The Wedding Plaza #2 dress is here
Lillette's #3 dress is here
Elegant Bridal Affairs
Bridal Village
The Bridal Suite

Part of me thinks it might be cuz i'm not/wasn't ready to look at dresses. Everytime we've gone is cuz my mom wanted to.

I knew mine was 'the one' because it was the very last dress I tried on and I didn't find anything I didn't like or wanted to change on it.

Further, my mother who passed away in 2006 gave me the CD single 'I Hope you Dance' b/c I was down and out one year; it has always been 'our' song.......so when I came out of the dressing room my sisters are crying and I hear the song on the radio...it was crazy! She was 'the one'

---

Wow- you made me cry with that post!!!

---

I'm sorry....I still think my Mom picked it for me! Getting married w/out your mother is rough but I have great family!

---

That's crazy that the song came on at that moment. If a song came on that my dad might have sang to me in the past, even if i HATED the dress, i would HAVE to get it lol.

i agree with barb...go by yourself!!!!!!!!!! its your choice. almost all of the places i looked i went on my own. i took my MOH the first time i looked. and i took my mom when i ordered.

you know what you will feel best in. go around and narrow it down. then when you are ready, go back with ppl

and the best thing about going on your own...no one pressures you to buy!! cuz you say, o, i need my mom to see it...and then the shut up. lol

I probably would have to...sorry about your Dad

I found 'the one' the first day I went for dresses. I loved everything I had tried on before, but when i put this one one I got a feeling. I am sure if I kept trying on dresses there would be others that gave me the same feeling (which is why I stopped immediately - I can be very indecisive).

Same thing goes with FH. I do not believe is soul mates. But I do believe he is the best person out there for me (that I have met). I am sure there are 100s of other people I am compatible with, but we are in love and happy and I stopped searching after we met.

Same rules apply for dress and FH. LOL

Great Question! I am in the same boat and I am getting frustrated!!!I
Now have less then a year to my wedding and I don't have my gown - I want 'the one' feeling but that has not happened to me yet!

I really, really really like 3 dresses, and they are totally different form each other.

I feel like I should have 'the one' feeling - but after reading all of you stories - I feel better about not having 'the one feeling'

thanks

i like the pronovias dress the best

eta: i think there can be multiple the ones, maybe given a different budget i'd have a diff 'the one', but you have to pick the dress that suits you and is what you were looking for, that makes you feel good and fits within your budget, so it may be multiple ones

wow... you gave me goodbumps...

I too found a few that I would love to wear on my wedding day and that looked great. But I felt that out of the few, there was only one that was really 'me.' Also, I kept thinking about it moreso than the others.

I'm with you Adriana......I'm so indecisive that there are plenty of dresses out there that could've been the one for me. As a matter of fact, I had found 'the two' lol.

But the one I picked was because I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm sure if I kept looking, I may have found a THIRD that I would've loved, and I didn't want to then have to choose from three.

Hm.. this is a tough one.
I just purchased my dress today at Kleinfeld's. I went on Tuesday and the first dress I tried on I had that 'wow this is beautiful' reaction with a huge smile and saw mother and sister react the same way. The thing was I pictured myself in something different (with beading on top and plain bottom with not much pick up) so I left Kleinfelds and went looking around all day yesterday and nothing gave me that same reaction. I went to Kleinfelds today put that dress on and the same reaction was there purchased it and as I was leaving a dress another bride to be had on caught my attention. If it were up to me I would have a different dress for every hour of the day! As long as future husband loves it thats all that matters.

Ahh, you girls just made me feel so much better. I'm a very indecisive person and didn't really get that feeling. All I can say is that I sort of felt it when they put my veil on and turned down the lights. I immediately said, 'I have to have this veil'. Also, I went back to my dress 3 times in between trying on other. It didn't have that completely traditional look that I had thought I wanted and it made me nervous to get something a little different. I think we're all so stressed out that it's normal to wonder if you're making all the right decisions. I'm sure everyone will look beautiful on their big day
