In your avatar your smile looks awesome. I am going to have follow your story
Thanks Cosmo! I'll have to post one :) I've shared little tidbits in various posts but I don't think I ever did an introduction. This is a second time around sort of deal due to what I consider relapse - ugh relapse is such a rotten and expensive thing!

I am currently tracking the long and arduous journey of my wedding dress from Victoria, Australia to Ohio, USA... And I get my braces off on July 23rd... a tentative date, but I'm still counting down the days.

Everybody asks, Ken!

I had a seamstress take all of my measurements and e-mailed them to a dressmaker in Australia that I was very very lucky to connect with online. She made the dress according to my measurements in a corset style so that only minimal alterations might be needed. My seamstress will make whatever adjustments are necessary when the dress arrives, and then I will walk down the isle with my gorgeous princess dress and amazingly straight smile!!

Pardon my very badly chapped lips. I've had a terrible cold and I keep forgetting my chapstick at home!

All the space is closing up nicely with my new elastics configuration.

And oh yeah,
MY WEDDING DRESS IS HERE!!!!!!!

I tried it on, but I didn't have anyone to help me lace it up. So it's not entirely on as you can see in the pictures. Still gorgeous, though!

And we also decided a rough design for our cake. I surprised my fiance by not going totally green. It will be the same flavor, but it will taste better without the green marzipan.

Thanks everybody!

I love my dress, I love the cake, but I especially love my new smile!

And Bekah- as SOON as I took my dress out of the bag, the first thing I thought was oh my god someone sewed this?! The fabric is like water, it just slips through your fingers. It is amazing. I cannot imagine wrestling with tens of yards of it. And all of the lace and beading was done by hand, every edge was trimmed out by hand! It is simply stunning...
