THE Dress...

Okay, so the man of your dreams has gotten down on one knee and has asked you to be his wife, his other half, his best friend, his shnookie, his teammate, his partner, his homey, his...you get the picture.

Now what do you? Well, if you're like most new brides-to-be, you'll flip through a couple dozen wedding magazines to find to find THE dress--that dress that makes your eyes water at the very sight of it.
