Having been married nearly 14 years I'll just say ... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
No, really, it's fine
However, I've been there with the dress thing. Oh my, yes. I searched 4 countries for a dress that I liked and that could be made to fit. I bought one in Kendal, my nearest town from where I grew up, in the end. I hated it. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE - look now and find one, so you don't buy one a week before the wedding like me (and we'd booked the church 14 months in advance!).
My wedding dress was made into a christening robe for my daughter. And I made sure I made the first scissor cut, I was so grateful to get rid of it.
So look now, don't panic you have plenty of time, and just try and enjoy
I really liked this one but I can't find a shop that stocks it! There is a halter neck style in Debenhams, which I think I might try on this Saturday if I don't have a kickboxing lesson.
You'll find the frock. Come to Ramsbottom, we have two frock shops!!! I've always wanted an excuse to play in the wedding dress shops!!! And we have a cake shop "Don't Forget the Cake" and we have an invitation shop, it must be the wedding capital of the North West!!!
I got married in a Victorian style straight lace gown, I loved it be but hubby didn't. And I wore a huge hat!!!! And no, there are no pictures!! And I had a bad nineties perm!!! No wonder the whole thing scares me!!!
Ooooh I used to want a hat! But what did you do with it when you were partying? I would have hat hair. Hats love me, I think people should wear more hats!
I might have to come up and we'll do wedding dress shopping, vibro plate and yoga things! I still have to get the idea past DF and maybe I can get the Megabus to Manchester?
We didn't party!!! Our wedding was at a church which had a big hall, and we had an afternoon tea afterwards. Neither of us drank, and weren't into dancing, so it was quite a sedate affair.
