(Gosh the spillchucker allowed scrumptious. My family have used it for ever but I didn't realise that it was a 'real' word!). The dress is a delight (I would have expected nothing less) but (and a true friend is always honest) perhaps I could support the suggestion that white shoes contrast a bit too much and contribute to your own thoughts on the subject. Overall though I'm so glad that all went well and you enjoyed yourselves.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-63455203431135053642013-03-26T08:00:27.942+01:002013-03-26T08:00:27.942+01:00Thank you, Fi!
