4 days to go ....

So this morning I woke up and finally admitted to myself that my wedding dress wasn't the one. I like it and it's nice but I don't love it.

So I confessed to OH this morning and we went shopping. Managed to find an off the peg dress that I love and feel amazing in. It's a little too long but I can manage for a day!

Anyone else had a last minute dress change of heart?

Thank you everyone. I feel so much more confident in this dress. Silly I know. We are off to the Lake District Sunday to get married the next day. Just a small ceremony. Big reception in the new year.

I feel so much more excited now I have a dress I love!

That dress is wonderful on you. Have a wonderful day.

(I'm dying to know what the other dress was like. This dress is perfect for you.)

This is the first dress. I did like it, I just didn't feel special in it I guess. My Mum paid for it bless her. I felt bad but she understands.

My lovely OH treated me to today's dress. I think I didn't want to feel like a princess, no veil or tiara etc, but today I woke up and realised maybe I did 😂

Oh I think you've made the right choice! The second dress is nice, but the first one is really lovely.

@HollowTalk that's how I felt about it lol. It was "nice" which I realised wasn't the look I was going for on my wedding day 😬

Fingers crossed a lovely lady in my village who is a dress maker may be able to take it up a smidge for me before we leave on Sunday 😊

Yes, "nice" isn't what you want, really!

Won't it be hard to take it up?

Higher heels?

Report
Chesneyhawkes1 · 22/11/2018 21:55

I'm hoping not! Will find out tomorrow. I love my shoes but I'd be willing to wear higher heels.

Whatever happens I'll get it taken up before the reception so I can dance in it 👍🏻

That is one stunning dress. And you look incredible in it. You definitely made the right decision. It's beautiful.

The previous dress is lovely, but it doesn't do half as much for you as the new one.

Stunning.

You'll look amazing and made the right choice.

Thank you everyone. I was worried it was a stupid decision so late on, but you've all made me feel better about it.

@HollowTalk I'm going to spend the day trawling the shops for platform heels as I reckon your idea will give me the inches I need 👍🏻
