The dress—the dress—is hanging on the back of the bathroom door like it knows it’s about to change my entire life. Or, you know. At least dramatically alter my emotional stability. As I put it on, I give the dress a stern talking to about our expectations for the evening. This is a dress designed to inspire lust and confidence. It’s doing a lot of heavy lifting. It’s inspired by Daenerys Targaryen’s blue Grecian dress—flowy, soft, with a draped neckline and long trailing scarves that are, in hindsight, a tripping hazard waiting to happen. My hair is pinned back with little dragon clips I am deeply obsessed with. I have a dragon-shaped clutch. I may or may not have gone a little overboard. Okay, I definitely went overboard. But I never get to do this. At work, I’m “the girl in oversized sweaters who hoards markers.” In real life, I’m… also that girl but also with yarn. So if I have an excuse to go full fantasy heroine? I’m taking it. I smooth my hands down the fabric of the dress, staring at myself in the mirror. “Okay,” I tell my reflection. “This is fine. This is normal. You are a normal person who definitely isn’t using a themed wedding as a litmus test for your romantic future.” Because that’s the thing. This is a test.
