Eh, I didn't have a "this is the one" moment. I do think the wedding industry sensationalizes the entire process. But, there are a lot of other women who had that moment when they knew the dress they tried on was the perfect one for them. Who knows? But take your time, you'll find something!
I never dreamed of a perfect wedding dress, or really any type of wedding dress. My dreams were more about the theme of the wedding itself, yet I did find my perfect dress. Keep your chin up and your willingness to keep trying running strong. It's out there.
I've had this thought too. I actually found my dress online, without ever stepping into a bridal salon. And while I'm a little sad about missing out on the whole "trying on 100 dresses" thing - I'm relieved at the same time that I don't have to deal with it.
Trust your gut, and take your time. Don't give in to the pressure of sales people. You'll find it. =)

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
I started my dress search last Saturday. I must say it was fun. I had all the appropriate undergarments, my inspiration book, and my friends in tow and was sufficiently loosey on pomegranate mimosas.
Saturday: one shop, nothing.
Sunday: two shops, a few things, but not exactly "the one" and two that I liked were waaaaaaaay out of my price range. Actually, I found a dress that's a little different and lovely and only $400, but I told myself I'd keep looking since I didn't feel like it was quite "the one".
Monday: several shops and nothing.
I'm not overly concerned or frustrated by this. I know that finding the right dress takes time and patience, and I was very happy being surrounded by friends and family at various intervals. I've taken a more calm and serene attitude about the whole thing, since in my opinion that's the healthiest way to go about it.
But that doesn't change the fact that last night, FI and I went to look for his wedding suit and we had it found and bought (INCLUDING SHOES) for well under budget and in about an hour and a half.
WTF???
Do we do this to ourselves? Is the perfect dress really just an illusion fabricated by the wedding industry? Do I - I who never dreamed about my perfect dress - really need to find "the one"?
Anyone else dealing with this?
