... my wedding dress that is. So for those that don't know me I got married in May this year and have just sold my dress on trademe (our equivalent of ebay). The girl that bought it was lovely but if I'm honest my gorgeous dress didn't really suit her (not that I'm biased or anything) and it was also too small for her but hey ho I suppose if she is happy with it thats the main thing. When they went to get the cash out I had a little cry but H did a good job of being sympathetic even though really he's probably thinking I am an over emotional nutter!

Deep down I know it makes sense as we need the money to do work on our house and as the dress was more expensive than the original amount budgeted I had agreed at the time that I would sell it on after the wedding ..... its just the emotional attachment I formed to it. Anyway sure I'll be fine tomorrow.

So here are a few pics in remembrance of it (sorry a little self indulgent). Also probably a good time to say good bye to everyone. ? Have hung around a while but have now introduced myself on BT and I think i will be hanging out there now. Thanks to everyone for all the help I had over here on WP. Hope all you Brides to be enjoy the planning and have fabulous wedding days. I will be popping back every now and again.

    Aw thanks Bluewater, I did love it too.

    I will still lurk and probably check out the awards as I guess a few OM's will probably be back. I will still pop over every now and again and post if I can help but will probably just be on BT a bit more ........... have had this broody urge come over me ?

    Aw goodbye diamonds and your gorgeous dress. It makes sense to let it go to a good home but its a tough one. At the end of the day it comes down to practicalities doesn't it - the money is more use than a gorgeous dress hanging up that you will never wear again. Its sad but its true.

    Best of luck with the baby plans and make sure you check back now and again ❤️

    That is such a pretty dress and you look great in it! No wonder it is hard to sell it on.

    BTW, where did you get your veil from?

    Thanks ladies!

    Flutterbye - I had my veil made here in New Zealand, then a HIB on here (Sheirre) made the orchid to attach to it. I loved the veil too, still have that at least.
