The Search for the Perfect Dress: Found!

One of the reasons we decided to come back early from Manchester, was to attend an appointment Lisa had made at The Wedding Shop in Fulham at 3pm. Now, this wasn't just any appointment - it was the annual Vera Wang sale! It's a one day only annual sale where you can get your very own Vera Wang gown for a much more affordable price. So Lisa and I decided to brave the mayhem in the hope that we might find The Dress. After a short adventure to find the place, we were pleased to discover that there were still plenty of dresses hanging on the racks (being 3pm we thought that all the good stuff may be gone already). What we had already learnt is that what might look ordinary on the rack, can look amazing when on so Lisa tried everything available in her size. And that's when we struck it lucky! The search for the perfect dress is over! It's going to be an amazing dress - what I'd always hoped she'd get - it's just perfect... and it's Vera Wang! So she handed over Ben's credit card.... we'll be back in 6 months for the fittings!

Now you'll all just have to wait until October to see how perfect!

We caught the tube home and I left Lisa at Victoria and changed to the Central Line as I was meeting Matt's sister Megan for dinner. I met Megan at Oxford Circus and we had a stroll around Oxford Street - that is one long street! We then made it to St Christopher's Place, had dinner there and caught up on her life in London (acutally Haslemere to be more accurate). She appears to be really enjoying it and the school seems like a great place to work. Here were are outside Carluccios:


After dinner Megan had to get the train back to Haslemere so we said goodbye at Waterloo. And with the stress of buying the dress over - I've got 2 weeks in London with Lisa to enjoy!
