Me in the dress

AshnRobo

Sorry I couldn't post this last night. Apparently, FI went to work crazy early yesterday so he could finish early and come home early. He was home before I was which never happens.

Oh well.

So here it is...I know I don't look great but I didn't think I looked terrible until my mom made that comment. Now I keep picking myself apart. I'm trying to take everyone's advice and focus on how I felt in the dress. I'm feeling a little better today...

Do YOU still love it? Because that's all that matters. He will love you if you are in a burlap sack.

As long as it's a shade of white.  [At least in my FI's case ]

I think it looks absolutely beautiful on you!  I'm so sorry your mom said those things, it breaks my heart even to hear about that!  You can see how happy you are by the look on your face in the picture.  Please don't let ANYONE take that wonderful feeling from you!

It looks beautiful on you! It gives you a great shape. You definitely don't need to be skinny to wear it (I personally think I'd look like I was drowning in it if I were in that dress). If YOU love it, wear it! Don't listen to what your mother says. Wear what makes you feel beautiful. I agree that my FI wouldn't care what I wear, because no matter what he'll think I'm beautiful. 

I really do think it's a great dress for you!

your face is glowing in that dress! you look exactly how you should look when you find the dress you love.

You look beautiful in it and you are absolutely glowing!  Do you still love it though?

Agreed!

DoubleAS

How much YOU love it and how YOU feel in it is the only thing that matters.  Your groom is going to think you look just as beautiful as you feel! 

Sarah0335

I think you look amazing in it!  I actually think it is a really great shape for you and love all of the details.  If you still love it, then get it!  You FI will think you are the most beautiful person he has ever seen on your wedding day!

You look beautiful in that dress!  Are YOU still in love with it?  In the end it's all about what you're happy in.

You look stunning in that dress, you are actually glowing!! Don't let anyone ruin this special time in your life - remember as catty as it might sound this is YOUR day and if you feel great in the dress than don't let anyone change that!

I agree with everything Shannon said. I think it looks GREAT on you!!!

G2SoccerTaz

i agree with everyone else. You look amazing!!!!!!! Don't worry what your mom thinks. Get what YOU want.

GApeachOH

Look at your face! You look so happy!
I can't help but wonder if your mom is secretly a little jealous that you look so sexy in that dress.
I tried that on. It didn't NOT look good on me. You however, can totally rock the ball gown.

AshnRobo

Thanks everyone. I do still LOVE the dress. I think I'm going to go for it.

I talked to my FI about it last night. I told him the dress has everything he hates in a wedding dress and my mom said I look fat in it, but I love it. He said that even if he doesn't like the dress he will still think I look great in it. He made a face when I told him what my mom said.

He said she didn't know what she was talking about.

So, I'm gonna keep dieting, working out, and doing those push ups. I'm gonna rock this dress.

I think you look absolutely beautiful! I didn't reply on your other thread about your mom because it made my blood boil and I couldn't think of anything nice or constructive to say. But, I DO want to tell you how gorgeous and happy and glowing you look in that dress! If your mom didn't ruin it beyond repair for you, you should totally get it! Good luck! :-)

kelsey+brandon

I think the dress looks great on you and it does give you a shape like PP said! I'm so sorry again that your mom felt the need to say such hurtful comments. I'm pretty sure that even if our FI's saw a picture of our dress (unknowingly) and said they hated it, they would love it on our wedding day! Go for it!

Agree! The dress is beautiful and you are glowing! I'd say go for it if you love it!!

franklissa

I totally agree with the PPs. You look beautiful in the dress. You should get it if you feel it is "the dress". They say you really only feel that way about one dress.

Your mom is silly. That dress looks really nice on you. You don't need to lose weight for it to look good; it already does just like that. Women shouldn't feel like they have to cover themselves up if they aren't stick thin; you look like a *woman* and that is always beautiful. Wear what you feel amazing in.

SheilaDancer43

I think you look great, and I can tell that you love the dress by your face in the pic! As long as you love it, and feel good in it, I say go for it! Don't let your mom get you down.

[Deleted User]

Go for it! You look so happy in it and like everyone else said, that's what matters. It's awesome that you have such a supportive FI. I'm glad he took your side. He's right, your mom doesn't know what she's talking about.

midgetthemighty

You look gorgeous! Please ignore anyone and everyone who tells you otherwise, including your mother. You're going to rock that dress!

sleblanc72

Ash, again I say you look gorgeous so that if you are happy with it, and it sounds as though you still love it, definitely go forth and get it!

doeie04

I must have missed the post before this...

I can't believe your mom said that to you! That is horrible!!!!! I think the dress is pretty and you should get the dress you want. Screw your mom.

yeah you are!  get it girl!

niecie_jeff

Oh. My. Gosh. You look amazing in that dress!!! I think it gives you an awesome shape and it looks like it was made for you! Get it!!! As long as YOU love it, that is all that matters. I told you about what my mom said, I almost let her talk me out of getting my dress, but then I took one look at the picture of me in the dress, and went for it. I could not be happier w/my dress. Get it!  

sweet_melissa81

I think you look great in the dress! It's soooo pretty! Just wait until you have your veil on and your all did up. I bet he won't stop being able to smile at you! I really hope your mom apologizes to you for saying something so hurtful to you. As long as you feel fabulous in the dress that is all that matters. After all it is YOUR wedding day!
