What Your Dress Says About You!

So are you ladies choosing the perfect gown for your big day? Go ahead and take a look on what these dresses reveal about you.

1. Fairytale - The bride who wears this style must be the kind of girl who knows exactly what she wants. You believe in fantasies and now you've found your prince charming and you're living the dream.
2. Short - You are unconventional and strong minded. You know what you want. You are independent and you have a free-thinking spirit.
3. Fishtail - Uber-confident and straightforward, you know who you are inside and out, and are comfortable showing the world.
4. Lace - This is the most traditional. It is the look for the bride who demands to be taken seriously. Certainly, you are very serious about your wedding. Lace is a safe option and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
5. Modern - The diva dress-fashion forward, cutting edge, glamorous. It is more of a work of art and the most revealing of a bride's personality. It reflects her sense of individuality.

Chua-Ma Nuptials ♥

So we attended this christian wedding last December 17, 2011 which was held @ Sofitel. The ceremony started at around 4pm. And when the bride(Ahngel) started to walk down the aisle, i can see it in her eyes that she was nervous, anxious and happy. She was having mixed emotions. Probably due to the hassles and preparation like the gowns (w/c were delivered late the night before), the change of venue (due to the rain), and all that other frustrations. However, i know that in the back of her mind she was saying, "THIS IS IT". Finally after a year of planning, 2 years of being together, they're finally tying the knot. The bride was crying, the groom was crying, even i was crying! Its just so heart-warming to see a couple getting married and believing in marriage. You can see that they are indeed, truly in love with each other. Congratulations again and Best Wishes to Mr. & Mrs. Chua!
