So, I took the IL gals wedding dress shopping!

[sprky79]

And they all got to meet my sister, who is FABULOUS (and lurks, so at one point she asked, "So, where did the board go?")

So, Jermys, Mw/oS, CBWM, my sister and I trotted off to the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and had the greatest fried cheese curds EVER, then headed off to the wedding store also straight up in the middle of deliverance. And holy crap it was the biggest damn wedding dress store I have ever seen! AND, it was not as obnoxious or crowded as a David's bridal!

I really wish we could have taken a picture of Jermy's trying on a giant poofy dress, with her purple bra showing through. It was a true thing of beauty.

Also, I may or may not have found my dress. I want to sleep on it, but I may or may not have found my dress in the middle of the country :-)

And Jermy's is totally going to get her husband to enter my sister and my BIL's BBQ Rib contest this summer, which would be awesome :-)

[hubes]

Aww... Sounds like a great day!

[MrsDr2B]

It was lots of fun! And so great to meet cbwm, jeremysgirl, and maryw/osound

[sprky79]

And, now you've all met the sister of Sprky :-). Be nice, all y'all, or I will totes cut a bitch

[karmasabiotch]

I'm so envious of this GTG group.

[Kit]

Awesome! Will we be seeing a picture of this dress if/when you decide, or is it super duper top secret? ;-)

[sterl724]

Just out of curiosity - where were you in IL?

[sprky79]

Sterl, I'm in Wheaton.
BTW, who were you? I know your pic, but don't remember who you were...

[Kit]

Sprky! You're in Wheaton? I live in Schaumburg but work in Oak Brook. Soooo close. :-)

[sprky79]

Uh, Kit? I work NEXT DOOR TO YORKTOWN.
So, the real question here is when are we having lunch?

I'm still me - same name. I put in the same siggy pic, hoping it would help with association.

I'm in the Champaign area - just curious if you where in this region. There are a few big stores here.

[Kit]

OMG! I love Yorktown! Ok, well no. I love Brio, Flat Top Grill, and any other restaurant around there. LOL I'd totally be up for lunch!

[sprky79]

Sterl, we all were there last month! I'm a U of I grad! We will have to head back down there sometime :-)

[deanlicker78]

This sounds like an awesome GTG.

[sprky79]

Kit, have you ever been to Tom and Eddies? Really nice lunch place.

[Kit]

I've never met anyone from the interwebz! I'm normal, I promise. Well, mostly.

[sprky79]

If you are normal we are not meant to get along :-)

[e-mail]. Lemme know when you would like to get together :-)

Never been there but I know where it is. Over by Asha kind of, right?

[sprky79]

Yeah, that is about where it is.

If you do - let me know! I've never done a GTG and would LOVE too!

[sprky79]

Sweet, Kit!

[cbwm1]

I may or may not have picked out said winning dress. And y'all, she looked GORGEOUS in it. Gorgeous!

And when Jermy's does a vow-b-que renewal, she found her dress and it's obscene.

And sprky's sister is seriously beyond awesome. I can't wait to hang out again!!

[bonquiqui]

This sounds awesome ! Im waving hi from the chicago burbs!

[Kit]

Bonquiqui, where are you located, if you don't mind sharing?

[drrn04]

sounds like it was a lot of fun!

Sterl, I've looked at your sig pic a THOUSAND times and thought....that looks like MY quad. But then I think no, all quads look the same and it would be weird to ask. I had no idea you were in Champaign!

[bonquiqui]

I am in the far northern suburbs. Lake County representin'!

[Kit]

Helloooooo Lake County from Schaumburg!
