The dress of my dreams (off the shoulder, very slim number) looked bloody awful as I have quite wide shoulders and narrower hips. I was devastated when I tried one on, but had to admit that it made me look like a rugby player!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-40660810918040813072010-04-17T16:55:47.197+01:002010-04-17T16:55:47.197+01:00This sounds like one of those "horrid dress r...This sounds like one of those "horrid dress rehearsal equals great performance" stories, as if the wedding was a bit traumatic but the marriage survives 20 years, that can't be all bad!NFAHhttp://notfromaroundhere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-76305125572032865432010-04-17T16:44:36.304+01:002010-04-17T16:44:36.304+01:00well done- and congratulations to you bothwell done- and congratulations to you bothLakeland Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263946096580997595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-74122764939096812262010-04-17T15:39:50.879+01:002010-04-17T15:39:50.879+01:00Don't get me started in the US Embassy.
