In 4th grade, I was in the checkout line at Kroger with my mom and I spotted a BRIDES magazine on the shelf by the counter. I picked it up and started scanning through every page and my mom asked me if I wanted to buy it! I was so excited! The entire car ride home, I studied every ruffle, frill, and lace pattern! I loved the colors of the Bridesmaids dresses and dreamed about what color I would choose if I were a Bride and who I would want to be my bridesmaids! I loved dreaming about weddings! This continued through my teenage years! I collected so many Brides magazines that they began to take up too much space in my room. My mom suggested that I cut out my favorite things from each magazine and put them in a folder! When my friends would come over to spend the night, I would pull out my Wedding Binder and we would study it and dream of our weddings someday.
