I don't know about you, but we think there's been a lot of talk about Carrie Underwood's engagement to Senator Mike Fisher, and of course, the ever pressing question of "what kind of wedding dress will she wear?" One online article had this to say:


"Ideally, her wedding gown will reflect Underwood’s best qualities. So, something down-home but a tad regal too. Maybe a one-shoulder design — glamorous, yet middle-of-the-road. Then again, it's possible she'll go for something frothy and fun, typifying her body-conscious generation."


How's that for decisive?

Standing in the line at the groceries the other day, we finally saw it: pictures of Carrie Underwood's wedding dress in the current issue of People magazine. All last week we've been reading about the Monique Lhuillier chantilly lace creation, but had yet to lay eyes on the dress itself. Instead, we filled our time speculating on the style of wedding dress she would choose - check out our predictions to see if we were close!


Carrie ended up choosing was a romantic and dreamy creation, with bustier style top and a skirt with hundreds of tiered layers.
