His and Her Dresscode on that Special Day - Part 1

Realised that there haven't been any updates on our "dress and suit" for the special day.

Part 1 - Her ROM Dress

Went to choose my rom dress at Jazz Bridal in May 09. Shortlisted 2 dresses that both dear and I like - One is a white (with a tint of pink tone) knee length bubble tube dress with a red sash, the Second was a white flowy tube dress of varying lengths (at knee length for front, and longer for back) with a pink sash. It took a while before Dear and I unanimously chose the latter. To our dismay, Yvonne, the person who helped me with my dress selection, did a quick check and told us that both the flowy and bubble dresses had been chosen by another bride who's getting married on the same day! How can this happen? So many Jazz Bridal Brides on the same day meh and all with the same tastes? Argh...so unlucky! Yvonne was very nice, and told us that there would be 2-3 new rom dresses in July. No choice, we had to come back again. We left feeling frustrated...

Our second appointment didn't turn out well. The new dresses were disappointing. I don't know, maybe the designs were not that bad, but really, they looked terrible on me. Perhaps the only good news was that the bubble dress was available as the bride who had initially chosen it picked another one in the end. And so, of course, I stuck to this, the better looking dress of the lot. Still, I couldn't hide my disappointment and feeling of sadness. Dear of course realised it, and was so sweet that he offered to buy me a dress instead, his sense was that there was no point wearing a dress that was not my top choice. All he wanted was me to be happy. I was touched. But I didn't want to, as this would mean spending more money than we intended to. Anyhow, I do quite like the bubble dress...

Last sunday night, one more week to my rom, I received a call from Yvonne. I couldn't believe my ears when she said "Do you still want the flowy dress? The bride who initially wanted it postponed her wedding. I know you really like it, that's why I called you." I couldn't hide my excitement and shouted: "Yes, I want!" That's it, heaven's on my side, I still get my first choice afterall.

Well since I'm not going to wear the bubble tube dress anymore, I guess I can show the pic that I secretly took in the dressing room ya? Shhhh.....
