Well finally after 12 yrs, we decided it was time to tie the knot and so the search began. I didn't want one with a train or a big skirt but then I tried some on and the bigger they got, the more I liked them. I tried the Victoriana on and fell in love. I teamed it with a large under skirt and long veil and I loved the look. It totally blew my husband away as I am not usually so girly.
