I need to know

smileye90 · February 2012

Did you have an omg I want to cry this is the one moment when you found your dress? I am going shopping soon and I would like to have realistic expecatations.

mkrupar · February 2012

I had my dress made, so no.

I've heard not everyone has that moment so don't go in expecting to have it. You'll only be disappointed and feel like none of them are "the one". If you have people coming with you and they start crying. That would give you a godd indication that it's "the one".

Maggie0829 · February 2012

I teared up slightly when I found THE dress but I think it was mainly because I was so happy that I didn't have to try anymore on (I tried on about 30 and was so tired and hot!)

annakb8 · February 2012

Not even a little bit.

LittleMissCutiePie · February 2012

It's different for every woman. Just go in knowing whatever reaction you'll have is the "normal" one.

quirky75 · February 2012

No. I was calm and just felt relieved to find something. The salesgirls were hovering around me acting more excited than I was.

blgrout · February 2012

I definitely did not have a made for tv SYTTD moment. I just found the one I didn't want to take off and knew that was it.

I'm sure some people out there might cry, but I didn't, my sister didn't, and my bestie didn't. If you're basing this poll about crying when you find your dress on SYTTD, just remember that is TV, and it's not as impressive for people to "say yes" if they don't have an "OMG!" crying/tears moment.

My dress was the second one I tried on. I tried on about 12 others and none of them IMO were as pretty, made ME look good, and were as comfortable as the second. I love my dress but I wasn't emotional about it. Even my mom was like "I love it!! Wait, am I supposed to be crying right now? Why am I not crying?"

I didn't even cry when I found out my dad had his eye on that one as soon as we walked into the bridal shop. Generally I am not an emotional person, so if you aren't either... you probably wont cry. Also, for the record, you don't HAVE to cry to love something. All of the TV shows show crying brides for the ratings IMO.

I had a "holy crap" moment with a lace one I tried on. Loved it more than anything, as soon as I saw my reflection I was incredibly surprised. But my hips looked ginormous in it. The dress I ended up buying didnt take my breath away but I did feel extremely happy.

graysquirrel · February 2012

Nope. Mine was also the second one I tried. I knew I liked it, but I went to another store just to be sure. I just remember running my fingers over it and smiling in the mirror. I think that the big emotional outbursts are more a product of hollyood than anything else.

Katelyn89 · February 2012

Nope. I am not an overly emotionally expressive person. I liked the dress more than the others, so I bought it.

Ditto. I bought the first one I tried on and that was that.

mkrupar · February 2012

And both Anna & LC looked flucking fantastic in their dresses. Sans tears.

whitsy · February 2012

Not at all. I wasn't in love with my dress though, so maybe I would have felt differently. It wasn't the one I wanted, just the one that the three people with me said looked the best.

tpender13 · February 2012

I really liked mine, and was only debating because I felt like there was a couple more stores I wanted to look at. Then as I was about to change back into my clothes, U2's "Beautiful Day" came on in the shop. It made me tear up and decide to buy the dress, because long story made short was that H's original plan was to propose to me the day of the U2 concert before it got postponed.

Had the song not come on I probably wouldn't have gotten emotional.

chrryblndchick · February 2012

It wasn't when I had mine on, but rather when I tried others on after it that I knew. I had two other favorites before I tried on the one I bought, tried those on againt after the one I and they just weren't the same.

TiffannieF · February 2012

I only see 3 posts even though the board said there was over 20 responses...can't see the OP either but if you can see my post and what I've gathered is OP is asking if you had the "OMG this is the one" dress...

OP, no I did not. I actually got super scared afterwards and loss sleep. A friend told me to chilax and wait until the dress came in. She was right! When it came in I was much happier with it. I still don't think its the perfect dress but I don't regret it either...I'm married to my H and that was the best part of the entire wedding!

Lobsters25 · February 2012

I didn't have much of a reaction at all, but when I try it on now for fittings I get really excited to see it.

Summer2011Bride · February 2012

I didn't cry. It was the first dress I tried on (I saw it in the window of the bridal store and knew I Had to try it on). But then I tried on about 7 others at that store, plus a bunch at a different store. I knew it was "the one" when every dress I tried on got compared to it. I was excited about it, but not overly emotional. FWIW though, I didn't cry during my ceremony either. It takes a lot to get me to cry, esp. in front of other people.

texasgurly13 · February 2012

I didn't cry either, but my mom did. I just knew it was the one and I look awesome in it. And it was in my budget.

<div>Can I just say you made me feel so much better when I read this?? I bought my dress because I wanted to be sure my mom helped me pick it out and it was one of the only times I would have been able to go shopping with her. I have been stressing that it it just wasn't "the one" but your comment brought me back to reality and made me realize the most important part of a wedding. Thank you for that :) A dress is an article of clothing, not a life-long commitment!</div>

i knew exactly what i wanted when i went in so i only tried on 2 styles because i could not find the exact style # (sample was sold) so the 2nd one i tried on was extremely similar & that was it.

I have not had my aha moment yet, i know i will though, i was rushed in the store & when i had it on at home my hair was not done or anything so i did not feel beautiful.

Habs2Hart · February 2012

I didn't. But I felt amazing in it and loved it. I didn't want to take it off and I couldn't take the smile off my face, that's how I knew. My friends and mom could judge how I liked everything by my body language.

myname1234 · February 2012

no. I honestly had dress envy of the ones on display. I had a budget to stick to, and i'm happy with my choice.

but it's not "the dress"..."the dress" was way out of my range.

jemmini6 · February 2012

I didn't cry at all, or even get emotional. I just didn't want to take it off and kept smiling.

dogsandfrogs · February 2012

When I first put it on I thought it was prettier than anything else I had had on, but that was really all I felt about it. After standing, sitting, walking, and dancing around in it for 10 minutes, I didn't want to take it off. That's how I knew it was the dress. I got a little emotional, but it was partially due to the fact that I'm a sympathetic crier and my mom, sister, and best friend were absolutely bawling their eyes out over it, and I finally had the "oh my gosh I'm getting MARRIED moment".
