As the bride of course, not as a guest.Grin

Course you won't! Do it!

Of course you won't! It's your wedding day.

Nah. You'll look lovely. Lots of people do it.

meandjulio · 07/04/2015 21:21

I did it Grin

Looking back, a beautiful suit might have been a better fit, but I don't care much.

I would try on a variety of outfits but ultimately this really is up to you.

You should wear whatever the hell you want! Have fun Smile

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 07/04/2015 21:33

Do it! Lady getting married after we did was in full gear (I was in jeans LOL); she looked fabulous! You'll only (hopefully Grin) do it once, so you must do what you want!

honeyroar · 07/04/2015 21:45

I did. Lots of people do. A lot of registry offices are lovely and in old buildings with sweeping staircases etc, we got some lovely photos at ours.

QueenofLouisiana · 07/04/2015 21:46

I had a full on wedding dress, complete with train and tiara! Not a meringue as they didn't suit me, I also had a bouquet etc.

You'll look and feel amazing!
