I luv the heartfelt long letter idea Duffy! Thank you! 
No one hand writes letters anymore and it makes all the more meaningful. It will kinda be a throwback to how we got to know each other as well. We spent 3 months writing each other long emails back and forth every day - it was our way of getting to know each other. But once we got seriously involved, neither one of us had written anything as long and in depth as we used to! So this is a great idea! I will give him this along with the framed engagement picture … and chocolate I think. I know that girl’s are supposed to be obssessed with it but in our case he is the one that is obsessed haha. It will be a simple present …but its the thought that counts right?
Most designers are so expensive in my opinion 
. I havnt even started planning at all but the finances of a shaadi is already starting to stress me out. Do you have similar feelings? I think I just have a really guilty conscious. I am the eldest of five children and my brothers and sister all have to go to college and stuff too. I don’t want to spend loads and loads of money on my shaadi alone. But back to topic - I am definietly in love with Rani Emaans collections. I’m also a fan of the fact that are open to price negotiations and are very accomodating to changes. That is a huge plus. 
Another guppy got her bridal wear from Rani Emaan here in the US branch and she had a great experience with the customer service and stuff too. WHich is awesome. So you are going to have to definietly let the rest of us know about your experience with them when you go to Pakistan 
I’m sure you have mentioned it somewhere else in this thread and I have missed it - but where in Pakistan are you going? If you are going to Lahore - make sure to check out Zardozi! Unfortunately they do not have a website but the stuff there is gorgeous. I bought a formal from them last time I went. They negotiate pricing as well which is convenient. Just make sure they dont find out you are from abroad.
