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....

Don't stress about other people's opinions, they can pick out their own wedding dresses and stop worrying about yours.

This is YOUR day. Everybody else is coming as YOUR guest, and you have no reason to give up your dream dress just to please them! You're going to look gorgeous no matter what, and nobody will come up to you on your wedding day and say "Well, I really think you shouldn't have gone with that dress...". You don't want to look back on this day and regret not doing what you want. Everybody has their own personal taste and you'll never find a dress that's EVERYBODY's favorite. But on your wedding day, it's all you!
Echo answered Thursday July 30 2009, 4:00 pm: Sweetie, this is your wedding day. The one day where everything is about you and you should make yourself happy rather than someone else who isn't going to remember in 20 years because the only people who are going to remember that day forever is your and your husband-to-be. If the dress you like makes you feel special inside don't suppress that feeling because you will never get it back. Congratulations on your nuptials and i hope that it is a very special day for you.

rainbowcherrie answered Thursday July 30 2009, 3:31 pm: 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. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
