Hi Ladies!
Just thought I'd share a little about my first time trying on dresses. I brought my two work girlfriends that like talking about wedding stuff (one just got married, the other is getting married in June) to help give opinions since I don't want to be by myself with salespeople (I'm suspicious that they would be pushy).
So, I felt a lot of anxiety and nervousness creeping over me as I was driving to the appointment. And then right before I put on the first dress it was the most intense. Not sure what that's all about. I guess it's really overwhelming? I've got a year to plan, so I really need to calm the eff down since it's gonna get a lot crazier from here on out.
I think I might have been freaking out a bit since I am very superstitious. Before we even talked about getting engaged, I absolutely refused to try on rings when other girlfriends would go try them on. I thought it was bad luck. I guess the same applied to wedding dresses. I even stayed very AWAY from that part of David's Bridal whenever I was there for something else.
So anyway, after I tried a few on and started to think about what I liked and didn't like, the panic eased a little bit. Thank goodness.
I wish my fiance was there for it, though. I feel like the only person I want to really love the dress (besides me of course) is him. Not so much my mother, who is very strongly opinionated about what it should look like. Don't get me wrong, I want her to like it too, but I feel like it's something I should choose with him. Am I imposing the same feelings we had about the engagement ring selection on my dress selection? Uff.
Anyone else have an anxiety attack trying on dresses the first time? Do you think it is bad luck to have your man there when you try on/ pick dresses? I have no problem with a First Look and all, so I don't know why I feel so superstitious about some things and not others. Sigh.
