How did you keep quiet??

Klyn1983 · February 2012

How did you keep your dress a secret from your fiance? I'm dying over here. I want to show him SO bad! I don't know how I'm going to keep it quiet 'til next June.

Try not to think about it too much

Plus I know my DH really didn't want to see the dress before the wedding so I didn't want to ruin his surprise which kept me in check.

Although I did have a moment where I almost told him. We were watching the Glee wedding special and the mom was wearing my dress. I yelled OH MY GOD and then had to pretend I just read something crazy on TK so he wouldn't suspect anything. Oops!

My DH was totally against seeing or hearing any details about my dress. So much that if someone started to talk about it in front of him, he would stop them. Because of that it was easy for me. I remember wanting to tell him all the details about it too. Don't worry, your FI will love your dress and he will see it all in due time!

I think your anticipation is just a personal trait. I didn't have any personal feelings like I had to share it. I think Cori's advice is great.

I've felt this way too, sometimes. Like, I want to show him a group of photos of dresses, with one being mine, and have him try to guess which is mine. But I can't!

I really really wanted to show my FI at first because I was really really excited about it. However, he doesn't want to know any details about it so I just stopped looking and thinking about it with him around.

I think for me it was difficult because we share everything with each other and this is the one piece of information about the wedding that he doesn't know beyond it's white and long.

We're doing photos before the ceremony so I could care less if my FI sees my dress. Chances are he's going to go to my next dress appointment anyways to help me pick out a dress. I think it's only fair because I helped him pick out a suit.

Obviously I don't really follow many wedding traditions though...I guess in your case you should just try not to think about it?

Thanks ladies, I think once the excitement wears down a bit it'll be easier. I know he doesn't want to know anything about it so I just have to put it out of my mind a little. My grandma told me this morning to just pretend that if I tell him, I can't wear that dress and I'll have to buy something I won't like as much.

Kind of a strange tactic, but I'm going to try it!

I gave my fiance all sorts of "hints" these hints included total outright lies, like:
- it has huge poufy sleeves
- it's actually purple (his least fave color)
- it's got a huge bow on the butt

Every time he would comment on any ugly fashion trend, I would joke "Oh. dang! that's what my dress looks like"

It was a fun way for me to distract myself because I really wanted him to know what it looked like. He couldn't have care less what my dress looked like though.

When I decided on the dress it was really hard not to tell my FI. Then when it was shipped to our house I want to put it on for him! It has been in our closet for four months now and he has never once tried to look at it. He says he wants to be surprised. After this I stopped thinking about it and we do not talk about it. With the wedding almost three months away it is getting harder but my first dress fitting is coming up so the dress will be out of the house. You can do it!!

Haha. My FI helped me pick out my dress. It was pretty spontaneous, really, the Limited was having a crazy sale so we just picked one out and boom! Wedding acheivement unlocked.
