    'another' forum? traitors :p
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Don't worry, I much prefer it here. Bunch of Bridezillas with money to burn on those sites.

    Actually I've ventured elsewhere briefly... But just to read the wedding reports, can't get enough of them! Can't wait for our wedding!

    I've just been looking at Coleen Rooney's dress.

    Wonder how long it will before one pops up on ebay with a few 000's missing - maybe there's one there already................:rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    I quite like it. I don't think I'd wear it, but she looked lovely in it. :j

    she did look lovely but it was a bit too frilly for me

    and just a tad too expensive :eek:

    Well chicks my dress arrived today. (CJ's in Durham)

    It's not bad - the embroidery is lovely, but they left off the overlay, and the skirt seems a bit shapeless compared to the original. But they got the train spot on - would rather have had the overlay though :( I only tried it on quickly, so don't want to make my final decision until my best mate comes over tomorrow to help me out. It's a lovely creamy peach colour - ordered ivory but this colour actually suits me better.

    So, first impressions - okay - the ruched side bit has been sewn flat, but I'm hoping a bit of time out the box will help them look less ironed down.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    They always look different when there's someone there to zip/tie you into it properly... And at least they're close enough to do any alterations to it!
