Going against all the advice about holding off on the gown until you’ve chosen a venue, dress shopping is the sides of planning I’ve thrown myself into first and most enthusiastically.
I’ve thrown myself into it wholeheartedly, since trying on gowns is the fewactivities I’m able to thoroughly participate in since our longdistance situation.
