"Ahhh!!!" Angel shrieked excitedly, whole running off.
"What's wrong with her?" Delmas asked in confusion.
Chen Lihua took her sight off Angel as she turned to look at Delmas with a smile. "She is excited, and I'm sure she has gone to notify the others about my dress."
Delmas nodded and said, "Alright, let's go."
When they approached the door, Delmas told her to shut her eyes for a surprise that was awaiting.
"What if I trip?" Chen Lihua asked.
"I am here to guide you," Delmas answered with a smile, and so Chen Lihua shut her eyes and allowed Delmas to lead her into the room.
When they got into the room, Chen Lihua was anxious, and so couldn't wait to see her dress and what it looked like.
Delmas gave a few instructions to his assistants before telling Chen Lihua to open her eyes.
"Lily, you can open your eyes now," Delmas said with a proud smile.
This was the moment Chen Lihua had been waiting for because she knew she wouldn't be disappointed, she opened her eyes slowly.
Lo and behold when Chen Lihua opened her eyes, she saw what her eyes and mind couldn't imagine.
She couldn't believe that what she was seeing was her very own customized wedding dress.
In awe, Chen Lihua glanced at her dress, and then at Delmas. "Is this my dress?"
"Mmhmm. Do you like it?" Delmas asked with a smile.
"What are you saying? I love it," Chen Lihua said as she gazed at her wedding dress in astonishment.
The sparkling Swarovski-studded gown features a three-meter train of intricate petal layers. The dress took over 1,000 hours to finish and was handmade by 15 skilled artisans.
"We started from the design specifications and made some embroidery samples and fittings," Delmas said.
Chen Lihua walked close to her dress and ran her hands on some part of the trails.
Delmas smiled before explaining proudly, "The gown has painstakingly intricate crystal embroidery on every petal and layer of the train. Each of the petals had to be attached by hand. Also, the exquisite work on the wedding gown was all made by skilled hands."
"This dress is so beautiful," Chen Lihua said emotionally as she walked around to look at the dress.
"Do you think I can walk in this dress?" Chen Lihua asked worriedly because the dress looked heavy because of its a long train, and plus the over 200,000 Swarovski crystals embedded on them.
Delmas smiled as he understood her worry. "The dress may look heavy, but it floats," he said.
"That's awesome!" Chen Lihua said with a smile.
"You can try your dress now," Delmas said to her with a smile before assigning his female artisans to help Chen Lihua into the dress.
As the dress was placed on a mannequin, it took a lot of effort for the artisans to get it out.
"Wow!" Chen Lihua exclaimed as she watched them use some efforts to get her dress off the mannequin.
"Delmas, you are really great at what you do. I sent you some of the designs of the dress I wanted, and you added a wonderful touch to it. Thank you so much," Chen Lihua said happily.
"You are welcome, Lily," Delmas said before leaving the room, so the female artisans can help Chen Lihua into her dress.
It took almost 20 minutes for Chen Lihua to be completely dressed.
While in the dress, Chen Lihua felt that she was in heaven. She has never seen a wedding dress as beautiful as this.
While looking at herself in the mirror, Chen Lihua felt that she was in a dream. The dress fitted her so well that there wasn't a need for any amendments whatsoever.
"I feel like taking loads of pictures in this dress," Chen Lihua said out loud.
"No, you can't! You don't want your dress to leak to the public before tomorrow, do you?" Delmas asked as he entered the room and approached her.
"No, I don't want that," Chen Lihua said with a slight smile on her face.
Which bride would want the pictures of her wedding dress to leak before the actual wedding day?
No one.
"Then, be good. You can wait until tomorrow to take lots of pictures. By this time tomorrow, you should be at the altar, saying your wedding vows," Delmas reminded her as he touched a few places on her dress.
Chen Lihua blushed profusely upon hearing what he said.
"OMG! This dress is beautiful," Caro said as she walked in with the others, dressed in their bridesmaid's dresses.
Chen Lihua heard Caro's voice and tried to turn with a smile on her face, as she couldn't wait to show off her dress to them, but she couldn't easily turn, and so her legs got tangled up with the dress in the process.
"Easy...easy," Delmas said as he and the female artisans helped her to untangle the dress.
The female artisans helped hold up her dress in other for her to turn.
"Wow! You look like an angel," One of the girls said wide-eyed.
"Thank you," Chen Lihua said with a smile.
In less than ten seconds, she was surrounded by her bridesmaids, her foreign friends, and her home friends.
But they didn't get too close to her for fear of stepping on the dress.
"You girls look beautiful as well," Chen Lihua said while staring at the dresses they were putting on.
"We know," Angle said while fluttering her eyelashes.
"Angel came to tell us that you were about to try on your wedding dress, so we decided to rush over to see for ourselves. And here you are looking stunning and breath-taking. Ah! I'm so jealous," Kendall said while looking at the dress with a big smile.
"Not just stunning, she looks like 'Her Royal Majesty' (HRM)," One of them said.
"I know Lily, she cannot for any day, slack with her dresses, talk more of the dress for her big day, not possible," Gigi said, applauding Chen Lihua.
"I know, and that's why I said we should all dress in our outfits to go see her," One of them said with a proud smile.
