My Life and You.

A dark cloud on top of me
A dark cloud that followed me
Through sorrow, through pain
Driving my mind insane

It rained, it rained from my eyes
My hands raised, so fragile
I closed my eyes to a breeze
You pulled me up--with ease

You opened my eyes to new life
You held me up and made me thrive
You gave me love, you gave me light
The dark cloud--you made it bright

You showed me moon, you showed me sun
When I wasn't able to look at none
You have power, you have charm
And now I'm safe--in your arms

My Expeirence

I have only been to 3 shops until I found the right dress.

Shop 1:  Vanila Wedding Studio 

It was an amazing experience! It was the first wedding shop and the best!
I came in and I was welcomed and greeted in a very friendly way, I sat down waiting while drinking their amazing cappuccino, I felt so comfortable and welcomed. Only a few minutes later, I entered the fitting room and it looked beautiful! It was spacious and comfortable for me and my two friends. I was basically treated like a bride, I got my privacy and I was given the chance to try on as many dresses as I wanted and I didn't feel bothered or uncomfortable at all. I loved all the dresses, they were all so beautiful and budget friendly. I chose a dress that made me feel like all this was a fairytale, but wait that's only because I was so excited for my first time in a wedding shop, they had great dresses but most of their dresses were simple and elegant and I was looking for something a little more fancy but I still kept the dress in storage just because it was so amazing I didn't think I would find better. 

Shop 2:  Frost

I came in the door and the dresses were amazing! I was greeted by a friendly Filipino lady and I liked her welcoming smile. I walked around and a chose a few dresses to fit in. I went in the fitting room and it was a mess! My mood got a little cranky because I had an appointment and their job was to get things ready for me and make me "feel" like a bride. I tried to keep that smile on my face while talking to the manager and set up things together. BUT THEN, I had to actually try on the dresses and I felt really really uncomfortable! All the ladies working there came in the tiny and messy fitting room with and I felt really embarrassed and awkward since I had to pulled out and in the dresses each time with all of them in there staring, agh it was awful and I couldn't handle one more second in there and I started having negative thought about all their dresses. I tried two awful dresses then I left. I was disappointed because I had already chosen the dresses I wanted to try on but I didn't get to try any one of them because "they wanted me to try something else".  Also, the dresses were pricey and way over my budget.

Shop 3: Esposa

Lovely! From the second I entered I noticed that the place was so high class and I thought that I wouldn't find a dress with the budget that I set! But surprisingly I was greeted by lovely ladies and we had sat down and had a lovely chat about the dresses and all, and I had to fill i the paper and write down my budget, the style of dress that I like and etc. Then we went upstairs and the place was so comfy, quiet, and just so high class! I tried on different dresses and they were all lovely so it was really really hard for me to choose the right dress, But in the end I did! I ordered the dress and had to pay half the price until I received the dress then finish the payment. The dress takes a long time to be delivered though (around 4 months), but everything else was perfect.
