oh my so lovely!

Not the food :)

We had a lovely Saturday walking around with mummy and marilyn before going to the bridal studio for my second fitting. Measurements for him.

This is actually Isaiah's first time in a long while (marriage-time) stepping into the boutique.. considering that I've been going pretty often with Liwen. hahaha.

I first tried on the evening gown and with all the loose parts made tighter, it looks even more gorgeous than ever. I cant wait for Caroline to put on the beads!

We moved on to the bridal gown quickly. It was so huge that i had so much difficulties putting it on. And with the can-can, i felt pretty much as nimble as a can. I needed help putting on the whole dress! *reminder to always wear nice ahems to fittings.

But when it's on, and when i was facing the big mirror... i could only stare. The gown was drop dead gorgeous! It was the dream gown. As requested, the gown was longer and Caroline kindly added in more beadings & embroidery at the front :) :) I later asked Isaiah what he thought of the gown, since he was the one who went 'it only happens in the movies' when i asked him why he couldn't evoke more emotions the first time he saw me in a wedding gown.

And he went, as long as you like it, the money is well spent. I mean, awwwwwww!

So marilyn happily snapped away. She kept asking me to smile but i felt too awkward to do so. CF, all the best! haha. Mummy caught this picture of me giving Isaiah the face while reaching over to catch him. At the split moment, he was actually trying to escape from me. It all looked too Bridezilla! And Isaiah actually uploaded the picture on facebook, only to be reminded by well meaning Su Linn & Eliz that it's not supposed to be seen.

For those who saw it on facebook on Saturday night, you are a blessed one! The said gown was only up for 10 minutes :)

Anyhow, meeting up with CF to discuss Perth locations. If you have any ideas, please sms/call

Loves! Going to mug-mark now. It's only 300++ scripts!

and we can finally start planning

Speech day is over! Finished my first wedding of the year - the school's wedding. Apparently most schools here gets married once a year. Heh. Shall resume normal wedding planning activities :)

Things are picking up, I'm going for fittings and starting to flip all the bridal magazines that dear Liwen has bought for me.

Went for my first evening gown fitting with Mummy, Marilyn & Liwen over the weekend. Ohhh, so exciting :) I love having Mummy around cos she rocks and her opinion matters so much to me.

After so many month (?) or weeks of decision making.. from the countless bridal magazines, pictures and sessions with Caroline (especially the one we sat down to pore over magazines and her designer stuff... and Isaiah played solitaire on his phone), it finally came down to this. The actual gown in physical form. I just wanted to put it down in memory that i didn't quite know how to react when i saw it. My first thought was that it was so not me.. not that it wasn't gorgeous - it was - but it seem such a far cry from my usual weekend style.

But it felt right after i put it on - a couple seconds of lag - but after staring at myself for awhile, i guess it felt right. It would still take some getting used to the fact that i'm a bride! A bride. Fancy! :)

Thank God everyone agreed that the colour was gorgeous next to my skin tone. i was debating between a hot pink one or a lighter pink one. And I chose the latter. Mummy gave some advice on altering the sides of the dress while Marilyn happily snapped away pictures. Moh says i need to lose weight.. so gym sessions, here i come!

I'm doing a silent debate on whether i should post the picture of the fitting here, but i guess i shall keep whoever that reads this blog in suspense..

Until the next fitting (which will be the wedding gown.. EXCITED!!) or the next.. or the next.. heh.

Till next time :) toodles! and God Bless!
