THE WEDDING DRESS

When I was younger, I didn’t know anything about manifesting. But something happened to me that showed me it was happening, whether I was aware of it or not. It happened with my wedding dress. I went to the fabric store, looking for ideas. I started to sketch a picture: a drop waistline, uneven hem, backless back, netting in the front. When it was finished, I realized that it was too complicated for me to sew. And it was probably too expensive to have it sewn for me. I tucked the picture away, and had forgotten all about it. A month or two later, I went on tour playing concerts in several different states. I looked for my wedding dress at thrift shops along the way – it was a great adventure. I found a great dress in Missoula, Montana. A friend was with me, and she pulled this dress off the rack and said, “What about this one?” I tried it on, and it fit like a glove, like it was made for me. It was a different color than I imagined, but it was beautiful. I loved it. It wasn’t until several years later, that I found that picture I had drawn. And to my shock, I realized, I had drawn that dress! Amazing.

(Another piece of the story….)
When I went to Missoula, Montana, I played a concert there in a beautiful little theater on a Saturday night. I told my friend about my quest for my wedding dress, and asked if there were any thrift stores in town. She told me they had a great one, and Sunday morning we went to check it out. The store was closed, but my friend insisted that we park the car and look in the windows – she really wanted me to see this store. When we got to the front door, we noticed there were some lights on, and music was playing inside. My friend knocked loudly, and the owner came and opened the door. He had a big smile on his face. My friend told him I was from Nashville, Tennessee and was looking for my wedding dress. I had to leave that afternoon, so it was the only time I could come. He happened to be there doing some inventory, and invited us in. He insisted we stay as long as we’d like, and proceeded to give me a tour of the store. He even took me downstairs where he had a collection of marching band uniforms. What a great shop. You could tell that he really loved it. It was his baby – his work of art.  I came back to the main floor, and less than a minute later, my friend had found the dress. As a side note, the dress was white. I had always envisioned a creme-colored wedding dress. I don’t know why. So when I saw the white dress, I was sure it wasn’t the one. But when I put it on, I noticed the netting in the front, and it fit so perfectly, I decided to get it.  On my wedding day, outside in the beautiful sunshine, the white dress simply stated said “bride”, and it was at that moment, that I was genuinely pleased (and grateful) that I had a white dress. It felt perfect.
