  • My name is Selvi Drummond, and I'm getting married on June 1st.

  • Stephen proposed in August and Amagansett.

  • We were hanging out just at our house in Long Island.

  • Stephen at one point at about four o'clock, we're watching TV, and he said he was going upstairs to put his Invisalign in, and he came back downstairs and he had this red little note in his hand and he shoved this note of me and you just looked at me.

  • He said, I'm leaving now.

  • I'm sending you on a scavenger hunt.

  • Don't ask any questions.

  • Don't call me unless you really need something.

  • At that point, to be honest, I realized I thought I knew what was going on.

  • It was more elaborate than anything he'd ever done, and I had a feeling.

  • So I drove myself, too.

  • Montag, at that point had started sort of crying and shaking.

  • I was going like, 85 miles an hour.

  • I have the windshield wipers going and it wasn't raining.

  • I have the side view mirrors tucked in on the truck, and the back flap of the pickup truck was like flapping in the wind.

  • It was the best proposal I ever could have imagined I If I drive something up in my head, it wouldn't have been better.

  • I've always had this wondered why, when men proposed women are just supposed to all of a sudden say yes, I've been waiting, no questions asked.

  • I don't need to think about it.

  • Um, and I love that.

  • I had, like, basically an hour and 1/2 to myself to really think about this, to really let it sink in and think, No, this is what I really want.

  • I've been here for four years and I and I'm really excited.

  • I got back to the house in Amagansett.

  • There was actually a rainbow.

  • I walked into the backyard and he was sitting there.

  • He had flowers and he took the ring and said, Wait, I want to do the thing and got down on one knee said something beautiful.

  • I can remember what he said.

  • He came by when he said it was a lot happening at the moment, and um and asked me to marry him, and I said, Yes, I'm here in Paris doing my final wedding dress fitting with Giambattista Valli.

  • I warn his dresses Before I wore one of his gowns to the Met gala last year, and it was the best I've ever felt.

  • And people told me it was the best I'd ever looked on.

  • I kind of feel like I knew at that moment that when I was going to get married, I would at least want Thio ask him.

  • I didn't know what would happen, but I wanted to ask if he would at least consider sharing something with me.

  • I met dramatise toe at a party in Positano, out at night, and we had an amazing night and time together.

  • And it feels really perfect that we that I'm wearing one of his dresses to my wedding because I think that energy of like it's about finance, about joy.

  • It's about spontaneity.

  • It's about having finding an authentic way.

  • And that's where I met him.

  • That's where I found him.

  • We connected in life, way connected One day, we connected out of the blue, and then we never disconnected.

  • It's funny because I always do what in dresses like in a different way of other people do I do what impresses as a party dress, so I don't really care about the thing that it's a wedding dress and just want to, You know, it's a happy It's in every moment.

  • Let's party together, went in dressing there always something custom e or there is always something like dusty or something conventional.

  • And I always broken this idea because, you know, you can see all the dresses that I did it.

  • I mean, they're always, like, kind of party dresses.

  • So we started with a dress from his most recent couture runway and we had some conversations about it, and we had.

  • I came in and tried that dress on, and we talked about what we would want to fit.

  • This is just came with the pictures from a show that she was sitting from Croats who was saying I wanted this, That's it.

  • And so he sent me a sketch after that so we could make sure we were kind of all on the same page, and I was understanding what his vision was.

  • I tried on that original dress, and we really talked through all the details.

  • We talked about the sleeves we penned a little bit.

  • We pulled out.

  • It was originally short in the front, so we pulled some spare lace and draped it in the front so we could see what it would be like long.

  • So it was really working with the other dress to imagine some ideas and and for what the final result would be.

  • But this is the first time I actually put on the dress itself because way I mean, it's insane.

  • I think that my design, they keep it spontaneous.

  • The movement of a woman that keep it spontaneous, the personality of a woman.

  • You know, I always do always say that I do 50% of the job.

  • 50% is the woman wearing it and taking my philosophy, I think is very important to be extremely supportive too.

  • If I not really.

  • My one thing about this is that, like I think I said.

  • But I like you.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Wait, just put it in case.

  • Yeah, Yeah, it was everything.

  • It is the magical foot.

  • Could your take it out?

  • But the question is, just if we have less weaken ruffles.

  • Yeah.

  • You want less here?

  • Yeah, just like you know too much.

  • I think it's nice if you could see, like, shit way.

  • It's nice to see you here and to see here.

  • She has a very superhero body.

  • I mean, you look at her.

  • She's like a blond version of Wonder Woman that she's very tall.

  • So we did a capital proportion that we put in the dress.

  • She looks likely to be more human proportion that, you know, like more fragile.

  • So it's it's it's something that you re designed around.

  • This is wet, not even this shape of everything.

  • It's a perfection, really.

  • And the front look has to be here less heavy just to give it like in a beautiful shiver your body.

  • But I think this is so beautiful and remember the front.

  • It seems extremely important.

  • But the wedding's back its way.

  • Remember, like weddings from from the back.

  • I mean, I love to make people people happy.

  • I really I feel happy.

  • This is my biggest happiness.

  • So it is not in better to share like happy moments like, for example, the wedding.

  • The other amazing moment.

  • We'll work around beauty and love stories.

  • So this is like a perfection.

  • Wait, You think of this day what love have joined.

My name is Selvi Drummond, and I'm getting married on June 1st.
