Wedding fever!

I've been really quiet because of all the uni work and wedding planning that has been happening, however the light is slowly appearing at the end of the tunnel in regards to uni.

More excitingly, there have been lots of developments on the wedding front.
My dress arrived the other day. I had found a dress I really liked but it was about £3,000, after searching through some wedding forums, I found a guy in China who could make it for for £120... sounds too good to be true right? I ordered it in plenty of time just incase it did go horrendously wrong, or it was some big scam, as you do hear some horror stories.

BUT

It wasn't!!!!! The dress is extremely well made, it's fully lined, has boning in it and is an exact match to the dress I wanted but of course in red! Honestly, I was really over whelmed by the quality of the dress.
If you want a dress making, send Jeff a picture, your measurements and you can pay via paypal and about 2 months later a fantastic dress will turn up on your doorstep. Jeff can be contacted on jeffliu8800@yahoo.com.cn. I cannot recommend him enough.

The only issue I had was that I have lost quite a bit of weight and will now have to have it altered, it was also realllly long. I am guessing it will cost me about £90 to have it altered but then it's still only £200 for a wedding dress - not bad!! 

Our finger print wedding rings also arrived this week. The rings were hand made just for us by Chris Parry, again a fabulous job and couldn't recommend him enough either!
