we really are not doing the 'wedding thing' just going to the registry office, no guests, lunch afterwards

I really want to wear just a sweet summer tea dress kind of thing so what do you think of this

If you're a size 8 with small norks and long legs then you could wear a sack cloth and look fab. That dress is very pretty. Congrats!!

are you quite slim? I think the only danger with dresses like that is that they can make you look a bit preggers.

I really like it. We're doing the exact same thing in a couple of weeks and I have literally no idea what I'm wearing so I'm v impressed that you have actually chosen something so nice and bargainous. At this rate, I'm going to end up wearing jeans.

Gorgeous dress!

You will look stunning! You could spend a little extra on fab sandals and underwear.

very pretty dress

was in monsoon on thursday and they had a couple of nice white sundresses, mostly size 8 in their sale. might be worth a look if you have one local.

yes katz i got one of those in Monsoon y'day (am also size 8) but now can't find any on the website . if you have a branch handy it might be worth a look. Also bargain territory, mine cost £27.50 even tho it was marked at £40

If your DP is appy for you to spend more why not splash out on some gorgeous accessories, say a lovely necklace, shoes and bag?
