Speaking about wedding preparations Abbi said, "I am one of the 130 bridesmaids. We will all be wearing the same dress. They were specially made in the US and flown over three weeks ago. Since then we conducted more than 90 dress fittings. We had a terrible time measuring all the men's wear. All you could hear was sewing machines going at one point."
