    Lots of New Dresses Required!

    Bachelorette Dress

    Rehearsal Dress

    Family Dinner Dress

    Friends Dinner Dress

     

    It’s ok because I can wear these dresses when we go out for dinner on our Honeymoon too!

    And David is giving me dress buying money for my b’day! So I will keep those dresses special and not wear them.

    I will be looking out for pretty dresses at a good price for the next few months.
