Today on The Girl The Fine Show, I'm talking about the moment that I bought a wedding dress when I was like 21, 22 years old,

zero prospects on the horizon, but I had such confidence that God was going to give me the stream of merit that he was going to bring Prince Charming along,

and I would be swept off my feet into my fairytale ending, into my happily ever after.

But over a decade went by of that dress, sitting in the back of my closet, collecting dust,

just doing no good and Prince Charming nowhere to be found. And I just want to share how I dealt with that serious

disappointment, those unfulfilled longings. And you know, just relate that to you, how you can deal with your

But yeah, so I'm visiting her and I am recording and her upstairs guest bedroom. So if you hear extra

noise in the background, it's because there are a lot of people in the house and there are only so many

spaces to go. So just bear with me if you hear Davey laughing or crying or people cleaning or hanging out

laughing, whatever. I'm really excited about this particular episode, though, because I know that

for all of us, there are those things in our life that just did not go the way that we planned.

There are twists and turns in our story, our life story, and we're like, I don't want this, or this
