Most of us are experiencing the unpleasant consequences of the Global Financial Crisis that started in 2008. Many people have lost their jobs, their homes, many have migrated to other more prosperous countries, such as Australia and Canada, to work and make a better life for themselves and their families. It is a very sad situation that creates instability, stress and fear for the future.
However, that does not mean that life has stopped. Not at all! People are still creating families and are still getting married and have babies. May is the month that the Wedding Season begins. Fear not my ladies!! You don't need to spend a fortune to a dress that you will wear for a couple of hours and never again in your lifetime. The high-street retailers have some very beautiful alternatives for you that you can still wear after the big event. Besides, it is not a custom anymore for the wedding dress to pass over to the next generation, so keep it affordable and wear it again!
