Gown-Fitting - Episode 1
Posted on November 4th, 2007 at 9:00 pmEvon and I went for our first gown-fitting session this afternoon at Yvonne’s Creative. Both of us were really excited about the whole thing and in our minds, we thought “Finally, it’s our turn! Hee Hee.”
As usual, we were late. Yes I know it’s a bad habit. But then, what to do? House-keeping is a compulsory activity for the both of us on every weekend. Since we were out yesterday, we just got to get everything done today. Our appointment was at 4 p.m. We arrived a quarter past 4. I supposed it wasn’t too bad after all to think that we got out of the house at 3.50 p.m. Thankfully, we lived near to town and we managed to hop onto a cab when we reached the main road.
When we arrived at Yvonne’s Creative, the shop was rather crowded. There were a few couples who were also doing their gown-fitting. Some of them were into their final round of fitting and that literally meant their “Big Day” would be just round the corner. Evon communicated her preferences and likings to the bridal executive. It didn’t take long before the executive pulled out a collection of gowns from the rack and Evon was off to the fitting room trying them out.
When Evon walked out from the fitting room, I was like … WOW …
- - - Guys, you must be thinking I am exaggerating. I used to think that way too, especially after having watched those soap-operas and Hong Kong Cantonese drama serials. Yet, at that moment, my mind was blank. I knew of nothing except that Evon really looked lovely and beautiful in the wedding gown ( Evon’s gonna be at cloud-9 if she sees this ) - - -
Evon tried out 6 wedding gowns in total. It turned out that the first piece and the last piece seemed to be the best fit. Hence, it’s for us, or rather, more for her, to decide which gown to choose. So eventually, we decided to go for the last piece because we thought the design was more trendy and would give her a more natural appeal.
Okay, so we’ve chosen her first gown. The next session will be the fitting of her made-to-measure evening gown and the tea-dress. I supposed it’s also my turn to try on the suit.
One thing that really amused me was I ended up making the second payment without even trying on anything. Only measurements taken for my pants. So, I guessed it’s true. When it comes to wedding, the groom is only there to pay $$$. Urghhhh!
“That moment in a woman’s life is when she’s in her wedding gown.” ….
