It was just last year that I bought mine, so I can feel your joy!!!
I like the veil look from underneath--that's how I did mine too!!

Just a tip: I bought my dress from a boutique, and then got all of my accessories from ebay!! Veil, tiara, two sets of jewelry (that I didn't wear), garter, and so much more--I even got stuff for my favors on ebay--there are some fantastic shops for bridal stuff on there--I paid $20 for my veil, and $16 for my tiara!!!! It really helped me save a lot of money!!!

Thank you so much for sharing--when is the wedding??
I hadn't thought of eBay! Thanks for the idea. You didn't find it difficult to find something not seeing it in person? I've been to plenty of bridal websites that sell tiaras and veils, but I'm so afraid of just going by the picture and having it turn out looking entirely different in real life. (Reason being, I thought I had my bridesmaids dresses all picked out until I actually saw it in real life and it was hideous and not at all what it looked like in the picture. It's kind of made me a little scared to buy anything else just by the picture on a website.)

I had an offer from a friend of my mom's friend whose son got married a couple years ago. His wife wore a cathedral length veil and offered to let me borrow it (or have it, I don't know). But I'm so short, and I think a cathedral length on me would look ridiculous.

The wedding is June 5, 2004 - or 7 months and 28 days OR 241 days. (But I'm not counting!) I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
