“Don’t laugh. All that talk about increased birth rates! Well we are contributing to that figure now and I am due early next year! I’d like to get married before then, but don’t want to make any plans yet, especially re the frock as I have no idea what size I might be! I will start looking online soon to see what’s available.”
Out of the Mouths of (Bridal) Babes... Unsurprisingly, the current topic is what style of wedding will be first choice in 2021 and if there are changes to original plans “Right now, the traditional ballgown (that my mother loves) just doesn’t seem appropriate for a downscaled wedding but a boho number (which I love) certainly is. I had a fairly healthy budget
for the dress and will probably spend less than half of that now and the savings will go towards my honeymoon wardrobe – of course that’s when a honeymoon will be allowed.”

‘Okay, so it took a good while to get over the shock of my dream day vanishing into thin air, but I suppose there have been so many changes in our lives one has to adapt accordingly. Not seeing my fiancé for a good few months has been really hard but with daily skype and zoom sessions I actually feel we have got closer and I have certainly struck up a real relationship with my future in-laws that I didn’t have before. We have rescheduled our wedding for October 2021 – lockdown taught me to be patient – and right now we are thinking small. But I will have my dream dress, whether we end up just with us, and guests on a big screen, or manage to have a proper party.”
