I saw my dress in a bridal shop window and knew immediatly it was the one I wanted. I even knew at that moment how I would wear my hair and everything. Apparently my hair looked good, because two years after grad someone I dind't even know was at a party and she came up to me and said "Oh my God you were the one with the hair at grad it looked so good!!" I was like, "umm.. thanks.." I wore the sides pulled back and I had it all curled. I had JUST dyed it too (yes, I used to dye my hair) so it looked like a gold waterfall. It came out SO perfect. I don't like wearing dresses either but I felt like a princess on grad night.

Also, we didn't bother with a limo either. Instead we rented one of those 15 passenger cube vans. It ended up being like $15 a person (which included buying a gift for the mom who volunteered to drive us) and it was SO much fun because we got to have more friends in the van with us. Just a thought for a cheaper alternative
