Am I allowed to be upset??

Okay, so after another exhausting weekend of bad dress shopping I was in a horrible mood last night. Especially after what happend at BR I felt like I had every right. Plus the fact that I've tried on closer to 50 dresses so far!! I was with FH and his family when they all told me I was being ridiculous and to stop and not let it bother me. FMIL told me to stop looking for a few months! I know that I'm not getting married til next august but I am a busy girl!! They all know that I work a billion hours a day and in the summer FH and me are so busy with weekend parties/events and previously made plans! I have to go dress shopping when I can...which is NOW! I know that my frustration is starting to turn to anger, but it doesn't help when people tell me to stop feeling a certain way! I can feel however I want!!!!!!
FMIL keeps telling me to go into the city on the weekends...I WORK 84803945 hours a day everyday and commute almost 4 hours a day during the week...the LAST place I want to be traveling to is the city!! Why can't people just let me handle things how I want to handle them?!?!

sidenote- I am going to make an appointment at Amsale for some day this week. I figure I can go at lunch time because they are right across the street from me. Here'e hoping!
Thanks for listening!!

SORRY its been so stressful dress shopping

also if you work in the city maybe you should make an appointment at kleinfelds after work, try a thursday bc thats the day they are open the latest, or go to RK bridal or another bridal shop after work

I'm so sorry..I feel for you ladies having a tough dressing experience. My word of advice is really, screw everyone! Go alone and you'll be stress-free. I went the first time alone and my mom met me there..it was smooth sailing. This weekend I went with FSIL and had THE BEST time ever! You have to narrow it down to one style/color so that you can eliminate other opinions. I NEVER thought I'd have so many I liked! I thought it would be hard to find even one. You'll find it when the time is right..go alone, screw everyone! lol

Don't stress! Look as much as you want when you have time. This gives you a chance to be sure of what you want.Take one day at a time and you will eventually find the dress.
Believe me I have tried on over 100 dresses, no joke
I still can't decide and i am not getting married until may 08! But I am hopeful!
You might want to try looking online at different designs and picking out which ones you would like to try on. Find out which stores carry them,Then you can narrow down your search. just a thought.
Good Luck!

you are definately allowed to be upset!
i can totally relate to this. i'm getting married in march and i've tried on at least 50 gowns none of which are 'the dress' and i'm starting to panic.
My mom and fmil keep telling me to calm down and that i'm being rediculous. I hate when people tell me how to feel!
This is a very stressfull situation and it's totally understandable that you feel the way you do.
*hugs*

i ran into the same situation. i tried on anything and everything and nothing jumped at me. i liked certain parts of each dress but not the complete whole. but dont worry! i finally found my dress last week and you will too. just took some time, patience and an open mind.

good luck!
