The Potential Sin Po Po Bride

After some postponements, I finally made the appointment to select my gowns. My entourage comprised my mum, 2 of my aunts and my 3 year old niece. And just in case you're wondering why I had so many people present, it was to prevent the "Ah-lian" in me from surfacing, which could potentially turn the wedding into a nightclub performance. Of course, RT was there too, and I think he was greatly relieved that I had my aunts and mom involved in the decision making process. To the niece, every piece was "Eeee, so ugly la!"

I eventually settled for a gown that had everyone's concensus. I liked it, but I couldn't understand why everyone didn't like the other two I'd shortlisted - one had an extremely pretty sequinned bodice, but with too many roses on the lower half that resembled unsightly patches (which i quite liked actually); the other had a simple plain bodice with a poofed up ken ken skirt that resembled a tiered cake or a concert curtain (I quite like the curtain effect). "Cannot la, like Barbie doll's clothes", "Like those Sin Po Po outfits you know" were some of the comments.

Nonetheless, after 2 hours of trying various gowns, I decided on the bridal gown and the evening gown. And it felt like I'd gotten a major part of the preparations done. But it just feels like it, cos I know there's still a whole lot more things that need to be done.

To Dr Lee who couldn't make it today, they didn't allow me to take pictures...
