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....
:-(
It's your wedding. If you like the other dress, then get that one. Why would you want to spend the day feeling uncomfortable? Just because your Mother-In-Law prefers the second one, doesn't mean you have to. Choose the dress YOU like the best.
