Second Dress
Is anyone changing into a second dress? I love love love my wedding dress but it is a wedding dress (cant say too much FH stalks this site) so I was thinking of maybe changing into a different dress thats more comfortable and shorter which makes it easier for using the ladies room. I saw this dress on sale (200.00) at Davids Bridal and I love it!!!http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_One-Shoulder-Organza-Dress-with-Black-Belt-VW360012_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-Short-Bridesmaid-Dresses
Also found this for my bachlorette party:

Second Dress
I literally only sipped water as I needed it throughout the day. Only went to the bathroom once and MOH took off and held my dress, then we put it back on. Took less than 10 minutes.

Second Dress
I'm changing into a second dress because I originally wanted something form fitted. But since I got a ball gown I'm changing during the reception most likely after our first dance.

This sounds the easiest for me. Or I can try the Bethenny method, lol!

Second Dress
I have a crinoline skirt under my dress too. I have to always pee and it will be summer so Im going to want to drink cause Ill be hot. My mom doesnt like the idea because she says I should be in my wedding dress till at least the cake cutting and then by that time it will maybe be an hour left of the reception. Can I do the cake earlier? We are also taking night time pics and I think with the short dress it will look great to get some professional and more sexy pics in it. Maybe for the 200.00 I should just get it and see what happens.

It is totally up to you. If you want a second dress then go for it!For me personally, I am not changing. I only get to wear my wedding dress once, I'm not taking it off! lol

I took my sister to the bathroom at least 3 times, was a ball gown -- honestly wasn't that hard -- I held it up, she did her biz and honestly no one can c a thing. Took total 5 mins each time.

Your supposed to use the toilet backwards so the back of your dresses doesn't fall in. When I read this, the first rule was make sure toilet and floor are clean or have the attendant clean up.

call me old fashioned but i kind of agree with your mom on this one!! i think the pics of the cake cutting looks best with your wedding gown (which u will only wear once)... and the second dress is cute!!
however i am in LOVE with your bachlorette party dress!! so different!!!! and adorable!!

Bahahaha ok that comment almost had me fall off the chair.
I think Im going to get that dress and use it for our trash the dress session and maybe we can have some pictures that have more of a sexier/edgier look. Thanks for all your help!!! What would I have done without you ladies!!!
