lol maybe it's a little bit of both.

They are expensive! In fact, they make more than a corporate lawyer or a stripjoint artist.

Hi Ladies:

I've been MIA (stupid work and stupid home reno's getting in the way of wedding focus). I'm going to try and do one long multiquote email to catch up, so here goes

WELCOME WELCOME to you both. I'm an AS bride too - May 27, 2011!

Looking forward to sharing the planning process with you.

Ditto this, that photo is amazing!! I think that would be the experience of a lifetime. However, the seasickness part DOES frighten me a bit. May I ask if it was unreasonably expensive and what company you booked through?

Wow, another date confirmed. That's wonderful! Congrats. I know you've been waiting a while to find this out. I would've probably lost my mind. I only waited like a week and STILL went nuts. That's wonderful news!

IÂ´m under strict instructions from FI not to even look at another wedding dress now, two is enough apparently. Fair point i suppose, but what about ttd? (just kidding!)

Ok, I personally think this dress is to die for! Amazing. Truly.

Unless i donÂ´t eat between now and January.... oh and grow 6" taller!

Gorgeous as well! And I'm sure you'll look FABULOUS in it. Those models in real life look too thin. They don't fill out those dresses properly and it's all camera magic and photoshopping that makes them look so amazing. I think it will be stunning on you! congrats

If you find this out - that would ship to Canada, please share!

OK, ladies. Just catching up with the Congrats etc. I hope work slows down a bit and I'm able to keep up to date more. I personally, have no wedding news to report. haha. Other than yesterday was exactly 11 months to go (sounds so soon when I say it like that)

I've been reading the posts between the lot of you girls. I'm laughing aloud! I love it!

Awww beautiful dress...

Nicy have you ordered your's yet? My sister came round on sat and tried her BM dress on with the sandals. looks lovely. My other 2 BMs are coming this sat to try theirs, i'm sure they will look gorgeous! Then i only need to get my flowergirl dress which i'll buy after xmas as she will have grown alot by then...

hiya easterbride, B-E-A-OOOOTIFUL dress!

I canÂ´t decide what to do with my hair either, mineÂ´s a big ball of curly frizz, which i know is going to get worse in the humidity, so i thought itÂ´d scrape it back and spray it into submission, but then iÂ´m worried iÂ´ll look like a pin-head! also my other half likes it when itÂ´s down..... ah well iÂ´ll probably change my mind a million times between now and january!

That's really pretty, I just did a quick google search for you, hope it helps.
I found these that ship to Canada but it looks like they all cost more than the David's Bridal one but could be because of size:
