The most beautiful thing I'll ever wear


We're planning our wedding.
It's only one month since L asked me to marry him in Paris, but we're not the kind of people who wait and plan and dream. We do things.
It took us three days from the first time we met 'til we changed relationship status on Facebook. It took me four days to move from Stockholm to Gothenburg. An it took me a month to move into his apartment.
You hear. We don't do things slowly.
So therefore, we don't plan to plan our wedding for 18 months, or ever six, as it seems right now. We want to do this and not wait our whole life.
This is my dress, it's 40's vintage and I found it in a shop here in Gothenburg, and for the first time ever, something in a vintage store fitted perfectly from the beginning. It'll need some stitches and some buttons, but then, it's more than perfect.

A dress I'll never wear

I found this dress in a vintage shop. I was looking for a great dress to wear at a masquerade. And I found this. I loved it, but wanted my boyfriend to have a look too, so I asked him to meet me in the shop later that day. He loved it to. So I decided, I had to have it. The girl in the shop smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen,
and she said: Oh, it's a lovely dress!
I answered: It sure is! And good I finally found one.
She replied: Oh, when is the big date?
I answered, quite confuzed: Tomorrow night.
She the said: Oh, then you are very lucky you found a dress.
That's when I realize it's a wedding dress.
My boyfriend and I have bought a wedding dress for the wedding which isn't coming. At least not before he propose to me (which ha still haven't, and we bought the dress in December 2011).
I pay for the dress and walk home, hand in hand with my boyfriend.
And I wore a black Downton Abbey-inspired dress the other night instead. The wedding dress is still in the closet waiting for someone to get married. I'm thinking of starting a bride's rental shop. This will be my favorite.
