Real Brides: Maica

We met in nursing school 12 years ago and became friends, actually best friends, before diving into our relationship. Later on in our time, Allen admitted that he saw me in the hall years ago and said to himself and a classmate, "That girl on the right is going to be my future wife someday" (I do not know if this actually did happen, LOL). We learned that we lived parallel lives to each other. Allen and I even had the same pediatrician and favorite breakfast burrito spot.

In short, he proposed in 2023, and we decided to "go for it" and plan our wedding in 6 months. I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but I knew I loved a good slit and an oversized off-shoulder style. I was certain I didn't want lace, but I was undecided about the specific cut I wanted. When I visited Mon Amie Bridal Salon, Tina listened to my preferences and pulled a couple of dresses. The T112 dress from Moonlight caught my eye, and I instantly fell in love with it—it was the first dress I tried. It had everything I had envisioned. 

Given the prompt wedding planning, I wasn't sure which dress would arrive in time. However, when Tina assured me that the T112 would make it in time for alterations, I knew it was meant for me. I opted to open the slit to the highest and added a white bow to personalize it and make it truly "mine." I felt incredibly comfortable and beautiful in the dress, and everyone who saw me agreed that the T112 perfectly captured my essence.
