Would anyone like to go wedding dress shopping with me?

Just that, really! I haven't told anyone I'm getting married yet. It's at a bridal shop near Grimsby/Scunthorpe on Saturday morning if anyone would like to assist. I have no idea what I'm doing!

Ah I'm too far away!

ImListening · 05/02/2018 07:34

Too far away also but bumping this for you!

Damn cricket! Damn swimming!

I could get to Scunny easy enough, but DH sadly can’t take 2 children to different places at the same time.

Chaosandmadness · 05/02/2018 07:35

Eek how exciting! I'm near there (sort of) and could clear my morning for shopping. I don't need an excuse to shop to be honest

ImListening · 05/02/2018 07:48

Let us know how you get on! Fingers crossed Chaos can help

Aww what a lovely thread.

What a lovely request. Wish I lived closer.

I'm too far away unfortunately.
But I think that I would make a good wedding dress shopping entourage member because I watch every episode of Say Yes To The Dress.

If you posted pictures on the thread of the dresses (obviously not showing your face!) I'm sure you'd get tons of responses and feedback. So like virtual dress shopping.

Top tips - try on all shapes of dresses so you can see what suits you and then narrow it down by style. Don't ever buy a dress without sleeping on it.

Sorry I have been at work all day. I will be there! Send me the address 😁

Just to counteract a previous post. I tried on three dresses then went it another shop. Tried on one dress but all I could think about was a dress in shop one. Went back and bought it. No need to sleep on it. When you know you know.
