The dress I wore has a story. Once engaged, I poured over wedding magazines that my friend's teenage daughter had collected a year earlier. I made the mistake of falling in LOVE with a certain "Gunny Sax" wedding dress that was no longer available one year after it was featured in magazine ads. After I saw it, everything else paled in comparison. I finally gave up on being able to find it. Resigning myself to find "something", I walked into a wedding shop and there it was! My Gunny Sax dress! It was a year old shop sample, so I got it for very little. Ha! God provided my my heart's desire in a dress... Then my heart's desire in a hubby!
