I agree with Nem, just say you already have one. You run into hurting their feelings that way too though because they would expect you to pick one over the other.

 

You can always just 'forget' to pack it and then be upset and say you are sorry at the wedding. That solves it without anyone getting hurt. I hate to say it, but this little white lie wont hurt anyone worried2.gif

I went for my final dress fitting yesterday and it didn't fir :(((( The seamstress said that it may be because it is that time of the month for me and she wants me to go back next week. It was a very sad day ... I wanted to bring my dress home sooooooooooooo bad.

I so agree!!!! I usually just KIH (keep it honest) but I understand you not wanting to hurt their feelings.

Options:

1. Forget to pack it. Make a whole production of it the day of the wedding so that its believable lol. You will still need to explain how you forgot theirs but just happen to have another.

2. Make changes to the one that they have given you.

3. Buy what you want and tell them "I really liked the one you made but when I saw this one I fell in love and had to have it!!!" They will not want to interupt your happiness.

4. Wear the one you want to the ceremony, but take pictures in both so that they will still feel like you love theiri gift.

 

I would probably pick #3. Good Luck!

Its a tough spot to be in.......but as I have grown older I have discovered more on making myself happy and not worrying sooooooo much about doing what "others" want me to do.

 

Its a super tough spot, but look at the anxiety you are going through wanting to please them and feel uncomfortable at your own wedding.

 

I understand that once in awhile you should do for others, I am not saying that...

 

What I am saying is that it is your day.....Make it your day!!

 

I believe the hard core truth can and usually is HARSH, I dont believe a lil white lie is harmful when you use it to spare others feelings.

 

I could be opening a can of worms here, but you reached out and I wanted to let you know that I do not think you should have to wear it.

 

Gently tell them that you had purchased or made one without knowing you were getting one for the shower and hadnt found a way to tell them that and it has taken you this long because you have had such anxiety about it and not wanting to let them down and its important to you that they feel appreciated for what they have done...........I think they will understand completely.

 

Anywayz ladies, that just my lonely opinion.... blink.gif

 

 

 

That is actually a good idea. i never considered saying that I already bought one. I am definitely going to have to think about that.

Wow thank you for four options. Thank you all for your help. It looks like you all agree that if i don't like it and feel uncomfortable in it, I should find a way break it gently.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
