I think its absolutely gorgeous. Its the promo for next weeks episodes featuring her wedding to Riley. I only watch it sporadically because of DH likes the Big Bang Theory. Just LOVING that dress though.

I agree :)

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 12/10/2011 23:59

Yep, nice dress

BootyMum · 13/10/2011 00:09

I was thinking how rockin' "White Wedding" the song is.

Used to love Billy Idol back in the 80s.

my daughter (11) is trying her best to convince my sister to get that dress for her wedding next year not having much luck though!

GlitterySkulls · 13/10/2011 01:22

i always wanted a black wedding dress. wish i'd went along with it :(

springydaffs · 13/10/2011 09:07

Let's have a look at it then Confused

Here.

I love it. Love the whole trailer, then realised it was for freakin Hollyoaks (I don't watch it) and it killed it a little for me!

I can see that I may well change my mind on wedding renewals and have a black wedding on Halloween one year.

EricNorthmansMistress · 13/10/2011 11:03

I think the trailer is fantastic! Really overblown and dramatic and camp. Sadly hollioaks is a pile of wank but the trailer is great :)

TryLikingClarity · 13/10/2011 12:07

I love it too!

I've been married for years, but am still wistful about having a goth party and a black veil and dress.

Such a good advert!

[hsmile]

caramelwaffle · 13/10/2011 12:12

fill ya' boots

EricNorthmansMistress · 13/10/2011 12:31

I had a black wedding dress. Like this one but black with silver and turquoise appliqued flowers at the neck and down the front like this

(Same shop and same designer)

TryLikingClarity · 13/10/2011 12:35

Lovely!

Maybe I could coax DH into renewing our vows....

OP - YANBU to love it.

DistinctlyMintyMonty · 13/10/2011 15:00

Definitely YANBU!

I wanted black, but settled in the end for very dark red. Love the whole goth wedding style thing (our wedding organiser said ours looked a bit like a Meat Loaf video [hgrin]

stepawayfromtheecclescakes · 13/10/2011 18:03

well how coincidental, I was reading this and an advert for the programme with the dress on came on TV.... Shock but I don't like it .... sorry Smile

ChooChooWowWow · 13/10/2011 19:08

I've never seen Hollyoaks but I love, love, love that trailer. I just played it 3 times.
The dress is stunning.

ToriandHaydensMummy · 19/10/2011 14:57

Well, I entered the competition to win the dress and just got an e-mail from Channel 4 to say I won it!!! I can't believe it!

Just spoke to Jen Metcalfe (Mercedes) on Twitter and she said it's got a 10 meter train on it!!

I think I'll auction it; give half to charity and half to the kids :)

dexter73 · 19/10/2011 14:58

Well done!

ToriandHaydensMummy · 19/10/2011 15:04

Thank you!

I'm never usually lucky enough to win anything, so I'm over the moon!

caramelwaffle · 19/10/2011 23:43

Well done.

carernotasaint · 19/10/2011 23:54

Well done Tori thats fab.

TryLikingClarity · 20/10/2011 08:40

Wow tori, I am sooo jealous!

Did they offer you any size you wanted or is it the dress that she actually wore?

PeachesMelba · 20/10/2011 10:04

Glad I'm not the only one.

Also love her makeup.

ToriandHaydensMummy · 20/10/2011 17:48

It's the dress she actually wore - it's a one of a kind! Size 6/8 I think.

It's listed on eBay on a 10 day auction and the money from it is going to the Against Breast Cancer charity. :)

My skinny friend is coming over tomorrow to model it for me, as having it draped on the stairs when taking pics does it no justice!

I also have a 33ft living room and the train runs the entire length of it. .

It's amazing! x
