Gown 1/2

Chris and I went shopping for our wedding attire yesterday and it was a success.  I mean, we got what we wanted...so in that aspect, it was good.  However, I cringed every time I thought about the fact that that's money I could have used towards something better, such as our vacation.

Mind you, we didn't spend a lot.  My formal gown and his suit together were easily 1/3 of what we would have had to pay in stores at the mall.  We had ours tailored made; we chose the fabric, chose the cut........so actually, we got a bargain.

But still, you know...money is money is money.

So, everything I suppose is coming together nicely.  Now, I say "Gown 1/2" or 1/2 of a gown because I will have two gowns.  I will wear one at the beginning of the banquet and another one near the end. 

In fact, here's a side note: Chris keeps tell me that he will bring me to listen to opera or some classical music performance when we are in Europe this summer.  And he said, I can wear one of my gowns for the occasion.  I don't know when and where he came up with this idea of us going to see a show in formal evening wear.....I mean I certainly don't remember saying anything about it being my childhood dream...????

So...LOL...I really don't know where he got that.  But it's super sweet, no? =D
