I absolutely despise reality shows. I think they are overly edited, encourage poor behavior, and are definitely not a representation of reality. However… there is one show I enjoy watching short clips of on social media; Say Yes to the Dress. It follows women as they go through the process of selecting what they feel is the perfect wedding dress for their special day.

This August will be 30 years since my husband and I said “I do” at the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Seton Hall University. Anyone who has gone through the process of selecting a wedding dress knows it can be trying. I went with my mother; I went alone; I went with family members. Everyone, of course, had an opinion. I really had no idea what to pick. That all changed when my parents went to Italy a little more than a year before my wedding.
