Hugh and I were on our way back from my son's graduation when we decided to stop in a small town Ontario gift shop. Hugh noticed it first - what should have been MY wedding dress! It would have fit perfectly with our butterfly theme.

It's only too bad that it was 3 years too late and at least 3 sizes too small :rofl: *sigh*

i love that dress! unfortunately, both times i got married, i couldn't afford it, haha!

but i really loved the designs! i've seen another, that's similar, but it had lilac and silver rather than pink and green, and actually had butterfiles that "stood up" on the skirt...it's a Quince gown, and gorgeous, but not my style!

I didn't even think to look or ask about the price. How much is it?

As it was, we married 28 years after we first met, and 5 years after we re- met. :rofl:

Oh wow... :drool: I adore that, so gorgeous! If I were wearing white I would be looking for something just like that!! We're having a butterfly theme too, amongst other things (haha I think I am up to about 4 themes!).

You might be able to find the dress in another size?

I like the first one. If it was shorter, it would make a great summer party dress!

The Monarch dress is so elegant! The one you like is very classy.

LOL re: the doggy costume. I am sure our Lily would only tolerate it for a few moments :)

Yeah there are shorter and/or smaller dresses that are very similar!

Yeah I don't know any dogs that would want to wear it either, but it would be adorable if they did :winktongue:
