Weddingbee boards

I voted no, but then I remembered that's not entirely true! I found the first dress I bought on my own, but was having dress doubts. Few months later I saw a Romona Keveza dress here that made me feel like I was punched in the gut. Major dress envy! I called all the stores in my area who carried that line but none of them had the dress yet as it was from the brand new 2010 collection. So I forced myself to forget about it.

5 weeks before my wedding, at that point already having TWO dresses, I coincidentally walked into a store looking for accessories and the Romona Keveza designer was there. He said something like his dresses would look so good on me. I asked him half joking if he had the L195 and he did! He was very excited I knew one of his models by name & number too :) While I had zero intentions of buying a dress that day, somehow I walked out of that store having placed an order.  As soon as I walked out I felt horrible for buying a third dress, I felt embarrassed and stupid. Then I told myself it probably won't get here on time anyway and I'll just sell it. The dress did arrive a week before the wedding...Had to go through rush alterations and didn't fit me so well...And I almost couldn't wear it...But I ended up wearing it anyway, for my reception. And I loved it so so much! So yes, I ended up $3600 poorer because of a WB post but a much happier bride. So I'm very glad I saw that post.

Ironically, the same bride posted a couple months later about how she was no longer sure about the dress because her mom doesn't like it. I wrote to her that she was my dress inspiration and sent her pics from my wedding. I hope she decided to keep it and loved it as much as I did.
