"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

wicked awesome conversations
^my forum, liven it up a little?
advice
ok, so yesterday I went to davids bridal and found 2 dresses I really like. I tried on the first dress, and it was pretty when I looked in the mirror, but inside I felt like it was just another wedding dress, and I didnt feel like myself....but the 5 girls that were with me all really loved it and thought it was beautiful.
THEN, I tried on a beautiful princess looking dress, with lots of tulle in the skirt, and the top was a beautifully beaded Halter. Not only did I think I looked pretty, but i FELT beautiful in it, I couldnt stop smiling!!
Then I asked the others what they thought...
every single person preferred the 1st dress over this one.
Yesterday when I tried on those two dresses, the pretty poofy princess dress made me feel the prettiest, and I basically had my mind made up that thats the one I wanted for sure.
Then I texted a picture of it to jay and melissa. my fiance's mom and dad.
Jay, He said he liked it and asked me to email it to him. So i emailed him 2 pictures.....
One of my favorite, the poofy princess one...
A pic of my 2nd choice, the other dress I tried on...just added it to the email to show them.
I thought everything was great....
Until I got an email from melissa.
She said, "I like the 2nd dress better..."
It really upset me because i felt like everyone preferred the 2nd dress over my favorite....
The other dress was pretty when I looked in the mirror, but I felt so uncomfortable, and felt like just another bride. I considered it a dress that people would forget what it looked like as soon as the wedding was over....
The poofy dress made me feel like a princess, and I know people would remember that dress for days....
So I'm stuck. should I go with a dress that everyone likes to see me in and thinks I'm pretty,but not really feel like myself?
or go with the dress I feel the best in and have people think I'm not as pretty?
Why did she even have to stress her opinion about the dress she preferred when I clearly stated in the email which one I wanted????
I'm just getting aggravated because she keeps trying to change my mind about almost everything!!!
If she makes me change
My mind and i have to get my 2nd choice dress I'll feel like I'm settling....
:-(
Wear the dress that you want, not anyone else.
Anyway, she probably gave her opinion because it's a natural assumption that you were looking for opinions when you sent BOTH pictures.

(Rating: 3) i sent both pics because he wasnt there at the shop and wanted to see what I had tried on, and I also made it VERY clear in the email about which dress I wanted.
