I was starting to feel a little desperate.
In 2024 alone I visited 17 different countries, leaving the UK at least once every month.
So, I took my shopping on the road with me.

There, I squeezed myself into sample dresses even smaller than the ones in London.
The delicately draped silk chiffon moved naturally as I walked, and the design felt special while remaining modern.
I felt hopeful that I could be a bride after all.
I looked up, and both my sister and my mum were crying.
As we walked in, I noticed the Helix gown from New Zealand designer Hera Couture on a mannequin.
It all felt extremely serendipitous.
Not all of my shopping trips were successful.
It was the perfect dress to live out all myMamma Miawedding dreams.
