A Stunner

Earlier in the week Joanne emailed this pic of her workmate's wedding dress. 

My first thought was, 'Hey, Taylor Swift!'

I think the dress is stunning; it's perfectly suitable for Fiji's weather yet gorgeous enough to be Wow.

And it has gorgeous pleats on the front that is great at creating a fuller figure which I need to balance out my full face. And my 'full face' I'm just being kind to myself; it's really quite fat.

Joanne Mar: your mission is to find out Where and How Much?

Funny story from yesterday - I had to go pee so I got up from my desk and announced to those around me that I was going to pee.  As I do.

Then into the loo I went, humming away to myself.

I thought I was alone, so I let out a big fart.

But to my horror, I heard a flush in the next stall a few secs later!!!!!!

Good thing this blog is private :o)

Recently I compiled a Word Doc of potential dresses for the big day.

Then like every good bride, I went about trying to find them in the bridal shops to see how they looked on me as opposed to a perfect six foot model.

It was there in the bridal shops that I discovered I wasn't a good bride afterall; there were girls in there whose weddings were like 2yrs later and they were already trying on dresses!!

Anyway, so I've got about 7months until my wedding and I'm still hming and uming over what I'll be wearing.

At least I've narrowed it down to two.  They've been chosen because they're gorgeous and have interesting bodices.

The first one below I've dubbed 'page 5' because that's where it features in my Doc!

I love 'page 5' because it'll create a fuller bust I think.  Unfortunately I have not been able to find this in any of the bridal shops I've been to.  Or perhaps it was there but I wasn't looking hard enough.

Then there's Page 1.  I was able to try this one on at Fairytales Bridal in Puckle St, Moonee Ponds.  It's a very flattering style and very fitted which according to the saleslady, 'shows off my figure'.

It hugs my hips very closely, but it doesn't make my wonky hip obvious.  I love that it's a one shoulder because that's something I've been certain about from the start.

And I love the cupcake boob - I think it's very charming.

But even after this post, I'm still undecided.

 

When's the Date?

The answer is; TBA


Ant has finally managed to make a booking with the Event Co-ordinator at Novotel Convention Centre!

The ever elusive woman returned his phone call today after he twice tried to get in touch with her in the week gone.  An appointment has been set for Tuesday 10am.  We can finally discuss pricing and possible dates!  Not to mention see the venue because I have never been.

The ball is truly rolling because his Priest is also going to ring the priest at Sacred Heart Cathedral's to set up an appointment for Ant's family to see him.

And he's also been told who will head our pre-marital counseling so his mum will be contacting them to find out the requirements because it's a bit hard for me to fly in if there will be many sessions at different times etc.

So it sounds like I've done nothing right?  Wrong!  I have been dutifully dress shopping, as much as I hate it.

Especially when the saleswoman insists on being IN the changing room to help you in and out of the dresses while you are practically naked.  But luckily this was only at one place.  And my underwear didn't have holes, whew!

I made Lyn stay in the change room to help me at the second bridal shop, so the saleslady had to satisfy herself with waiting outside the curtains.  Ha!
