Okay, did anyone else have this feeling? I bought my wedding dress today, and now I'm suddenly fighting an awful lot of panic. I had pretty much decided on one in another city, but I decided to look at the local shops before I purchased it. I broke down and let DF see pictures and he loved the other dress. It was very simple and understated. Today I looked in the last shop before I went down to get the dress I thought I was going to buy, and I found one that I really liked in the local shop and ended up buying it. It is completely different. It has a lot more detail and pretty beadwork. The shape is quite different and accentuates my curves.
I thought it was so lovely in the shop, but now I'm panicking because I worry that DF won't like this one after liking the other or that what nicely accentuated my curves in person might end up looking too hippy in pictures. I am still just in total shock that I own a wedding gown at all. I am so excited to marry my sweetheart. I didn't expect to be so nervous though after just buying a dress.
I don't think I will send photos to DF this time. I took a few and they didn't come out as flattering as I would like, which is probably a large part of today's panic feeling. I was looking kind of Saturday grungy as far as hair and make-up go. I want him to see me in person and feel wowed. I'm nervous that he might form strong opinions if he were judging the two photos side by side and think, "sure she was kind of pretty, but I still liked that other one better." I have to believe (or hope) that he would see me in person and just be caught up in the moment. I just want to be beautiful for him. I believe I will be, but I'm feeling self-conscious because I've put on a little weight over the last few years, and he is so thin. I hate these stupid girl insecurities, and I really hate that they are plaguing me as I make one of my monumental steps in life. Did any of you find yourself worrying that you weren't going to feel pretty that day?
