I'm going to cry

Hey hun... if there are 3 different oot bags you want, then there might as well be 3 dresses. I'm just kidding! Of course go with the dress you love. It's not like your family will say you're ugly... of course they are going to think you're beautiful, and you deserve to feel beautiful in your dress. Let us know what happens and of course we love pictures! Good luck!

Of my 3 short-listed I got the dress that my mom liked the less... The idea that she has of me and my wedding is not the same idea that I have of me and my wedding.

 

Go for it girl !

So, here is the story now.

 

I went over to my Mom's house the next night, when it was just me and her, and told her exactly how I was feeling. She completely understood. We decided that we would go out the next day [on Friday] and look at new dresses.

 

So, we went to the store where I had placed a dress on hold and my Mom and I grabbed 30 some odd dresses off the rack to try on. She phoned my Dad and he came too, which was a little odd, but she told me that he would be thrilled and honour to be part of the decision-making process.

 

Well, one of the dresses that I tried on [she picked out] was amazing. It is fitted, so it shows off my hour-glass curves really well. Once again, it is a little bit too big, but nothing that my seamstress can fix.

 

My Dad got all choked up and had to walk away because he thought it was beautiful and very much "me".

 

So, we bought that one!!!! LoL. The best part? It was on sale so it cost a total of $330.00. LoL, so cheap!!!!

 

I don't have a picture of it, I forgot my camera and it's at my parent's house now, so as soon as I go back over there I shall get my Mom to take some pictures of it.

 

You all will love it. Thank you so much for letting me vent and being there for me!!!!

YAY!!! You !
I'm so glad that you ended up going back out and finding a wonderful dress that makes you feel like a bride and beautiful!

It's funny - that was my big thing too - I wanted the dress to really show off my hourglass figure. The first dress I got was very straight and boring (to me - it's a beautiful dress, don't get me wrong, but not the look I wanted to capture).
The fact that your new dress is 'you' is even better.

Good for you! And yay for your mom for picking it out!
