~Wedding gown fitting~

It's a Friday today, Ben and I took one day off for our wedding gown fitting. We arrived at the bridal gallery around 11.30am, together with my mom and sister Porsche.

The first thing is to search through every single piece of gown and select your preferred type before trying them on. All of us went like mad flipping through all the gowns and started staking those selected ones on the couch. Our hands got pretty tired flipping through a couple of hundreds gowns.

Right before I try on the gowns, I asked the consultant if Ben gets to try on any suit and only found out that he doesn't get to try on anything today! Poor ben~~~ as I made him put on a shirt and black pants thinking he gets to try out something today too. (",) It's so good being a woman! Man will have to put on whatever to match us! kakakaka!

While I was trying on my gown, Ben and my sister took turns to snap photos for me/us. I wanted to capture the moment as trying wedding gown is a very important milestone in the entire wedding preparation!

After trying countless type of wedding gowns, I finally decided to go with one strapless A-line Ivory gown and another strapless mermaid gown with a very nice train. It was about 2pm and we were drop-dead tired, esp myself! I still have 2 evening gowns to choose. I didn't pay much attention to the evening gown as both of us wanted our wedding album to be very simple and plain. The consultant keeps stressing that it's going to be super-duper plain hence I tried on about 4 pieces and selected 2 from there. It was 4pm when we left the gallery after making another 30% payment.

Guess what~~! I'm going back next Thursday to give some serious attention to my evening gown as I didn't really like the one I choice. I also called the consultant to replace the A-line gown with a designer gown which has an extended train! After looking through the photos taken at the fitting, I also start to like another wedding gown, so I might consider taking that too! ^-^

It's an extremely wonderful experience trying on gowns, it makes you feel like a princess! =D
