Did you cry..

MISSCOURTNEY20

when you found your dress?? This girl is killing me saying that it isn't the dress unless she cries....Ugh!

I did tear up so I voted yes, I wasn't a mess though. It was mostly a reaction to my dad though. I put on the dress and was like "I feel so pretty!" Then turned around and saw my gruff manly dad with tears running down his face. He said "You look beautiful baby" and I'm almost lost it.

I thought I would cry but I didn't! I just kept dancing around in it and staring at myself in the mirror. Vain but true.

I actually cried when I tried on an earlier dress. But I am sure that I cried because I was EXHAUSTED from trying on dresses and it was the first one that actually zipped up. I think I cried because I thought I loved it because it fit me and at that point in the day I just felt like a fat cow after trying on 20+ dresses that didn't even nearly fit me.

The dress I picked did not make me cry. But I still love it.

This was me.  I jad a big smile on my face.  I didn't buy it on the first day.  I came back about 2 weeks later for it even though I was pretty sure it was the dress.

Nope, and it was actually funny cuz a commercial for SYTTD was on a FI asked me if that was how I reacted, but I wasn't paying attention to the commercial so I said "well I didn't cry if that's what your asking"
**face:palm** I never was an emotional person but damn I wish I wasn't so blunt all the time

I didn't cry but I did want to. It was the 2nd dress I tried on and I tried on 2 dresses after it. The third one was my dream dress but it was waaay too heavy and could not bebustled. The fourth was one that my mom liked. Yuck! LOL!! I put the second one back on and rang the bell @ DB.

My dress was the 4th one I tried on and I bought it right then and there.

I've found the one I'm going to buy, but I'm waiting on my parents to come visit to buy it (I can't imagine buying a dress without my mom being there for that).

Anyway, I didn't cry when I found it.  I was way too happy and I just couldn't stop smiling.  If my mom cries when she sees me in it, that will make me cry for sure, though.

Nope, I didn't cry. I liked the way it made me feel- I felt pretty. I also had another dress that I liked, so I took 2 weeks to decide, even though I knew deep down that I wanted the first one. It had to grow on me I guess. I suck at making decisions, but I made the right one with this dress. I love it

No tears. I went alone and purchased the first dress I tried on off the rack. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. I went in the store at 10:00 for my appointment and walked out at 10:53 with the dress.

I tried on a dress at a Jim Hjelm trunk show with some friends and I loved it, but could not stomach the 3000 price tag.
After that I went with my mom, sister and MIL and couldn't find any of the designers or styles I wanted, so they had me try on equivalent styles. It was cold and rainy and we had run around all day, so when everyone agreed on the dress, I got it. I just didn't care at that point!

So I guess my vote is 'other'--I definitely didn't cry, and I like my dress, but dress shopping really wasn't as fun as I was hoping it would be and I just couldn't get emotional about a dress I was gonna only wear once. (Though I do plan on making a killer bustier out of it for a show...that makes me happy)

I didn't cry. I wasn't even really excited or anything, I remember thinking I was too calm making such a huge decision. I just knew I didn't want to take it off again, and that seemed like a great sign!

I didn't cry. My mom didn't cry. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen my mom cry. This smiley sums up our reactions: ^.^

I didn't cry.  I'm not a terribly emotional person, so it didn't surprise me either.  I had already decided that that was the one I wanted, and tried on a whole bunch of other ones to be sure, and ended up going with my gut and deciding on the one I bought.  To me, it was still just a dress, granted a very pretty and special one, but it was still just a dress to me.

I didn't cry.  I went out twice--I found my dress the first time, but I was having trouble deciding between it and another one.  When I went back a week later, I tried them both on, and the one I chose was the one I just didn't want to take off. 

When it became "official" and the consultant went off to get stuff for my measurements, I teared up a little at imagining myself walking down the aisle in this dress.  I was getting more emotional thinking about getting married, than the actual dress, though.  But I do love my dress. :-)

I had what my mom called a  "painfully practical reaction." I saw a dress in a style I liked, the color I wanted, and the price that worked best. When I tried it on I thought, "OK, this one doesn't make me look hideous. It will work."

The dress wasn't one of the things I really cared about. I was in and out in an hour, if even. So no, no tears at all.
