    I hope so! Lets just wish that I win the wedding competition and I get a free dress! :)

    ETA: Errr... no offence but the 'I hope so' was to Wendz saying I'll find the dress, not to you and Dinah making me a dress Tete! ;) Although I'm sure it'll be just lovely!

    Sorry Tete... maybe if you do a good job on Dinah's dress I'll change my mind! ;)

    We're on holiday when the competition ends, I'll be sending OH to check his e-mails every day until we get home!

    I came to check whether you got the dress Birdie! I actually said 'oh no' out loud! :( How frustrating. Maybe the evil person will put it back on ebay? I will keep my fingers crossed for the wedding competition!

    Love those dresses Tink! I think I might just buy a wedding dress and sit about my house in it - Friends Style! :D

    I'd love to do that! I just showed OH the lacy wedding dress I posted earlier. He wasn't very interested! Damn him, he doesn't appreciate beautiful dresses!

    OH doesn't appreciate wedding dresses either; he doesn't like the fact that when girls get married they wear enormous dresses that cover up their figure, get their hair done in massive curly updos when their hair is normally straight and wear loads of make up- he wants me to look like me when we get married... I might try to look like a wedding Barbie just to annoy him! LOL!

    And thanks for the support with the wedding dress! It's nice to know how involved everyone gets! :) Maybe it was fate and I'm not supposed to get my dress yet!

    I hate when people scrape back their hair within an inch of their lives for their wedding day - you know the instant facelift look!

    I think you should look natural!

    I agree you should just look like a slightly enhanced version of your normal self hehe.

    I think you are right Birdie- must be fate!
