El Nuevo Dia accompanied Jennifer Cuevas Pedraza to choose the dress that will join in marriage
Nerves were evident, but they were not as intense as to hide the joy and enthusiasm that radiates love every woman who is ready to join your life to the person who has stolen his heart. So Jennifer Cuevas Pedraza came to choose the outfit with which he will say, "Yes, I accept".
It was not the first time I tried on wedding dresses, but this time everything was different. He had visited D 'Royal Bride, on Roosevelt Avenue, but now it was doubly special. She was accompanied by her her mother, her sister, her maternal grandmother, an aunt and, yes, one of the three godmothers of her wedding.
It was just after 10:00 am when he arrived at the boutique. "You can not begin to mourn now," he warned immediately Moti, Jennifer's grandmother, as she settled on the couch ready to see his granddaughter biggest wedding dress. Beside him, a box of Kleenex. "I'm next to you to calm down," said his daughter, Maria Pedraza.
Jennifer had an idea of the trousseau he wanted, but Andrea Damaris Santiago, store manager, we had already warned that rarely brides chose a dress as they had imagined.
"I'm thinking of a ball gown but yesterday I saw a mermaid who left upset me," he said as he showed a photo Andrea dress he kept in his cell.
He began the search. The bride favored a model of wide skirt, some rhinestones and glitter, but nothing overwhelming. It could be white or natural.
In seconds all we caught in the middle of a long hallway full of dresses that just let you walk we saw. I could not help but look. "She wants something sexy but traditional," said Andrea.
In the dressing they placed five models, all different with the intention to discard silhouettes, brocades and lace. The first model was a ball gown, as she had imagined.
"I did not think this was going to like and love," she said excitedly as he watched the first dress you try. "This is too intense. All men are beautiful, "he said.
"It is I come standard on the bus sitting and they come all the way taca, taca ... that if I could not sleep, this and that and if I do, people ..." he added before testing the suit .
In the waiting room was all excitement and expectation. Of course, they also began to emerge these first details of the love story of Jennifer and Armando, who met in May last year in the small square of Santurce.
It came the expected moment. The door opened, there was silence and time, delirium.
"Wow, Jennifer. You look beautiful, my love. It's like mom said, eresel the Lord sent angel, "her grandmother Moti unable to hold back tears.
Jennifer walked over and stood in front of the mirror. Gradually she was transformed further. First they placed a jeweled belt that gave him a touch more glamorous dress. A headdress and a long veil wearing the same lace dress completed the look.
"We started, number one, go taking their feedback," Andrea, whose spontaneity as pertinently broke with nostalgia the moment said.
"Termíname the story of the little square, please," I told Yarinette Rivera, godmother and accomplice in this love story.
He said that neither were supposed to be that day's Square Santurce. He had a planned trip to Spain that was canceled and the meeting of the graduating class it had also been postponed.
"They have a picture of the day they met," said Yarinette image it took another friend without noticing.
"From day one are not separate," he said.
Jennifer, meanwhile, knew from day one that he was the one. "I knew it would be him because I only had stayed in my quiet life with a man and was Ricky Martin," he said.
The second was a model dressed in lace, mermaid cut and bare shoulders.
"I never thought I was going to like this. And I love it ... I love it, "he exclaimed as he walked to the living room.
"That is spectacular too," said her mother, Connie Pedraza.
"Like?" Jennifer asked as if seeking confirmation that every bride needs her mom. "This I like it better than the first," he confessed.
"Vote, how much you give this?" Asked Andrea. Q Titi, as they say to Mary his nephews, gave him nine points.
"I say it is a click, which is like the bridegroom, who is, is what it is. If you compare yourself with others and you know you're Chava "said Andrea.
"You thought that you would not like, ah ... but I want to see love," said Andrea as if predicting that the next could be love at first sight.
Between dress and dress, Jennifer excitement was always reflected in his smile, in his eyes, as it stood in hands on his face as he left the dressing room and even the way he walked toward his family. But with all that the third model doubled.
"When you see Armando was going to pass out and your dad going to have to give CPR. It is so simple and beautiful at once, "said his aunt while she dried her tears. "The one who would not mourn," recalled grandmother.
The laughter continued.
The model was that Jennifer had seen the day before on the Internet and had left "upset". He wore transparencies and three-dimensional flowers stretched to the skirt.
The icing on the cake was that moment when he placed the veil blusher type that goes in front of his face.
"And it's very difficult to bring something one fits well and is what you like, because that usually does not happen," said Andrea.
At the appointment, Jennifer had been infatuated with strappless dress with heart cutting and draping. Now he had a contender.
"He's competing, there, there ..." he admitted.
The fourth dress was the opposite. It was a siren cut model that was on him a vaporous skirt that could remove.
"This is Velvet," agreed the group referring to the Spanish series.
"Are you or Ana Rita?" They asked. Rita is more cool, he said.
"Dance, dance like Rita," said her aunt.
The veil and a brooch that he placed on the tie that fit at the waist skirt sealed the moment.
"This I love, what happens is that the former broke my schemes," said Jennifer.
Scale of 1 to 10, and the group had climbed from 10 to 20. They gave 19.75, thanks to bling bling.
It was time to try on the dress she had stolen Monday Jennifer sighs.
"This is the one," said the bride as she walked into the living room.
"It's not beautiful, it's beautiful," said her mother.
"Yes, yes, yes ... I think that's," he mentioned his sister.
And then the inevitable happened. Two unique dresses that caused her the same desire and the same security that had that night she agreed to marry Armando.
I knew that would not be wrong in their choice. Now it was a matter of being carried away by one who made her floating.
He again tested the other model I knew it was the challenger, he repeated ritual.
"What they like most?" He asked.
"The more you like yourself, because both of you are beautiful," she told her sister Connie.
"I do not know what to choose, is that it is very difficult," Jennifer repeated his eyes still looking for that confirmation.
They kept passing minute. He replaced his other dress. I was ready. Decisive.
"You Say Yes to the Dress" said Andrea, causing laughter in the bride. All started clapping.
"I love it. I can take him since, "she said excitedly.
"You look beautiful. Is that you look in the face, "said his mother before joining all in a hug.
And nuevosus expressions and glances they had betrayed. He had found the dress of your dreams, as Andrea said after the boyfriend is probably the second most important in the preparation of the wedding look.
"I feel like I float, I'm levitating" confessed and free of all worry, all stress.
Well, it has to do with the wedding dress, because there is still choose the local, hairstyle and makeup, shoes, menu, cake, costumes entourage, bouquet of flowers, decoration, music , write the vote and one additional another tidbit.
Nothing, just the adventure begins.
