This dress for a vow renewal?

Hello friends,

Been together 28 years... married 17.

We've got a vow renewal in December.. so excited but unsure what to wear?

Had a huge circus wedding last time with trumpets, bells and whistles. This time just us and family.

Is this dress ok?

Had a freaking great flouncy, wafting number last time so not sure.

Thank you in advance for options.. 😊x

@Bluntness100 wow well you learn something everyday I guess

Can’t think of anything more cringe than renewing vows after cheating 😂 people are crazy

Sorry to derail thread op

Alexdrake44 · 24/08/2021 21:39

Why can’t some on here just be nice for a change 😫
That is a beautiful dress 🥰

Yes good advice... maybe something in the same shade?

I think so. Pearls, too.

(Though definitely not of the clutching kind. More the flinging off with joy, love and abandon late in the night kind Grin)

It would be pretty shit to do it the second time when you didn't mean it the first time!

Totally agree.

Beautiful dress and I love the idea of the fur stole.

Ignore the naysayers and have a lovely day Smile

SingingSands · 24/08/2021 21:44

Lovely elegant dress and the shoes are fab! Its hard to judge a dress on a hangar but I can tell it has a lovely drape to it.

Life goes past so fast, I think it's wonderful to pause, take stock and celebrate the good stuff. I hope you have a wonderful day Thanks

crouchingpheasant · 24/08/2021 21:45

I love it, it's beautiful.

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 21:46

Thank you all very much.

I hope the negative Nancys find someone who wants to put a ring on it once..
Let alone twice. 😘

I don't think the shoes are quite right for the dress. Too blingy and the heel is wrong. They look dated in a bad way. The dress deserves better.

Unsubscribed · 24/08/2021 21:46

Looks lovely OP , congrats and enjoy your day Smile

Sleepinghyena · 24/08/2021 21:47

@Meezer2 Missing point of thread, buut... Do you have 2 Meezers? If so, snap! 😃

OnwardsAndSideways1 · 24/08/2021 21:48

If you are 5 11 and a size 10 then that dress will look absolutely fab, it's all about the drape. What a lovely thing to do after what's been an incredibly tough time of the past couple of years.

Changemaname1 · 24/08/2021 21:49

Enjoy your day op Flowers

mamamalt · 24/08/2021 21:50

Hahaha some people are nuts. It's not a well known FACT, it's something people say on mumsnet! My inlaws did it when one of them survived cancer for the third time!

Anyway OP I think it's wonderful and would love to renew my vows one day and be as happy as you sound as will be a.similar age when my 3 are grown!
The dress is beautiful and you sound so so lovely so I'm sure you'll shine! All the very best

nodtik · 24/08/2021 21:51

Thank you for your feedback - it sounds wonderful! I hope you have the most amazing day! Xx

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 21:57

Sleepinghyena

I sure do!

Amazing cats. 😻

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 22:01

I'll try to source some shoes in the same shade.

Like the pearls idea.. not clutching obviously!

@Meezer2 I rescued my first Meeze - she was been advertised for free on Facebook- scary where she might have ended up.
Although she is no longer with us, she left me with a lifelong addiction to Siamese!
I have two girls now - life is never dull (or quiet!)
Congratulations on your forthcoming vow renewal ♥️

Wideawake2345 · 24/08/2021 22:09

Never in my life have I heard the “fact” that you renew your vows if someone has cheated - god there are some bloody miserable gits out there!

My husband and I have been married four years and our wedding was brilliant but so stressful due to overseas guests attending etc so we have already talked about going to Vegas or something for our ten year wedding anniversary to have a silly vow renewal with our children so that they can be a part of it too Smile

I hope you have a wonderful day @Meezer2 and congratulations on a happy marriage and being blessed with 3 children xxx

ThreeWitches · 24/08/2021 22:12

I hope your as blessed as we are. 😊

They can't be that blessed if they're so bitter to random people online.

Voice0fReason · 24/08/2021 22:12

The dress is gorgeous and a wrap would look fabulous with it.

Sounds like a great plan.
Don't understand why some people are being miserable gits about it.

Mydogmylife · 24/08/2021 22:12

@ActonSquirrel

Did one of you cheat or something?
I really hate this assumption! Not everyone that has a vow renewal is in that position. If it's not for you fair enough, but don't piss on other folks chips
ThreeWitches · 24/08/2021 22:12

Lovely dress, OP. Congrats Flowers

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 22:13

Aww sleepingHyena!

I had my first meezer 30 years ago and she started off my addiction.

Once you've had a Siamese you never go back!

The most needy, loyal, loving and bloody noisy cats in the world!

Each one I've ever had has had such individual personality quirks.

My darling old girl is 16 and not in the best health... still has her crazy meezer moments though. 😻

Firstly congratulations on your excellent taste in cats.

Secondly it is a little hard to judge a dress on a hanger, but you are tall and slim so it should suit you.

I love dresses like that but they aren't for shorties.
