Bride and GroomBride

I’m following the example of Michelle’s blog , and Thea’s (the one who started it all!) by sharing a couple of pics of my wedding dress. No digital cameras back then so I have scanned these from our official wedding album. Yes, in May it will be 20 years as you can probably tell from the big shoulders, and the amount of crystals, lace, pearls, beading and other decoration on my gown!

I bought my gown second-hand through the Trading Post – after years of trying on gowns at bridal stores just for the fun of it (though always with an “engagement ring” on my left hand LOL), I knew I wanted a mermaid style fishtail gown to show off my slender figure. Alas, 20 years on, I can’t even zip it over my hips let alone any further … but I was probably too skinny then anyway. Twenty years and twenty kilos later … but as I weighed less than 50 kilos (and in fact less than what my 15 year old son weighs) it’s not as bad as it sounds!

Even though fashions have changed considerably, I wouldn’t change a thing. I felt like a fairy princess and would still choose that gown – and the groom too!!! LOL

Feel free to play along and share one of your wedding pics on your blog … or maybe even enter a pic from your own (or a friend’s!) wedding, of you looking glam, into our covergirl comp which closes on 28 February … great prizes up for grabs so check out the previous post for details!

Lovely! I remember dreaming about dresses like that… then I got married some 7 years or so later and styles had changed a little.
So pretty – thanks for sharing.

You look so good in that first photo. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in the background there’s some bloke sneaking a peak at you. I’d watch him. He looks a bit too smooth.

mmm, perhaps I should do the same on my blog! We’ll be getting to the 20 year mark at the end of next year. Great photos you’ve shared.
