I am very easily a push-over. I am actually considering going dress shopping alone for the first time because I am so easily persuaded by others opinions.
well you got it already..but its a veil yes but still you did it to please/make mommy happy . ..so far im buying what i like even though my mom always says her opinion and shes with me everywhere lol.even though my mom thinks everything looks good; im buying what i feel i need to, its so stressing,sord of good too not having FI side here lol. i guess they';; blame me if one thing doesnt look good (:
@Bostongrl25: Ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think it's a good call to go some shopping on your own. If only to get a sense for what you really like on yourself. Good luck!
I have been married once before, and my first wedding was all my mom and MIL! It wasn't a true vision of me. That was a mistake. This wedding is entirely a reflection of me and FI! I couldn't be happier. Just go with your heart and even if your heart says to make mom happy, that's okay too!! Just be happy with your decision and move onto the next one. Good luck!
my gosh i hate to fix even little grammer mistakes so what get the idea duhh whats the big deal://
i hope you can read better now; so sorry you couldnt get any sense out of it (lol)
@Merelton: I almost did while dress shopping. the first dress i tried on I just knew it was the one, it made me feel like a princess and that's all i ever wanted on my wedding day.. but I tried 10 dresses after that one, and it came down to the first and last one.. my 2 maids of honor were going crazy over the last one, and it was beautiful and very fancy, but it didn't feel like me.. so I decided to go home and not buy anything..
then i went back another day with my mom and stepdad and I knew the first one was my dress :) don't listen to other's opinion.. it's YOUR day. wear what YOU like :) hope that helps.
@pandaboo: Thanks! I'm glad you went with the dress you felt best in. I keep thinking that the veil was a small concession because I can always take it off. I think I've learned my lesson. No more tweaking my style to make other people happy! :) Enjoy your dress!!
@Merelton: It's a veil and a belt, these are very minor adjustments. It's okay to do things to please others sometimes, especially your mom.
Bella88 Are you serious? My mouth actually dropped when I read what you wrote to SleepingWithNuns . I know you get upset when people call you out on you style of writing, your grammer, spacing your paragraphs far apart and holding down on the keys when you type words. When I read your post I didn't understand it either. I know you say you type fast but when you skip over words they don't form an understandable sentance. Do you read what you write? Does it make sence to you?
I'm not trying to get on your case or make you mad. I have seen how you write but if you unwilling to slow down and make your sentances understandable people will continue to say "What"?
Personally I'm here to share stories, give opinions and get ideas but I also want my fellow bee's to understand what I write. It would be a waste of time if I got upset at people and had to re-write it just to get my point across.
Absolutely not. If anything, your guests will wonder why you changed your style for the one day. If you do stray from your regular style, you will have regrets. You only get married once (for most people) so be true to who you are. If someone doesn't like it, too bad.

Hi Bees! So I've been thinking about my wedding day style. Once I found the dress of my dreams, I began trying on veils. I am after a very classic look...nothing too trendy and I'm not a very blingy person. The dress consultant quickly added a crystal belt to my dress to "fancy it up"... I'll admit, the belt added something special to the dress and I was on board with the slight change. But after that my mom went wild with the veils...throwing all sorts of blinged out veils on my head. If I had it my way...I would have picked a very simple, unfinished edged fingertip veil, but my mom was all about this crystal-lined veils. I decided to get it because it made her so happy. But I have to admit, I'm not 100% sure I'm liking the veil. Has anyone else out there decided to change up their vision or wedding day style to appease family members/friends? (Or am I the only push-over out there?? ;)
