Wedding Dress

Original post by Moonmist09

I was engaged once before and was to be married in April of 2008.
11 days before the wedding the douchebag of an excuse of a man who was my Ex canceled the wedding. Needless to say, I lost quite a bit of money.

I had originally bought a dress 1 year before the wedding. My ex, FMIL was dying to see the dress event hough i wanted to keep it a surprise (and i hated her anyway) and i finally relented to avoid problems and showed her the dress.

About 3 months before the wedding I decided I wasn't crazy about the first dress I bought so i exchanged it for another one.

When the wedding was canceled, I never got rid of my dress. Now, i am engaged and will be getting married next year. I love the dress. But should I wear it since it was for a different wedding?

Thoughts!

first, what does JMO mean? lol


Second, Mrs. Blue Ribbon - i tried it on again tonight with all of the accesories that go along with it.
no one ever saw this dress except for my mom and my sister.
I've decided to wear the dress again. I'm not superstitious. I don't think that wearing this dress will remind me of my ex - but i never think about him and looking back to what it was like even planning a wedding with him - was pure torture.
with my FH now, i couldn't imagine ever going through that. the only think i can think of is walking down the aisle to him and staring our lives together. he really is the one that i've waited all my life for. you have to kiss some frogs before you really find your prince.
I'd love to hear more about what happened to you - if you need an ear - i'm totally hear. i know your not thinking of being in another relationship now, but one day, your dream guy will come by and you'll fall head over heals!
how long were you and your ex together for?

I think if you feel comfortable with it and can disassociate it from the past then go for it! If it's going to be a reminder of the breakup i'd say try something new.

By the way....what the hell is up with men? This just happened to a close relative of my FH's...she was six months away from getting married and all of a sudden, 25000 later and after buying a house together he doesn't wanna marry her! ***.

I find this a really interesting question, because I think about it a lot.
I was supposed to be married this past September, and I was left 12 days before my wedding. I am not looking for a relationship, and can't even imagine being engaged again, but I do think what will I do if I do get married in the future? I loooovvvvvvveeeee my dress! Nobody ever saw it except my mom and grandparents. I even wish I had gotten to post it on here, so at least it could have been seen.
I think if you really love it and are comfortable with it, it's okay to wear it. I will be interested in what you decide.
Good Luck![/QUOTE

Great advice! You can show it to us if you want it to be seen we'd love to see it- Atleast I would

If you love the dress wear it! Seriously no one is going to know. And when it comes down to it...it's only a dress. If you love the style then I say go with it - why not save a little money?
