Our Simple, Intimate Wedding | DIY | Wedding Story     These days everyone is looking to save cost and we definitely did that with our wedding. We had a wonderful time planning, shopping and decorating.  Most importantly it was the most memorable, magical moment with family and friends.  Mr and Mrs DELORY for life!      However, just one thing:   Due to a delay, I did not receive my pink wedding dress.    It was not easy shopping for a dress last minute because it was hard to find a dress that I liked and considering I am short adjusting a traditional wedding dress was not an option due to time constraints, however I found an alternative; a pink jacket, white top and a skirt.  Not what I bargained for but after three hours of searching I opted for that outfit. I also fell in love with the pink jacket and it was an outfit I could wear again to another occasion.  Hopefully my pink dress will arrive in time for our second celebr...

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
