  My friend Sammi, whom I've known for nearly seven years, is getting married this coming May.  She was kind enough to invite me to one of her dress fitting sessions last weekend, provided that I take pictures of her.  And I gotta say getting married must be one of the most stressful things in a person's life.
  

  The appointment was set for 2:30pm on a Sunday.  Being the prompt person I've always been, I arrived at the bridal shop dead on but I was the only one there.  So I called her only to find out that the featured starlet was still at home fixing her hair.  I could hardly hear her as her voice was overpowered by the screams and yells of others in her room.  From their comments I can tell that their "argument" was over her hair so I figured it's best to leave her be.  Without knowing whether she can actually hear me, I told her I'll see her later and hung up.

  A good hour had passed when she finally showed up.  During that hour I grabbed myself a cup of coffee.  She was already in the fitting room trying on the dress when I returned.  When she came out, she looked absolutely amazing.  I honestly believe a wedding dress is just one of those dresses that would make anyone look exceptionally beautiful.

  So there she was, looking in the mirror while her sister and mother are constantly picking, tugging, adjusting her dress.  They kept commenting on this and that, bouncing off ideas and feedback about how to make certain things look prettier or how it should feel.  Every little details were analyzed to the full extent.  Sometimes, the ideas overlapped and what was once a disliked suddenly turned into a favorite.  Sometimes, with comments flying left and right it, Sammi gets overwhelmed and start showing her frustration.  Her frustration then boiled over to her mother and sister and all of a sudden the tension is so high that I fear someone will simply rip the dress to pieces in anger!!!

  Ok, I'm exaggerating but truth is, I can tell it was really stressful for everyone.  It's understandable since this is, afterall, her wedding day; The most important day of her life thus far.  We were there for a few hours and everyone handled it quite well.  Below are some pictures I took of her and her dress. 

  She looks absolutely beautiful.
