I had my fiance pick between three dresses. :) I needed help/input. So yup he definitely knows what it looks like. I probably won't show it to him in person though and not on me.
FI saw the picture of my dress on the Kenneth Pool model. I don't care though. He won't even remember what it looked like when he sees it on me and that picture was a different color as well.
Er, I meant to imply that the dress looks fairly different in person and more so on me so I'm secure in feeling that there will be an element of surprise.
lol! i have been so afraid that my FI would see my dress somehow because i put pictures of it on my laptop for the bee! i think if he did come across it he would never actually tell me he saw it and just act surprised the day of. one time though he saw a dress in a magazine and commented on how ugly it was and i had to lay down the law and tell him he was NOT allowed to make comments about any dresses in front of me because what if it ended up looking just like my actual dress??
your fiance sounds adorable. hey - the good news is he likes it!!! i wouldn't worry too much because you know this is the case, so you have absolutely nothing to fear come the day of and can be so content knowing he'll think you're a stunner.
i am petrified of my fiance not liking mine and would ask his input were it not for the fact that he is dead set on being surprised. he likes very simple attire and i'm into more fashion-y stuff, so i am worried! but my hope is that the whole me-in-a-big-dress thing will override any critique :)
Nope. I won't let him see before the wedding. If my FI did what yours had done I would be sad, too! I did offer to let him see the dress I'm not wearing anymore, but he said no since he's afraid it would still be bad luck.
Well, if he's a nosy bugger, it serves him right. Just remind him that he ruined the surprise for himself! Mine didn't see my dress and told me he liked other styles much more--princessy, poofy styles that didn't look good on me. I kept showing him ugly dresses and being like, "I got something like this" just to mess with him.
I really would not be worried about it. The dress will look completely different on you than the stick model that is on the website!
Yep! My FI saw a pic of the model wearing my dress. I was actually the one that showed it to him. Don't worry about it! That is pretty cute that he that!!
haha....this sounds just like my FI! I haven't picked out a dress yet but I'm sure that when I do he'll search high and low to find a picture of it. He is TERRIBLE at surprises. He said he had a whole awesome proposal planned out that involved us getting all dressed up and going out to a fancy dinner our 3rd evening vacationing at the beach. And then he was going to take me down to the water afterwards and propose at sunset. Well, he was so excited that he proposed the first night, in the hotel room, at like 12:30am. He wanted to call our family and friends right then to tell them I said yes, but I had to remind him that because he was too excited to wait, no one was awake for us to tell! It's so him, which is why I still loved it.
I have already told my FI to stay away from the Hive because there is a picture of my dress. I hope he has.
I took my fiance dress shopping with me. He said he wanted to come along, and honestly, with the amount of money the dress cost I didn't see any reason why he shouldn't have a say in it since it's our money, not just mine. :) He didn't want to come along to every single one, but the trip he came on happened to be the one where I found the dress.
I probably wouldn't have gotten the one I did without his encouragement even, because while I loved how it looked it was at the upper end of the budget. But he loves how I look in it and wants me to wear it on the anniversaries and the whole nine yards, which means he's also understanding that with alterations it's going to go above the original $$ amount we had budgeted.
haha aw thats kinda cute...my FI is actually pretty involved with my dress and picking it out. Although once I decided on one without asking him about it first I was so excited that I am hiding it from him bc I was to surprise him but I def dnt think its a biggie and huge plus...he likes it!!
It's def. a sweet thing that he's interested and curious. FI doesn't want to know anything. I tried telling him some of the details and he covers his ears and jokingly goes "LA LA LA LA LA LA" LOL I think you're ok. ;)
I would be a little mad but I also think its cute that he was so excited he couldn't wait to see it. Also, seeing you in the dress is way different then seeing a model.
He's seen pictures of it online, but not me in it. He likes it..he doesn't care that much as long as I am happy lol
I have showed him pictures of many I was considering, and he did see the final 2 contenders. But I didn't tell him my choice. And they other day I decided to throw him off a bit, which worked, because he has CONVINCED himself my dress is blue. I saw the color escape from his face when he created this delusion, but he tried to act supportive and excited. So no, I don't think he has a clue.
Thanks for the comments... I don't feel that bad about it anymore. Now it's just one less thing that I will probably worry about on the day of.
aaaaand he promised to stop snooping :)
I show pics of my dress to my fiance all the time (my mom is making it). How you look in it on the wedding day will be so different from anything else.
I think it's sweet your FI was so excited!
yes. but he doesn't know that I know. And not on me.
I was sending him a link to a thread, and I sent the wrong link (to the middle of the page where my dress was posted (by me), instead of the top of the page, where I wanted him to see someone else's post). I then freaked out and was like "OMW! No! Don't scroll down!" and sent him the right one, but I am 99% sure he had already seen it. I asked, "Did you see anything else?" and he said no, but he avoided looking at me when he said it.
