So lots has happened since the last time we posted, which was far too long ago! I have mostly ben obsessing about dresses, and am now starting to get a bit panicy about how soon I need to order it. Apparantly some of them need 8 months to arrive, which is scary because it means I need to choose basically now, instead of just dreamily looking through magazines.
So I visited about 5 different shops, mostly in Colchester, which seems to be the home of Wedding Dress shops. It's quite nice them all being in the same place. I've tried on what feels like a million dresses, with Mike's mum very patiently waiting to give me advice about what looks best! Though I have discovered that anything too big looks ridiculous, and that corsets are my friends. And that there are some fantastically pink, sparkly and fluffy dresses out there. Nancy's been brilliant at helping me pick out dresses that will suit. Some of the shops I've been in are just lovely - wine and chocolates, my own private consultant and everything, and my own plinth to stand on.... I'd post pics but I need to keep some secrets! Still, I need to order it.
I guess the next step will be choosing accessories to suit the dress. Though there's nothing I like more than shopping for shoes. Except Mike, of course.
I'm looking forward to going shopping with Jo, one of my bridesmaids for those dresses too sometime next month :) It's fun being totally girly for once! Wonder if Mike'll run a mile if I wear Doc Martins going up the aisle?
Lyn :)
