Today my cousin had an appointment at Kleinfeld, in NYC, at 10AM.
My cousin, my aunt, my grandma and my cousins maids of honor wouldn't stop saying how famous the TV show is (apparently, Kleinfeld was a BIG thing) and how it would be great to have one of the famous people there help her out with the dresses.
My first impression when I walked in:
*Out of breath.
*Amazed.
*Heart racing.
*Excited.
What more can I say, the entrance was like entering a ballroom, it was enormous and young girls all over the place, everyone had their hair done, makeup, dressing, etc., then little did I know what was behind that reception... It was like "Bridal-Heaven", we all smiled at the glare of wedding dresses all around us, and the fitting rooms??... forget it! the maids of honor and I -the brides maid- where sitting in the fitting room while my mom, aunt and grandma where waiting outside of the fitting room.
There where 2 main dresses that I loved, but my cousin wasn't going crazy for it... I guess it has to do with personalities, she liked them, but I loved them, she wanted more flirty and fun, and I saw graciousness and tradition, I've always been a classy gal.
As we walked a couple of time to the main room -where all the bridals "show-off" the dresses they are trying on in front of huge mirrors, I got to see more bridal gowns; corsets, lace, satin, trumpet, short dresses, long dresses, beads, no beads, sweet hearts and no sweet hearts, chapel veil's and what not. It wasn't till now that I thought to myself, What kind of dress would I wear?... If I ever marry. And I realized how my cousin kept on trying on different dresses and all, and with the second to the last she just wasn't going nuts for it though, she liked it and it got me thinking, If she weren't marrying, she would have chosen that like all of did with out a breath, but I knew she was also picturing marrying in that gown to Alex. She knew it wasn't for them, the gown didn't actually show their relationship and I know that's why my cousin was looking for something more youthful, fun, flirty, out there because that was their relationship.
And so then, I answered my question: I'd wear all of them right now, but until I find that special someone I know I'll be looking for us in an authentic dress.
P.S. There is a possibility that I'll design bridal gowns. Today was truly a unique experience.