Whatever, I don't think it's a big deal. He'll likely forget, and the dress will look way different on my curves anyway, as opposed to the waif-ish model. :)
sort of. we got in a big fight one night and I threw the fabric at him that my dress was made of. so I guess he saw the fabric, which kind of gave away what my dress would be like since he knew it was a mermaid too.
he still doesn't know what it looks like on you does he? even if he saw it online, it will still look much better in person and on the wedding day!
At least he didn't see a picture of you in it! It always looks so different on the model so I'm sure he'll still be surprised.
Before we got married, I would have done anything to get my husband to look at my dress! I really wanted his input, but he didn't want to look because he wanted to be surprised. So, I would have felt lucky to be in your shoes, lol.
My FI still has no idea what I'm wearing, but I have a hard time not describing my dress when I'm talking about our wedding day. It's a ball gown so I keep wanting to mention the size of it, but I don't want to describe it any more than I already have.
I'm sure you're going to look beautiful in your wedding dress and your FI will be stunned even if he knows the style. He still doesn't know what it looks like on you, and once you add your veil, jewelry, and hair to it, it will look different anyway.
WOW I would be pissed....It's like snooping around on you...IDK it's just weird...My fiance would never do that to me. I would kinda be offened...he had no right. That's just me tho....And my fiance and I have a very healthy relationship...
just a bit odd...
Haha your naughty FI. What a cute story.
I showed my FI the pics of all my top contenders and he knows which one is mine! It will look TOTALLY different on me than it does all set up and on the model. I'm REALLY serious about FI not seeing me in the dress (or any wedding dress!) until I'm walking down the aisle...like, I would never do a first look...but I am ay-okay with him knowing what it looks like in general. Plus, allowing him to see my dress helped me articulate the feel I was hoping for in our wedding in general!
FH saw it in a pic, didnt like it made a comment, made me devo. I went on a search for new dress.. he then asked to see my in my original dress because i was upset, and turns out he loves it :) he said pic didnt do it justice.
But yes it was horrible weekend... and if FH sees it after the alterations part from the day, i would be sad. :(
FI saw an email pic of me in the sample dress for 2 seconds.
i was upset for a minute, but then got over it... it was my fault for having left that page up, and his sneaky fault for going onto my e-mail screen... knowing that i had just been talking about it with a friend.
but i'm over it, it wasn't MY Dress and i still think it's going to be a shocker when we have our FIRST LOOK :D
Awww - you should be happy that he's so excited!
I really wouldn't be too concerned, I don't think most guys pay as much attention as we ladies do to dress details.
I'm SURE he'll still be blown away when he sees you for the first time with your hair all up and your make up done.
that's just weird.
i told my fiance i wanted to keep my dress a secret. he knows that somewhere on my computer is a file of pictures, but he would never ever snoop to find them.
that would be just immature and weird.
my fi actually saw a picture of me in my dress...fortunately it was hard to even tell what it would look like on me in the picture and I doubt he will remember anyway
The thing about it was, I didn't want to keep my dress a secret at first. I felt strange spending that amount of money on something without his input. Also, he knows me the best out of anyone and I thought he would help me make the best choice out of anyone.
He didn't want any part of it. My fiance flat out refused to look at dresses with me (on the computer or in person) or to have a "first look".
It was him being so adamant that we stick with "tradition" that made me excited about the surprise... and when he confessed to snooping he told me that all of my chatter in the beginning was what made him so curious about it. He is not normally the guy who invades my privacy or does questionable things.
I'm not upset about it anymore, and I'm sure that he just saw a picture of the dress model and not me, so it will still be a surprise for both of us.
It's def not the end of the world. I mean, he now knows the general 'look' of it, but if he had identify it in a lineup I doubt he'd be able to. And like EJS said, it's his fault he saw it, you didn't do anything wrong as far as trying to keep it secret.
My FI hasnt' seen the dress I ended up with, but I showed two other ones to him and got his feedback. He's never actually seen me in a dress, but I almost bought two other dresses at different points and showed him because I was second guessing it. I'm glad I did, but I decided not to show himt he final one because I was 100% sure that at least I loved it, so I know that he will at least pretend to like it!
I'm surprised he wanted to see it! I'm glad he liked it though, because he's going to love it even more on you.
Mine is hanging right in our bedroom, so if he wanted to look, he totally could. I doubt he will, though.
I had FI help me narrow down my picks because I wanted to see what he liked. So he saw pics of me in the dresses at the dress shops. But I ended up having my dress custom made so he has no idea what it looks like. Well I guess I don't really know what it's going to look like til it's done either. haha
Don't worry too much about it! He saw the pic of the dress but you will look SO MUCH better in it than the model so he will still be blown away! That's really cute that he looked for it though :-)

So, my darling fiance told me today that curiosity got the best of him and he did something.
He came on weddingbee and searched for my username... specifically to find out what my dress is. Of course my post came up, saying that my dress is Casablanca 1858. He went to the website and checked it out.
He likes it, so I guess that's good. But I feel pretty awful about it.
I can't really say that it surprises me, he was the type of kid who searched the house for "santa" presents and he's terrible with surprises. When he went ring shopping for the first time he was so excited that he told me about it as soon as he came home. Oh well.
Did your fiance see your dress before the wedding?
