LnDUBS · November 2009

So I think I may have found my dress. The issue is, that I didn't have that feeling like its "THE ONE". I think i'm pretty ok with that, considering I had that moment with my FI, I feel as if I could wear anything down the aisle and it wouldn't matter.

How many of you didn't have that feeling?

julezlee · November 2009

I did have the feeling. Tears and everything. The booze I was drinking all day in order to put up with my mother may have been a contributing factor though.

ggmae · November 2009

I didn't have that feeling either. I think the idea of getting "the One" feeling is over-hyped, so don't worry if you don't get it. I chose the dress that I did because it was on my mind for days, so I figured that was a good enough reason to buy it. I honestly feel that there were many dresses that I would have felt/looked great in, but I got mine because it was in the first batch that I tried on.

I did not have the feeling. My dress is the first one that I tried on and I tried on about 50 dresses after that one and none of the others looked as good on me as that first one did. So that's the one I got. I feel really beautiful in it, but I didn't get all emo or anything.

I had the feeling but it took a little while. I had my heart set on a certain dress, then tried it on and felt very meh. Then I tried on my dress and was excited, but not "omg its the one I'm going to cry" but I kept it in the dressing room while I tried on more. Then I slipped it on after the day was over and walked out again, put on the veil, and looked at dad. That's when I had the "omg I'm getting married" and decided it was "the one". True to fashion, it was also 50% off

I'm going to be lurking on this one. I went dress shopping last weekend and I didn't have a "the one" moment either (though my mom did, several, actually

). But there is one dress I think might be the one I want. So I'm interested!

mocha beans · November 2009

I didn't with the dress, but sorta with my shoes. I'm not a terribly sentimental or emotional person though, so that probably contributed. I liked the dress and I found one for cheap, so I got it. I would probably be happy in most any dress that met some broad criteria.

I think the feeling of a dress being "the one" is a creation of the bridal industry to make brides think they HAVE to have a certain dress, no matter the cost.

Brie2010 · November 2009

I felt A feeling, but I didn't go into hysterics and cry and screech like they do on TV.

I just felt good and kind of warm and fuzzy, and I didn't giveashiit what anyone else thought of it. Every other dress I tried on I asked for 10 million opinions on. This one I bought without a single family member or friend or internet stranger seeing it--just me and the saleslady.

anna.oskar · November 2009

Nope. No "magically knowing it was the one" for me.

It was beautiful, the silhouette fit like it was made for me, it's the first time in ages that I thought I actually looked pretty, and the price was certainly right.

Night_Sprite · November 2009

I chose a flattering dress but it was more elimination than revelation.

julezlee · November 2009

For the record, I didn't screech when I got my feeling.

lins7883 · November 2009

No feeling. The dress was also the least important thing to me (I loathe dresses), so I basically just picked the first one that didn't look horrible.

jessjo04 · November 2009

No tears or angels singing. Just the one that I looked best in.

Nebb · November 2009

I knew it was the one, I tried it on first and loved it and then tried on like 8 others and when I tried the first one on again I started crying and I just had to have it. Im an emotional wretch though.

ring_pop · November 2009

I didn't have the OMG feeling. I was pretty happy and when the saleslady asked me to try on the next, I didn't really feel like taking it off, so I decided to buy it. But I didn't see stars or anything.

RachNRich · November 2009

No certain feeling, I just loved it. It was off the beaten path--and I knew it was more "me" than anything else I had put on.

shellydiane820 · November 2009

I knew it was the dress but I didn't cry. I just kept staring at myself while telling my mom "I'm the prettiest bride in the woooorld"

AmoroAgain · November 2009

I didn't have "the feeling" but I was like, Yep! This is it!

nda_roxybabe · November 2009

Jk- You lost a ton of post huh?

JK10910 · November 2009

Roxy, I had to make a new SN, the new knot didn't like the ampersand in my old name. Hopefully I'll be able to use it again some day, but I lost about 5,000 posts on that SN too. Oh well. Sucks, but not the end of the world.

janedoe1113a · November 2009

I knew it was the dress and I teared up. No squealing though.

mromag1 · November 2009

i picked the first dress that made me smile

brookelynpaisley · November 2009

Sort of, I guess. I knew my dress was The One when I saw it online. When I tried it on, I just got happy. I'm not a cryer, so there were no tears, just galloping around in MY dress.

thesuninherhead · November 2009

I didn't have the feeling for the dress I originally purchased which I didn't end up receiving, but I did when I found the gown I ended up wearing. Not with tears etc, but just a sense of relief- particularly when random shoppers saw me and commented on how perfect it was.

klovesd · November 2009

I didn't have a big mushy omg I'm a Bride!!11!! moment either. I found my dress- it fit great, looked great, and was a great deal, and that was that.

LarissaAnn · November 2009

I did. No craziness, but I teared up. I'm really sappy, though.

HilaryH1231 · November 2009

Smilar to others, it was the one that I couldn't find anything I didn't like about it, the one I didn't want to change in any way--whereas all the previous dresses and been " I like this, but...". I wasn't crying/getting chills, but the more I had it on, the more I liked it.

buttaflai · November 2009

I didn't get sappy, but when I put it on, I knew that was the one I was going to purchase.

whits900 · November 2009

I didn't have the OMG moment either. The whole day I tried on dresses that looked good - but not on me. Then I tried on one that looked good on and was comfortable and went for it. My FMIL and MOH cried though, if that counts.
