And thank you for the ultra nice compliment. And all I can say re: your dress story, is you are LUCKY that you got a dress at that price! And as I recall, you looked stunning! I can say, despite the cost, that I'm glad I only had one person with me. I hear that's a much better way to go! xoxo Laura, you will LOVE her. And thank you for the ultra nice compliment.

If she's half as beautiful as the gal who wears her, she will be breathtaking. So excited for you! As for my dress it's a sad story but isn't intended to be. It literally was the cheapest dress on the rack and included a veil, underpinnings, etc and cost $370 bucks out the door. I went by myself and took whatever the store had home with me that day. I called Aunt Debbi (doesn't everyone have an Aunt Debbie and an Aunt Mary??) and she said it looked good to her so I checked the box and moved on. It got the job done in helping me marry my sweetie. I didn't expect anything else. I don't remember loving it or hating it. Funny thing...to have it altered prior and cleaned after cost more than the dress cost! Can’t wait to see Marilyn.

So nice and such a Hallmark card moment. This website is rapidly losing it's emotionally unavailable cred! We're at the point where we might need to ask KLEENEX to advertise! It was great to have you with me! And although I know you wanted the experience of a day of trying on, I know you're happy that, in true Lisa Steinke fashion, I knew exactly what I wanted when I wanted it and bought my dream dress! As far as your dress is concerned, yeah, that was quite an ordeal. I do appreciate you trying on that lounge singer one. I just had to know! And now I know. And now no one else will ever have to know! We'll figure out your outfit. At least we're halfway there with a top and skirt that don't match. We'll find one of them a mate one of these days. And regarding the FOLDER debacle of '09, all I can say is my present to you for Christmas is going to be free weights! Love you too! Lisa Wow, mom! So nice and such a Hallmark card moment.

You have become such a beautiful person both inside and out and spending this moment with you finding the perfect dress to mirror the love you feel inside for Matt and life you are beginning is something I will cherish forever...sniffle sniffle....ok enough mushiness (is that how you spell it)....sorry we couldn't find my perfect dress....I loved how you spent the time and effort to have me try on so many dresses (including the fish barrel dress, the lounge singer dress and the grandma dress)...oh and let's not forget how I lugged around the 40 pound folder all day that you forgot to bring the tote bag to carry it in....I swear my left shoulder sags 3 inches on the left side!!!

You two are getting me all weepy -- and I haven't even seen the damn dress! You'll look gorgeous in anything, Lisa, and Matt will probably fall over when he sees you walking down the aisle. Post pictures of the dress after the wedding, PLEASE!! I looked at tons of dresses (and, um, guys) but I knew when I found my amazing husband, Glenn, and I knew right away about the dress, too. I remember trying it on and just thinking, This is it. I still have the dress and, 14 years later, the husband. They both fit! Liz & Lisa!

Thanks for the "witty" compliment! And, BTW--what a story! I think that's hilarious. Maybe your daughter just knows a darn good book when she sees one. Whether she can read it or not is beside the point ;) I'm hoping you'll be able to dive back in and let us know what you think. Thanks again for being so supportive of the book and of us! Means a lot. I wish you only the very best! xo, Lisa Tera–WOW. Thanks for the “witty” compliment! And, BTW–what a story! I think that’s hilarious.
