The dress I wore was the first dress I ever liked from the first bridal magazine I ever read. We went to a bridal show eighteen months before the wedding and the dress was in a fashion show there. It was perfect and I never looked for another.

The dress was a strapless white matte Italian satin gown with exquisite Cornelli embroidery. It was an A-line silhouette and had an attached chapel length train. I chose a three tier white veil with white ribbon braiding around the edge. It was a cathedral length veil that sat just past my train. The veil was made of two layers; one was short and the other long. That was so I could take off the long one later. In my hair I wore a silver daisy tiara with diamante petals and pearls in the center. I also had matching French pins and earrings.
