and if so, what does the label say? Like, Jimmy Choos say Jimmy Choo London - does MB put a city on his label?

yeah I thought that a while back mv,its memories of the day.. Makes me feel better. Thanks .
I did have my dress cleaned though...Guess I had some mad idea that when our dd arrived she may want it when she marries... Yeah right, like I wanted to wear my mums 1970's wedding dress

cod,bog off

shhhh · 09/09/2008 22:38

letthem, is that really your dress..? When did you marry..? I used that dress for ideas for my wedding...! In fact that dress is in my idea album!

Wanted that dress but settled on a plain coloured one being made and instead my bridesmaids dresses were fuschia and I had oriental lilies in my bouquets etc..
How bizarre..!

Look at your long legs and all round gorgeousness. you don't need those shoes- just wear flip-flops and give them to me instead- now there's a love.

shhhh · 09/09/2008 22:43

lol mv..

I thought you were married recently letthem,I was 2004.I agree, its bliss .

5 inch heels, not long legs - like you, would claim to be stumpy of leg. Certainly hefty of thigh, not even those shoes hide that sodding waste of money

shhhh - wedding photo in album on profile
gosh am really putting myself about tonight. I'll be flashing the neighbours next

letthem,I can't believe you had the dress I nearly had! Esp given its so unique.!

OMG,hefty thigh..you.... You are stunning..

Megglevache · 09/09/2008 22:50

LTEC I think you must have those circus mirrors in your house.

Can you add me so that I can drool see your shoes. I have requested.

shhhh · 09/09/2008 22:50

think mn is running slow tonight..I keep posting way after the last post .

Opppss at the mix up.! Marriage is hard word BUT imo rewarding.

Megglevache · 09/09/2008 22:50

Before you flash at your neigbours that is.

LetThemEatCake · 09/09/2008 22:56

we are friends Meggles!!

sshhhh ... no, I am joking, it is lovely. I leeeerve my husband and children so much, I have to say. I never though that I cared about getting married (we were together 5 years before we got hitched) but I love it.

And worth it to be able to wear that dress. I even walked down the aisle by myself because I did not want my dad/ anyone detracting from my dress LOL

OP posts:
shhhh · 09/09/2008 22:57

lol.! Im still in shock...

Megglevache · 09/09/2008 22:58

oH sssssssssssssOB, WHAT GORGEOUS CHILDREN YOU HAVE!

And those shoes. What did they say when you were having your pic taken in the shop. i would have thought the sales assistnats woudl be so snippy

CountessDracula · 09/09/2008 22:58

I am fascinated by the concept of an "idea album"
Pls elaborate...

LetThemEatCake · 09/09/2008 23:00

it is weird. But that dress has been nothing but weirdness for me. I could write a book on how weird it's been,and how I ended up getting it, and how I first saw it, and how I ended up having to interview the designer for work ... it's one of those dresses. Magic.

Can I see your wedding pics please?

OP posts:
shhhh · 09/09/2008 23:02

idea album= book/folder that contained all my ideas for our wedding..Pictures from magazines of flowers I love, Cake ideas, dresses that have bits I love, Ideas for favours..everything that I love from different weddings...

Then I used these ideas to put plans togther for various things...

Meggles - the assistant sneered "your first pair of Louboutins?"

and I flicked my ponytail and said "yes, first of many"

my friend reckons I should have requested a loyalty card, can you imagine!! buy 5, get the 6th free!!

shall we petition Mr Louboutin to set up such a scheme?

shhhh · 09/09/2008 23:04
