Default I have chosen my dress!
You are all going to kill me ~ I didnt try on every dress in the shop!

I couldn't help myself - the first dress I tried on, was THE ONE!

I went into the store originally with a dress in mind, the lady didn't have it in, but she pulled out some similiar as she knew the one I wanted.

Well, thank god the original one she didnt have, because this one was breath taking! (To me anyway!)

I tried it on, and although 2 sizes too big, and pins everywhere.. It was love!

Anyway, I tried on a further 3 dresses.. and went back to putting the first one back on. I had another 4 dresses lined up to try on, but I said I just didnt want to try them on because I knew this was the one for me.

So, I have paid the deposit. No one told me it might be 50% of the total cost. And then you have to pay for alterations. BUT, I was okay with that

Girls, I feel the happiest girl alive today!

All I am saying is, sparkly bits. The rest ... well, like my fiance, you'll all have to wait...

Thanks girls for all your tips and advice.

The lady in the shop said that many people cant pull the dress off, esp with it being white - but she said it looks like it was made for me...

My mam also said when I first tried it on that all the other dresses would have to be something to compete with this dress!

So with those two lovely comments, I am thrilled to bits also!

Hugs, Karen xxx

I wish time would fly alot quicker though now Mazz... sometimes it feels like it is ticking by very slowly.

But, I've been engaged now for just under a year, and it feels like yesterday when that happened....

I hope I will be a princess Mind, I think we're all princesses on our wedding day...

I am soooooooooooo happy for you! I know how excited you were about yesterday and I was thinking about how much fun youd be having!

I cant wait to see it - I know ill cry!!!

I also bought the first dress I tried, although in fairness, I did go looking for it! Luckily I loved it and the minute it went on it was THE one! Tried on another few but like your mum said, they would have had to be really special to beat it and they werent!!

I can feel your excitement now hon!!
