She said Yes to the Dress!

This last weekend my sister and I met in New York for some fun and wedding dress shopping. We did so much and had so much fun that I hope I can capture it in this post. Thursday we met up and saw Rock of Ages on Broadway. It was a funny throw back to 80's Rock. I won the ticket lottery and so we got a great deal on the tickets.

Friday was wedding dress day, after catching Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers at the Good Morning America concert in Central Park (of course). We started off at JCrew and saw some beautiful. Then we went to Kleinfelds. Yes, THE KLEINFELDS from the TV show Say Yes to the Dress. It was fancy and so fun to be there. They had the most beautiful dresses. All of the dresses blew all other dresses that we had seen, even in magazines, out of the water. There was one in particular that was stunning on my sister. She just had to say YES.

We canceled the rest of our appointments and set out to do whatever sounded fun. That night we went to the Little Italy part of town and had some great pizza. Then we decided to be girly and go see Letters to Juliet. It was a really gooshy, romantic movie, a great movie to see with your sister.

Saturday was all about Broadway. We had tried to get lottery tickets to Wicked, both Thursday and Friday evenings, but we unsuccessful. Saturday matinee though..... we won! It was really as incredible as people say it is. I just don't know what else to say. After being blown away by an incredible performance, costumes, storyline, and music; we headed over to try and get lottery tickets to new musical In The Heights. We didn't win the lottery, but we bought tickets anyway. It was another great show with an interesting mix of music, culture, and comedy. Plus who doesn't love Corbin Bleu from High School Musical (he's the lead in this show).

And of course, our days were filled with roasted nuts, Gray's Papaya, Thai food, falafels, Mr. Softy's, Magnolia's cupcakes, etc. Let's just say, we ate too much.

We're not done yet! Sunday we met my dear high school friend and her mother for brunch. It's been nearly 10 years since I've seen her. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. After catching some church we walked the Brooklyn Bridge before heading home. We seriously packed it in. It was one of those weekends that don't happen often enough; a weekend with my sister.
