WEDDING GOWN

I know it's probably too early to start shopping has anyone start looking at gowns to get an idea of what you might like to have.
Since I was originally slated to have a 2008 wedding I went bridal shopping last year and found my dream gown. The downside is that because the wedding date has been changed I still have to order my gown. I learned from the bridal stores that they receive a list from the manufacturer letting them know what gowns will be discontinued. So, I will have to order my gown soon and have the bridal store hold it. I want to buy it before it hits that list. I looooooove my gown and wouldn't change it for the world.
