Just an update, im getting a different dress!! The one ive already got is plain and simple and chosen cos it was only £50 in the sale but its not the one I would of chose if money wasnt a problem. Mum has now offered to buy me one but dont think she realised just how expensive they are! Ive found one that is so amazing, over a grand :-/ but cos its only a few wks away I would have to hav it off the peg so shop is having it dry cleaned and knocked 20% off :-). What a performance, nothing ever straight forward, but shop can hav it shortened so that sorts that issue out, flowers already got - dry ones that was chosen with other dress in mind but will hav to do fir this dress also. Its a lot of money for just a church service so asked hubby to b if we could hav a reception after all so I can wear my beautuful dress, hes not keen however as we both hav anxiety issues and although I would be ok being centre of attention for an evening do, my oh wouldnt. I cant help feeling disappointed but know I have to consider his feelings and the fact that he wouldnt push me into doing something I wasnt comfirtable doing so I dint hav the right to do it to him.
