Saturday . . .

Last Saturday was a crazy one! The Bride to Be was packed with appointments, and Sarah was feeling completely under the weather. OK, "under the weather" is too light of a statement. She was ready to FALL OVER from a killer sinus headache. Honestly, the day was looking like it wasn't going to shape up to much . . . and then the Brace Family walked in.

Lauren Brace was our last appointment of the day. Judging by her outfit ("Bride to Be" blinged-out t-shirt, "Bride to Be" novelty necklace, wonderfully huge smile :) ), Lauren came prepared to fall in love with her wedding gown. If I remember correctly, she fell for the second dress she tried on, as did the ladies she brought with her. The oohing and ahhing could be heard all over the shop, and Lauren's face split in two with her gorgeous smile! This bride and her family managed to brighten our day (not to mention ease Sarah's pain) simply by giving into the experience and having fun with it!

When a bride selects a dress at The Bride to Be, we take her picture and add it to our Bride Board back in the office. As I went to grab the camera, I happened to glance out at the parking lot. Lauren's family wanted everyone on the roadways to know that Saturday was a special day for her. I couldn't resist the photo op! The back of the Brace family van says it all:
