We are all set pretty much to head off to the US tomorrow. I can't believe the time is finally here!! It seems quite unbelievable. I was feeling in control of things here enough to venture to a city the other side of the region with Primrose yesterday to check out wedding dresses and see if we could get one ordered for her.
We arrived in the shop not quite knowing what to expect, and there were some amazing dresses We looked through a sucession of catalogues and tried to explain (in vain initially) that we were looking for something on the simpler style. Here brides are decked out in alot of sequins, lace, sparkly bits all over their dresses. It was hard to explain that she really didn't want that - the girl looked at us as if we were slightly mad really!! We looked at fabric samples, beads, all kinds of things. An hour and a half later she was measured up, ideas had been communicated (correctly we hope!!) and she returns next Monday for a fitting as her dress will be all made up - just the hemming etc to add. The dress is then going to be ready a few days after that. We couldn't believe it - forget a 6 month waiting period - just over a week will do the job here!!!! It is a fraction of the cost too so if you are in line for a wedding dress pop over for a couple of weeks and you are good to go!!!!
