What is wrong with me??(*venting*)

My wedding is 8 months away and i STILL have not went to try on any dresses. FMIL keeps bothering me about it, saying things like "Well, once you get your dress we can...", "You know most people have their dress by now", etc. I know all of that is true but I just have no motivation to go. I know it sounds weird becuz most girls favorite thing about getting married is finding the dress, but I just don't feel like doing it. I guess it's becuz I have gained like 10 pounds in the last few months, and I really dislike my body right now. I have been working out but nothing is changing. On the other hand I know that I NEED to get a dress soon, but I just think I will hate the way I look in them all

Don't stress out too much. Your time will come. I know a couple of gals who are getting married in 6 months or so and STILL haven't tried on even one dress. You'll get motivated enough one day and you'll find the PERFECT one for you!

I bet you have a great time!  A lot of the dresses I tried had inner corsets.  It makes your waste look TINY!

Thanks girls, I appreciate your support. It's just been one of those days.

You probably should go look around at least, you may not choose it right away anyway. Plus the samples are usually really large sizes to accomodate every body. I thought I was going too early, I went when I was at 11 months. But I found mine and ordered it - and it is taking like 5 months to come in! So Im kind of glad I went early, I dont have to worry about it coming at the last minute.

I still have over a year and a half until the wedding but I have a specific style picked out that I can't find anywhere. I'm already threatening to wear a white bikini pam Anderson style . Tried to make it fun with some bubbly when you go. I'm sure one day you'll wake up and be biting at the bits to ty on dresses!!

I'll be honest, I hated the idea of dress shopping and when I finally forced myself to go, I still hated it.  I'm not a size 2 or a 6 or a 10 or a 14, so every dress I tried on was too small and looked terrible.  Except for one dress.  Even 2 sizes to small it looked amazing.  And when I said, okay this is it, they actually had one in my size that I could try on that was a return.  HELLO!?! Amazing.  BUT, I did have to order mine, and it takes 7-8 months.  Well this was in August and my wedding is in May, so it will be very close.  Hopefully I only need to have the dress shortened.  So yeah, it may not be all cuddly puppies and kittens, but you should really just go and get it over with.  That's kind of how I felt and how I still feel.  Luckily I tried on 4 dresses and the 4th was THE ONE.

I can totally relate to you. Right away, my mom was on me to go look at dresses. She was more excited that I was. I kept saying, "I'm not ready yet." I, too, kept thinking - what is wrong with me, I should be really excited about dress shopping. Then I got excited one day, and made 3 appointments. My mom and I both took a day off of work and just had an "us" day. Now it's true not every wedding dress is flattering - but many make you feel like a million bucks, regardless of your weight (espeically, as PP said, those with corset tops)! It's so much different than normal dress shopping.I encourage you just to go and try a few on - try to find a style you like. I bet you'll surprise yourself.

Don't worry, mine is 6.5 months away and I haven't tried on a single dress!!!

My wedding is in January 2010 and I just bought my dress two weeks ago I was dreading dress shopping for the same reasons, I thought they would all like awful. I kept saying I was waiting for this bridal gown show to come to town. So it came in Sept. but I hated all the dresses, lol. I was in the groove and went to David's and found one I love. I bought it off the rack. Now I kind of wish I would have lost 10 lbs and went looking later. But oh well.
