I just had my final wedding dress fitting!
It was a surreal experience yet again for me.  I can’t believe that I’m the bride and not just organizing someone else’s wedding.  I hope I can shake off my daze so I can remember and enjoy every single moment of our wedding days.

I brought my veil and tiara with me to try on with the dress.  My veil is a two tier fingertip-length veil with crytals lining the edges.  It was another eBay purchase.  I got it for $75.  This same veil with less crystals was $300 at the bridal salon where I purchased my dress.  Once I got into my dress, I pulled the blusher over my face.  After a few minutes, I was starting to feel hot and uncomfortable.  I don’t think I would be able to spend over an hour and a half hot under a veil.  In addition, I couldn’t really see through the tulle mesh.  It’s not a super fine tulle mesh so it’s not almost transparent.  However, I do want to go down…

Have you ever entered a wedding ceremony venue and got confused whether to sit on the left or the right side?  Perhaps you were lucky to have an usher help seat you by asking you if you’re from the Bride’s side or the Groom’s side.  Traditionally, in many cultures, the Bride’s side is the Left Side and the Groom’s side is the Right Side.

There are two tales why this is so.   In Chinese influenced cultures, the female bridal party members stay to the left of the male members.  This is in keeping with the “yin” and “yang” principle.  Female energy is “yin” and male energy is “yang”.

Another old story is that the bride has to stay at the groom’s left side so that he is free to draw his sword with his right side to defend against jealous suitors who are trying to steal his beloved.  Hmmm… what if the groom is left handed???
