Jjshouse.com
Does anyone have experience buying a wedding dress from this website? They seem to be very popular and I actually wore a bridesmaid dress ordered from the website two months ago which was excellently made and very good quality. I assume the wedding dresses would be of similar quality and the reviews for each dress seem…

Gifts for parents - yes or no?
