I made a dress appt... (long)

So I have been wicked stressed about the f&*^ dress...  FI and I got into a big fight last night about why I've been so grumpy and short with him.  I laid it all out there...  I don't fit into the dress, I was worried about him being pissed that I spend money on the dress that doesn't fit and I am trying to figure out what to do.  On top of the fact that homeslice hasn't done a few wedding related tasks but has had plenty of time to play golf and watch football. Come to find out - he admitted that he hasn't been listening to me (that's a new one by the way) and he didn't realize that I was up to my ears in stress.  He said don't worry about the money - it sucks but he'd rather me be happy so figure out what to do to fix it and if it means buying a new dress then just get on with it and sell the other one.I called the seamstress this morning.  She said that she is still concerned about the dress and letting it out.  So I told her just to hold it until next week because I will most likely try to sell it.So, I have come to terms with the fact that I will most likely be buying a dress this weekend.  I made an appt at DB and my mom is coming up to help.  Hopefully I will be able to find something that I love and won't have to worry about this anymore...   UGH - drama drama drama....

  • I'm so sorry that you are so stressed out right now!  Good luck at DB!  I hope you find something you love.  I was there the other day buying a veil and they had some really pretty new stuff in!

  • ::HUGS:: I am stressing about the same thing. I go for my first fitting on Oct. 3 and as of right now I can't get my stupid dress over my fat hips. I was stupid and bought it a size too small, then put on weight so it was 2 sizes too small and am now up a creek without a paddle. I PRAY that they will be able to do SOMETHING to get it to fit. So I totally understand how you feel.
  • I'm sorry to hear about all the stress! Good luck with your new dress search, I'm sure you will find something that you love and look gorgeous in! It does stink that you have to spend the extra money, but really... this is your wedding! In the long run spending that money won't matter, but your memories and how you felt that day WILL matter. At least you are planning to sell the other dress, so it's not like a total loss. I think you're making a good decision, better to fix a problem then just be super stressed over it.
  • This wedding stuff does get pretty stressful at times, doesn't it?  I really don't think that our FIs understand what we are going through - it's gotta be a 'guy thing'! I'm sure everything is going to fall into place for you.  Hang in there!  *hugs* and *vibes* that you find the perfect dress this weekend.
  • I'm so sorry Kelly.  Hopefully this weekend will be very successful.  I was at DB last night and they have some really beautiful dresses right now.  :::hugs:::
  • I'm sorry about the dress, but try to relax, you will find a beautiful dress that will fit you perfectly. And as far as fi goes I'm in the same boat with you.  My fi isn't one bit interested in the planning or all the sh*t I have to go through to plan this dream wedding "we" want. It's a lot of work but honestly I enjoy doing it while he wouldn't know where to start.  This is why we plan weddings and they sit back and watch football because we're much better than men ;o)
  • :::Vibes:::: that you find another dress this weekend. Sorry that you're all stress out, things will fall in place soon, you'll see.GL

  • The stress sucks, the situation sucks and the dress issue sucks really bad. **Hugs** I hope you can either get your dress fited or get a new one. I know everything will work out somehow, just hang in there and we are here for you everytime you need to vent.
  • Sorry to hear about your dilemma, but I agree, it's prob better to fix the problem then to stress out about it.  If your seamtress can't let your other dress out, at least you'll get some of your money back by selling it.  GL!  Lots and lots of dress vibes for you and Tracy!
