Because this seems to be a topic that has several people hitting the panic button, here is how to pee while wearing your wedding dress:

On arrival at your venue

* Open the door of the ladies' room and look in. If the floor is not clean, call the venue staff and ask to have it cleaned.
* If the floor is clean, walk into the ladies' room and open the door of the handicapped stall. If the floor of the handicapped stall is not clean, call the venue staff and ask to have it cleaned.

This ensures that you will not later get the train/back of the dress dirty just by having it touch the floor.

When you need to go

* Walk into the handicapped stall. Remove (don't just pull down) your underpants.
* Facing the toilet, pull up the front of your dress to your waist.
* Walk straight forward, so you are straddling the toilet, and sit down that way. The train/back of your dress will now be away from the toilet, so you won't get them wet or dirty.
* Lean forward before peeing. That way, even if you drop the front of the dress onto the seat, you will not pee in its direction.

You may now resume your panic about all the other topics for your wedding day.

I didn't even think of that!! That's when you strip down naked and use the private bathroom in the bridal suite.

Re: peeing in your dress

I only had to pee once the entire day, right when we got to the RH!

I just went to the bridal suite and took my dress off - then I knew there was no risk of peeing on it.

Re: peeing in your dress

This is scaring me into thinking I should have gotten a different dress.

Mine is a very slim A-line or maybe it would be considered a mermaid. Hopefully I can pee by myself....Not that I'm embarrassed but I tend to drink 8-10 glasses of water on a regular day..

Re: peeing in your dress

I guess it depends on the shape of your dress, but both of the brides I have helped go to the bathroom have not had to do this, and I swear nobody has gotten anything on their dress. If you have a bridesmaid hold your train up, you can back into the seat without having too much difficulty. Taking off your dress just seems like too much work. If you are wearing spanx, you might have to have a bridesmaid help you pull them down, but I don't think you really have to take anything off. I would think facing the toilet would be awkward, and in this kind of situation I would want to be as comfortable as I can. With at least one person watching, I would feel weird enough!
