The Bride's dress

I chose my wedding dress today. It was the second dress I tried on and I only tried one more on after that. I was obviously very lucky to fall in love with a dress so quickly and didn't need to go to any other dress shops.

The dress is by Phil Collins (not the musician / singer). Unfortunately the only photographs of it on the internet show it in pink (ugh!):

Still, I'm sure that there'll be hundreds, if not thousands, of photographs taken of it in ivory on our wedding day.
