The Dress...no...Gown

So my gown has officially arrived! The weird thing is that I actually dreamt my dress had arrived before I got the message that it was in at the salon. Even more weird is that my dress was early and wasn't due in for another week.

Anyway, I went for my first fitting on Friday and didn't want to touch the dress in case I got it dirty. It is so different when you know this is it...this is the one you will be wearing the day you say your forever vows. Once it was on I didn't want to take it off. It has to be the most spectacular gown I have ever seen in my life. As my fiance tends to frequent this blog, I can't go into too much detail other than to say I love it even more than when I tried on the sample dress and it is more than I could have ever imagined. The whole package...hair, makeup, jewelery, shoes, veil and gown is going to be unbelievable - if I do say so myself!

I go back in a few months for another fitting as my designer doesn't want to make too many adjustments this far out from the wedding...194 days to be exact. Did I mention I am in a triathlon two weeks before! Yep...that is why there won't be too many adjustments as I continue my training. She has cautioned me not to loose too much weight! Isn't that what every bride dreams of someone saying?

Anyway...the planning continues and we have to start looking for paper and designing our programs and get our favours worked out.

Ciao for now.

Awe, come on! What do you mean you can't say too much about the dress...
Fiance Dave here. Yes it's me. For real too.
I have to say, I am realy looking forward to seeing my beautiful bride in her wedding gown. I know she'll look amazing.
Love You!
