Ok, here they are:

Where there are colors, if it's not navy blue (on a front or back) it would be navy blue on my dress So that applies to two of them, the other one is all white (although I'd probably get that one in ivory or champagne)

Decisions, decisions ......

All three are beautiful!!!

My preference would be for the second, but as Dawn says, all three are gorgeous!

I second that

I think they are all great. Which one do you feel most comfortable in? I ended up buying the first dress I tried on...

When you find "the dress" you'll know.. it'll just go on like a glove....

They are all lovely, I particulary like the navy inset havent seem them like that before, you will look gorgeous whatever you decide on.

Well that is the problem ... I feel comfortable in all 3 of them!!!

All three of these are flattering on me and fit just right. The two with color are by the same manufacturer, infact, they are same dress, just different color & beading detail. The all white one is a different manufacturer, but it's technically same style, and fit just as well.

My original choice before I went to try any on was the one with the full color train. I hadn't really looked at the other color accented one until I was at the bridal shop and tried it on. And I liked it too. So my choices are really between the two color accented dresses. I liked the all white one, but I wasn't planning to wear an all white gown.

So it just comes down to which details I like better ... navy blue train, with navy blue covered buttons down the center of the train, and more beading detail on the navy blue, or the navy blue bust line and navy blue edging on the back, and the white train, which has much more detail on it. The cool thing you can't see in the photo of the color one with the white train (#2) is that the color edging panels run past the edge of the bottom of the dress by about 2 inches, then the train continues past.

I'm leaning towards #2 myself, especially since trying them on ... it's just a tougher decision than I imagined

That's the brand of the ones with color accents, there are all kinds of different styles!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Those really are some quite amazing dresses for the price!

Exactly ... and I don't know if it was luck, or what, but the store I went to (it's like in an Outlet area of North Carolina) - they have them for less than the manufacturer suggests ... can't complain about saving some $$ there!

I love the website. The dresses are great.. I am kind of stuck on your first choice. I think the navy is great there!

I like the second, I have been eyeing that one for awhile myself it's so pretty all of the detail and the backing is real pretty

I'm worried!! Paul sent in the packet last monday it arrived there last wed the 9th, he called and they said it hasn't been processed :S Does it usually take that long to get an interview date? Is there something wrong with the packets you think?? I would feel so much better knowing a date!! Preferably soon. They said they would look into it and call in a few days, do you think they really are looking into it?

I'd call daily.. haha I'm impatient but it its not costing anything to call right?

Not a problem at all. I'm not too stressed at the moment, or should I say today. Now tomorrow, it could all be different, considering yesterday was a panic day!!!! Any my head is spinning about dress choices. I've got it down to 3 dresses, but I can't seem to make the "final" decision!!! Anyone interested in viewing the pics -- I'm willing to take input I can post the dress pictures .... most everything else has already fallen into place, at least I think it has!

I'll ask my parents too about places around here, let me know what your "ideal" place is, if it's just for you and Ricky and the kids, or others, etc.

Thank you. i will still need to discuss things with Ricky and then I will let you know. But we might end up making plans till after the interview. I can't flood him with everything, it is always one step at a time. The poor guy is not yet done with tax return, he is still rushing right now... see what would have happened had I let him do everything for our I-129F ... right now he has not compiled all the things I would be needing from him and my interview is in a month's time. (When we called the embassy here on April 1, we were offered April 9, April 22, April 29 and whole month of May to pick a date for interview and I had to chose May 21 so he could have plenty of time to compile the needed documents to send me--and it is just I-134 and supporting documents really coz he already have the other stuffs when we sent I-129F and I already have a copy of 98% of I-129F coz I was the one who made it) I am just grateful that he is not the one going to the interview and be filing up all these forms and compiling these documents needed on my end. That would have been more stressful on both of us. Well, he is still my guy and I'm sticking with him and in fairness to him he have other strengths and numerous admirable qualities.

As for the dress: All 3 are lovely dresses. I like the details of the front portion of gown number 1 best but I like the back portion of gown number 2 better. GOSH! tough decision!

So here is my latest "wedding" problem...it's not really a problem, just an obstacle I suppose. Marco's sister is going to be in the wedding, along with my sister........well try getting the same color dresses for the girls let alone the same dress! I am on a mission to find a dress that can be ordered in both the US and Germany that matches my color, etc......

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
