Quite literally Vira Wong

So I purposefully haven’t discussed the wedding very much on here because a) it’s not until 2011, so it’s far too early, if I start now, my personality is doomed, b) there are certain people, who if I even start to mention the word, barely hear the ‘w’ before they start rolling their eyes and c) we know where we’re doing it all, and who is doing it all, but no one wants more than a preliminary booking at this stage.

So this has so far been a wedding free zone, and will remain so for a while longer. However, I have to tell you about this. My mother has discovered that several charities have specialist bridal shops. And wouldn’t it be AMAZING if I could get a dress from one of them, think of the GOOD I would be doing? Now on the one hand, I totally agree, my willingness to dress myself in other people’s donations is well documented, but I don’t know, it’s my wedding… I wanted to wear something so beautiful I never want to take it off, my dream dress, my show stopper. I have visions of cathedral veils, delicate lace, beautiful, floating loveliness. I have to be honest with you, when I looked on the Oxfam website and investigated their bridal collection, that is not exactly what I saw:

I think Oxfam and I are going to have to have a serious chat before I commit to anything.
