Six Months Exactly!

[islandbride317]

Whew! Even though I don't want to freak you out....you need to go get a dress ASAP, girl!!

 

Just kidding, but seriously keep in mind that some private/non-chain bridal salons (if you're going that route, that is) need atleast 6 months to order your gown, and then when it arrives, you need to allow time for any alterations that might be necessary, so get to shopping, sweetie! I just don't want you to be any more stressed than necessary in the 11th hour

 

GOOD LUCK and be sure to post LOTS of pics of your bridal gown shopping adventures in the "Wedding Attire" section -- we *heart* photos!!

 

And congrats on your 5 year Anniversary....even though my husband and I just got married 2 months ago, we'll also be together for 5 years coming up this July 20th!

I know! I've just been putting it off for two reasons:
1) I HATE shopping (I know, I know, I'm a disgrace to the gender)
2) I didn't really enjoy dress shopping the first time I was engaged, and haven't really been looking forward to doing it again...but maybe that's because deep down I knew he wasn't the one for me (the first time around)
Oh..and 3) REEEALLY wanted to lose some weight (hahaha who doesn't right?)

Good luck with the dress shopping! You have so many options, so don't stress about it! If you can't find a dress in a store, you will undoubtedly find one online, or even a resale from a BDW bride!

I've only just ordered our invitations, but everyone who's coming has booked, so the invites are just a formality.... at least that's what i keep telling myself!

I'm sure you will find that dress soon. And don't stress about loosing weight, no matter what you will look absolutely gorgeous in that dress.

 

Happy Anniversary too!!

Haha...now I don't feel so bad I was worried I was super far behind. Our immediate family has already booked, so I guess the invitations for them are just a formality. And for lots of people they will just be keepsakes, because I know they're not coming - elderly grandparents etc.

miss_delerium...I'm new to this forum and see you're getting married in January at Dreams PV. I'm getting married that month too. How are the plans coming along? I'm waiting to hear back from Rebeca, but it's a little slow going at times.
