Engelska bruda?

Wow, terri, nice dress!

That's what I am hoping for.
On the one hand I could probably come in my bath robe but on the other he has proven to be more conservative regarding all wedding related stuff than I could ever imagine... Don't want to disappoint him... Ahh, I am stupid. If you don't have problems you just make yourself some.

... maybe I should buy a 2nd, more classic gown - after all I only paid 1400 sek so why not get two! :D

Just kidding.

"Fried of the groom" :D That's a good one!

Yes, terri, actual my h2b asked me if I don't want to get a 'spare dress' for the party, just in case I can't move properly or the wedding dress gets too dirty (after all it is March) so I was thinking of this one in light pink as 'party dress': www.1koo.com/wedding/itemdetailp.asp

But that doesn't change the fact that I am not sure about my wedding dress anymore. I know, you are both right, he will be overwhelmed It's just me turning into a bridezilla I guess, I just want it to be perfect and am now starting questioning my own decisions, great. If noone else does, I have to do it myself. :D

By the way, I showed him the spare dress and he loves it. Just wish he wouldn't resist giving me feedback on the actual wedding dress... I am not even allowed to show him a picture. :D

Ok, I stop worrying now, I have a manual for an x-ray machine on the table that wants to be translated...

No, he has strictly forbidden me to show him anything about the wedding dress. I am not even allowed to talk about it/ describe it.

Funny, yes, I am working as a medical technical translator, mainly from German and English into Swedish (sometimes into German too as I am fluent in German, after more than 20 years in Germany ;)) and mainly manuals and software localisation stuff.

Oh, homesickness is awful. Can't you call your family tonight when you come home? And maybe you can get some Glögg and Pepparkakor?

As I still lived in Germany I had Skype contact almost on a daily basis to my family, mainly my parents. Actually, that hasn't changed much although they only live down the hill. :D

Other than in Stockholm the sun has been shining here the whole day. Well, ok, now it is dark but I don't mind - time to switch on all the candle holders.

Right now? Yes - reading here! :) But not for much longer, have to do some shopping for dinner and then the litter boxes want to be cleaned...

It's a shame we all don't live closer to eachother. I bet we all could have a funny night out with our partner, chatting about swenglish things and homesickness!

:D I didn't mean with our partner - I meant all of us + resp. partner! :D

Yes, to have at least this meeting point is great! Though it means I have to work over time (which is my own fault in first place ;)).

Yes, very Swedish indeed. As my brother got married my dad's first comment was sth like "and what is that good for?" :D
