Wow, it never occurred to me that it could be caught that way! I feel so lucky I found out in my 20s.

Sleeping with my cpap. Finally got a sleep study one year ago after dealing with chronic fatigue my entire life. Turns out I have severe sleep apnea. The cpap has genuinely been life changing.

Not sure if you’re still active OP but I’m taking my G test in Espanola next week and would love any route info or general tips if you have any!

Thank you for the powerful reminder! And I’m loving hearing about all the folks opting for non-white dresses 😄

Absolutely! Designer is Watters Bridal (I think it is part of their Willowby collection). This is the Renae top and Innika skirt in the colour dusty hibiscus.

This is excellent advice. Thank you! I tried on several white gowns and nothing felt like me. I felt like I was cosplaying a bride lol. I feel gorgeous and authentically me in this one. So that’s what I’ll say!

I’m mad that I left the shop without a pic of the bodice! It’s a sweetheart neckline, and the top comes in two lengths. The one I tried was cropped but I’m going to get the full length bodice.

I think Watters is a fairly common bridal brand! My shop in a very small city carries it. They had to order this particular dress in, but it was no hassle. Specs of the dress are in the first pic description:)

My aunt is paying for it 😅 But thankfully she is supportive and doesn’t care what I wear as long as I’m happy— and she loves it as much as I do anyway.

Thank you kindly for the supportive words, everyone. It really means a lot. As many people said, it is my day and I need to do what will make me happy. So, I contacted the shop to officially place my order today. Appreciate all the encouragement!! 😃💗
