shall we have a wedding chat thread?

That looks gorgeous!! You mst love it if you just paid up without the paperwork. I've just got to send off the forms and the reverand has to do his legal checks to make sure he can marry us. I'm getting married in the same church my parents did.

Joho, that dress is stunning but I'm afraid I can't find any chepaer, except for the Landy type places, sorry

OMG! Popped into a local boutique to browse; ended up with an appointment for 2hrs later to try things on; took ALL my details including grooms name, email, phone, date of wedding etc etc; not pushy but intense. Tried on about 9 dresses; whittled it down to 3, ranging in price from £250 (in the sale) to £1000 for a Sottero and Midgley Landis.

So can anyone guess which one I fell in love with?

If some wonderful soul can find me a size 12 for a price that normal hooman beans will pay, I would be overjoyed!! And marry you instead of my man!

Wow, that really is an absolutely stunning dress. Elegant and really unique. But again sorry I can't find a reduced one.

Kind of a crisis this morning, I've come home and my mam's made me try my dress on again and she's not convinced I'm gonna loose enough weight for it to fit 'comfortably' apparently, so we're going for a crisis meeting with my Aunt who's a seamstress and she's going to make me one.

Am I strange for not panicking much?

Lexxi

You might not need to panic, everything might be ok, can you be any stricter with your diet, without compromising your health?
If not there is someone close by who might be able to let the seams out or come up with another solution with plenty of time. You're mum may be stressing and worried that on the morning of the wedding it won't fit so covering every eventuality.

I had a quick look on ebay. Couldn't find any real ones, but there are copies out there for £4.99..................... plus £90 odd delivery!!

Much as I love the Landis, I'm now thinking it may be way too stiff and formal for a Greek wedding.

deano23285

the £90 delivery is because it'll either come from chine or the US hence the high price.

my wife to be is looking at getting a copy done on a maggie sottero (sp?) from ebay for less than £300

joho no not at all! its one of the more flowy dresses
there are lots of cheaper alternatives apart from the chinese copy routes for this style of dress
debenhams,next,bhs,monsoon even asda have similar styles
