I can't be the only one who wore her glasses on the wedding day, right? I briefly considered getting contacts, but remembered how much it sucked when I had them the last time (I have issues with putting things in my eyes) so I decided to just wear glasses. I had a little anxiety over it at first, because I always thought that updo + glasses = schoolmarm, but that is SO not true! I love seeing brides in glasses (OBB did a post about it a while back).

Even if you don't wear glasses, imagine if you did--would you consider wearing them for your wedding? Why or why not?

And as usual, pics are welcomed. :D

Whoa, I'm on a poll roll today...rofl.

I plan to wear glasses on my wedding day. I wouldn't feel like myself without them.

@iheartnerds: That was my thing, too. I'd feel weird without them, like I was half-dressed or something. DH has a thing for glasses, too, though he doesn't need them (lucky!).

I rocked the glasses...here are a few pics. Crappy eyesight runs in my family; lucky me!

Thanks! Feeling better about glasses now? ;) I've worn glasses for so long that they're basically part of my face...that, and my eyesight is really for shit so going without them would have been a fantastically bad idea.

@heatherkristin: It's all about finding the right shape for your face (and, of course, having them fit properly as well, because it's way awkward when they don't). I was skeptical about angular frames until I tried them--in general, I think angular is best for a rounder face and round frames work for narrow faces.

I was determined to wear contacts by the wedding day until I thought about it more.  I've never worn contacts and I've had my glasses for about 15 years.  I also realized I won't look any less beautiful with my glasses on and as you said, it just fits me better.  I've never worn contacts so I would look nothing like myself if I did on one day just because I felt pressured.  My FI even told me he plans to wear his now too (he doesn't technically have to, he just gets a headache if he doesn't for long enough).  

@heatherkristin: No problem! Glad I could help. :)

@mandb122: The pressure thing is what almost did me in, until I realized, like you, that I just wouldn't look right without them. Plus, you don't have to worry about losing a contact from crying if you just wear the glasses, right?

@Mrs Grape: That and I don't have to go through the torture of putting my finger to my eye on my wedding day.  

Thanks, all. :) Sometimes I wonder if I'm being a wuss about the finger-to-eye thing, but I also have allergies which makes contacts a little impractical as well (since I rub at my eyes about a million times a day sometimes--baaaad habit, I know).

I was kicking myself at the ceremony because I forgot them on the counter!  lol It was such a hectic start to the day that those just kinda slipped through the cracks.  However I DID remember and wear my glasses for the reception:

@dodgercpkl: I love those pictures--you look beautiful!

@veganglam: Years of practice, I think. I've only recently become comfortable with wearing them, to be honest; a lot of that confidence came from finding a frame that worked with my face shape instead of against it.

@Bellanouva: When I had a makeup trial, the girl doing my makeup would periodically stop and let me slip them on to see how it looked. I think it's easier to do your own makeup with glasses vs. having someone else do it, if only because you can get right up to the mirror and see what you're doing.

@Mrs Grape:  Thank you!  :)  I love your pics too!  :)

@blondeeebuckeye: If you have red and/or silver anywhere else in your outfit, I think that pair would be fabulous. :)

@blondeeebuckeye: If your prescription's not hella strong (and therefore expensive to fill), maybe you could find another frame that would go with your ensemble...although I don't think your glasses necessarily have to match. :)
