I’m totally in love with the Now and Forever White Pleated Cutout Maxi Dress!!!! That is MY DREAM GOWN!!!
I have not had the best of luck with marriages or relationships (been married 3 times) I’m now 51, I’ll be 52 September 27th and I FOUND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY BEST FRIEND, MY CHAMPION, MY ONE TRUE LOVE, MY SOULMATE!
Christopher and I met 03/07/2020 and it was a whirl wind romance just like in the movies, but now neither one of us could see life without the other!! We PLAN to be married between Christmas and New Years Eve this year 2021, but life for both of us has been an experiment in terror! 😅
I would give anything to be able to afford this beautiful gown so that when I walk in and he looks at me the way he does, my misfortunes would have all been worth it to be marrying him and spending the rest of our lives together!
