It was beautiful, and altered to fit me perfectly, and I had the shoes I wanted (tennis shoes, glammed up by me) and the veil I wanted (one that I did myself, and the other my sister let me borrow that was hers from her wedding) and all the works. But I was so much more interested in my husband and becoming his wife, nothing else really mattered to me. Ya know, as crazy as it sounds, my wedding dress was not all that important to me.

They always go by package price...usually from S$4000 to S$8000....

It was about $600 and I didn't really like it. My mom was with me and I simply asked her if she would make my dress and she agreed. I think it wound up still costing about $300, mostly because of all the lace that was on it. But I loved the dress, even more because she made it. I remember trying on only 1 dress at a wedding shop.

She was so stressed out all the time. I agree with you...I love simple weddings. My sister’s wedding last March wasn’t a wedding…it was a social event. She was so stressed out all the time.
