiful in it, but what really matters is how she feels.

Monday morning we called the store, and they told us she could exchange it if she wasn’t completely happy. So we drove back to Utah so she could try it on again. We accessorized it with an overskirt and a veil. The salesperson was so patient and helped KK with so many ideas, really working with her to make the dress feel like hers.

In the end, we left with the same dress, just styled in a way that made her feel beautiful. We grabbed sushi and then drove straight back to the Idaho airport so I could fly home.

It was a long weekend, but one I am so thankful I got to be a part of. I am just amazed at her and the incredible woman she has become. It is crazy to watch a once helpless little girl grow into such a strong, confident woman right before your eyes.
