Hi

I am married with 6 years plus, eventually had a baby boy recently(happy days). I was talking about the christening with my sister and what christening gown I would get. She was saying that a christening gown that she was given was beautiful but she loaned it and wasn't given it back. I said I was getting it made, she said oh are you getting your wedding dress cut down, I said no, I wanted to leave to my nieces so they could try it on whenever they get married, (1 of my nieces is her daughter) Sometime after my sister sent me a picture of me trying on a wedding dress which was alot more beautiful, it is not the one I went with due to financial constraints. I went with one that was on sale and had to have alterations done to it in order for it to fit me. Material had to be taken from the train to the back in order for it to fit so it take from the dress. Now I can't stop looking at pictures of my dress, saying that I could have been alot more beautiful on my wedding day, it's really upsetting me, it's not like I am going to get that chance back, I don't know why I am getting upset about this, I am so lucky to have my baby boy. Just thought my sister was always of the view that I looked beautiful on my wedding day and that she loved my dress but obviously didn't. And now she has me looking at it and looking at the other dress wishing I had got that one. She had my mothers wedding dress who had passed away before my wedding. Her wedding dress could not be located for me to try on. How do I stop being so silly about this

Sorry I think you need to try move on from this. Your sister was probably just sending a picture she found of you trying a dress on since you two were chatting about it. I doubt she was meaning it as you looked less beautiful in your dress. Everyone has something about their wedding day that they would change- my make
up was wrong and whenever I see the pictures I do feel a little down but really it didn’t affect anything - I still married my dh, we now have a great life together, the make up did nothing to change that . Your dh would have thought you were beautiful no matter what you wore! Part of me thinks it’s your baby hormones getting to you but you need to accept that its in the past, you wore a lovely dress and had a great day, now you have an adorable son so time to look forward.

Your sister sounds mean. Stop telling her things. Get a stock of answers ready that give nothing away.

"Oh, we haven't decided yet"
"I'm going to decide nearer the time"

Etc.

@Hiddenvoice what about her mothers wedding dress that "couldn't be located" and now the beautiful gown that "can't be located".
