Two wedding gowns

[kierawhogives]

I tragically have two wedding dress- due to having a weekend wedding being revised for a covid wedding.

I cannot pick one. It's been in my closet for a year- and as plans have changed, I don't think I can wear both now due to having a small, short wedding.

Which dress do you think I should wear? Some friends are telling me to still wear both- i just can't be bothered, really.

Here are the pics

What a nightmare, if my MIL is anything to go by her current issue is you pair want to start a marriage, she wants a wedding to show off to her pals at someone elses expense.

Ignore her your marrying DP not his mother.

Oh OP I'm so sorry to hear all you're going through. I hope your dad remains well. Sod your partner's mum - his reaction tells you all you need to know! (and lovely to see a loyal DP for a change).

Do you know, now that you have set the scene a bit more, I love the idea of you wearing both. Like a nod to the wedding that would have been taking place, in a very beautiful, interesting and (on the day I am sure it will be) lovely gently humorous way.

I love the idea of you changing, coming back and saying something like 'As most of you know, a big part of our wedding celebration should have been taking place in France. That can't happen of course, but I wanted to change into the dress that I would have worn on that day - a gift from my lovely Dad, who has always felt so close to that part of our heritage, as do I. So, welcome to the start of the French part of our wedding.'

A really lovely thing to do.

Wear the first one

Neither dress is boho. They are elegant and chic. The second one is more understated.
I would, if I had to just wear one, wear the first. The other one could be used on anothe date. The first definitely can’t.

Enjoy your wedding. It isn’t what is what meant to be. Embrace the small and intimate affair and have a f-off party in a few years time. It’a not a bad way to do things at all. The most important people can see you get married and then when you have the party you won’t have half the faff or stress- you can just have a brilliant party. You can do a symbolic ceremony then if you wanted to mark it somehow.

The first one. Enjoy your wedding, remember it's just a day and how it goes doesn't make any difference to the marriage.

The first dress is absolutely beautiful.
