almost ready

when i sat down with lya armovit to iron out bridal couture, i thought april 30 would be so far away. but time flies too fast these days and we're only 4 months away from september 10.

lya and the rest of Ready To Wed are even more efficient than my bridal entourage. out of the 3 girls in manila, only 1 was able to fit her dress. since the junior bridesmaid and 1 secondary sponsor are based in vancouver, lya let me bring their unfinished dresses, just in case i want to mail or send the dresses - better than leave them hanging in her shop til september.



as it turns out, lya not only did my gown lining, but did the whole thing as early as now. since it's a new gown (and not one of the RTW gowns), she was pretty excited to see how it would turn out so she assembled the whole thing. and it turned out beautiful. i thought that the haltered neckline would make me look like a mini-bride, but lya was right in saying that it's a better option for me.

after trying out dozens of wedding gowns from bangkok to manila, fitting The Gown has a certain air of finality and reality to it. only 4 more months to go - where did the time go?!
