Where it starts

I won't bore you all with the details of the engagement (trust me - there is no romantic story involved - which is just how I like it!) so I will start off at the start of the planning - THE DRESS!

The dress turned out to be fairly simple for me - after the initial kerfuffle. I initially purchased a custom made dress from China which turned out to be... pretty terrible. It cost me about $250AU so it wasn't a big loss and when I really thought about it, it would be easier and far less stressful if I went and purchased a dress here that I was happy with.

Interestingly enough, after I bought my second dress, I showed the China one to my future mother-in-law and it isn't as bad as I had thought. It needs a lot of work with a tailor to make it wearable but its not a complete disaster as I had first thought.

Back on topic though! The dress I ended up going with was a Prononvias La Sposa dress. I can't remember exactly how I discovered Pronovias but ALL the dresses are amazing! I fell in love with about 10 of them.

My dress is the Lizana which is currently on order and about 2 - 4 months away (this was ordered in November!)




With the dress out of the way, the fun REALLY begins!

Stay tuned :)
