I have come across many a problem with this wedding planning lark. Who to invite, where to have the wedding, even which country to get married in! But one problem has blighted me more than any other.
The dress.
As you may remember, I went to a massive effort researching the dress. Colours, lengths, materials, prices. Sleeves or sleeve-less? Lace up or zip? Even black or white! I considered the lot.
I even bought a dress last year. A short, white silky number. Cheap as chips but very nice indeed. But with the wolves at the door, I took it back for a refund. At my most miserable, because I couldn't even afford a £30 wedding dress, I returned to my research. This led me far and wide. From one side of eBay to... well, the other side of eBay. Theres only so many times you can look at the same awful lacy lilac suit-dress before you give up completly. I was just resigning myself to the fact that I would be wearing a bin bag down the aisle.
But then, Christmas became a time for miracles! Victoria, my Maid of Honour, donated £1000 to the wedding fund! The search was back on...
I tried everywhere, God knows I tried. I looked high, low and inbetween for the perfect dress. But it was Tom who made up my mind. Like so often before, I was dithering and being stupid, so Tom took it upon himself to apply a bit of calm to the proceedings.
My dress is a secret. Length, material, colour. I will not divulge it to a soul. Except my bridesmaids, who were with me when I bought it. And Tom, who suggested it in the first place. And someone Tom works with whom he told before I made it clear that its a secret. Anyway, the point is, I HAS IT!!!
Its perfect too! It didn't cost the earth, the style makes the most of my, erm, curves, and the material is to die for!! We even managed to get a matching waistcoat and cravat for Tom, along with the rest of his suit!!
But you can't know anything about it until May 28th. So ha!
