So after almost 7 years together, my FI and I decided this year that we would finally get married...and not just a wedding but my ALL TIME dream wedding: in Rome at the Vatican with an Italian Vogue photographer and all! Now last week, after not going to the dentist for the last 12 years (I have an insane crazy phobia of the dentist) and suffering daily tooth pain for over 4 years, I had enough and made an emergency appointment with the dentist. Turns out that 5 of my teeth are severely rotten (can't see to the naked eye) and need them surgically removed in 2 weeks. Problem is that now I'll have gaps in my smile (not the front teeth, just on the side but still clearly visible) and I dont want to have gaps in my wedding pictures. It can be corrected with braces but if I do so, I'll have braces for the wedding (even worse than gaps). FI carefully suggested that we push the wedding back one year until my braces are removed, which I think is the logical idea but I'm soooooo depressed at the idea that I'm not going to marry next year.
Am I nuts to feel this way? Is a gap in my smile that horrible in wedding pictures (remember it's a Italian Vogue photographer!)?
