The Dress has landed

This is one small step for (a) wedding, one giant leap for dress-kind.
On Saturday, Matt got two phone calls and a text message in less than an hour. An emergency?
"Guess what?" Lynne answers the phone.
Last time she said that, Lynne brought home a dog. Thankfully, this time she had something that barked far less often.
That's right. The Dress has been chosen. Is Lynne unbelievable or what?
Of course, the details of The Dress remain top secret. Here's what Matt has been able to uncover during his intense investigation:

- The Dress was purchased after a marathon trying-on session, where 75 other dresses auditioned, but failed.
- When Lynne and her mom saw The Dress, they immediately knew it was the right one. (Not pictured at right.)
- It came from the House of Brides, which sounds like a horror movie or a Russ Meyer film, but it's not.
- And...assumedly, The Dress is white and pretty and has two holes for her arms. Matt forgot to ask about those sorts of things.

The Bride said yes; The Dress is chosen. By the end of the week, a location and date may be selected, too. Although even as Matt types this he's aware it's going to seem incredibly naive nine months from now, it looks like the tough decisions will soon be out of the way.
Of course, Lynne and Matt still have to agonize over whether the wedding's theme should be - "Tarzan: King of the Jungle", "Bring Your Own Chair" or "What would Kent Tekulve Do?"
