I'm in shock.

This morning I suggested to DP we say "sod it" and book Vegas. We've been toying with it for a while, but I found a good deal on flights/hotel and just want to go. It feels like a now or never point for the wedding we've discussed.

Told my best friend over coffee. Next thing I know I'm standing in a bridal shop "just for a look". 90 mins later, dress, shoes, corset, underskirt bought and out the door.

I can't believe it and can't tell any more RL people, because we're eloping.

Oooh! How exciting!

But yes, we do need to see the dress...

Cinderellamovedout · 02/07/2017 20:14

Thank you all!

Unfortunately dress is living with my best friend to avoid being spotted by fiance, or stealth dog attack. Happened so fast I didn't even get a photo. Will an Internet screenshit work?

I think I'm doing this all backwards. We booked flights yesterday we're officially travelling out on the 16 th July. (2 weeks today!)

*Screenshot. Predictive text hates me.
Not hugely practical, but I really love it.
Chillyegg - we're excited to be avoiding some stress, and to be the only ones who know (well, excluding mumsnet! )

GreenTulips, typo or just very blunt with opinions... ? 😂😂

Congratulations! Your dress is beautiful

What a wonderful way to get married. I've only been married since last year but if I had to do it again (hopefully not- I'm very happy) then I would definitely elope. Have a fabulous time.

Cinderellamovedout · 05/07/2017 03:12

I read Greentulip's post as "isn't that lovely?" rather than what she really wrote! Obviously in a very positive mood!

I'm stupidly exited now. We've booked ceremony and photographer package so it's all starting to feel very real. Thanks for letting me share with you folks. Im not sure it would be a secret still if I hadn't told you.

Fantastic - where's the ceremony?

Rhubarbginisnotasin · 05/07/2017 03:59

Your dress is lovely and you're going to have a fabulous day.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 05/07/2017 04:06

Gorgeous dress! Congratulations, wishing you a wonderful day!
