I’m going to give you a short background first, please bear with me…

I recently bought a gown that I thought was really pretty and fit into the idea of what my style was. The thing is, I didn’t get that feeling like I wanted to try it on everyday or even take a peek at it.

I recently (totally by accident, thanks to the Bee!) came across a picture of a dress. It was gorgeous!! This dress haunted my dreams for two weeks. I finally decided that I had to try on this dress or I would go crazy.

The fabulous ladies at my local David’s Bridal were more than happy to help me sort out this whole dress mess. They put the dress on me. <dramatic pause>

It was the ONE!! I teared up. Two of the girls started tearing up.  So I made an appt to exhange the dresses. My mom and one of my girlfriends have been asking for pictures of me in this “dream dress”.  But I’m not ready to share. I want to have more than a “wow” moment. I want a “holy crap, you’re gorgeous” moment.

Is that selfish? Have any of you bees kept your dress a secret?

I say keep it a secret as long as you want. I know some brides don’t get to have that ‘WOW’ feeling with their dresses, so I am glad you got to! It must be a good feeling knowing you found a dress that makes you feel so special. You can make them wait, but maybe if you show it to them you will get even more of that wow reaction you are feeling.

I kept my dress a secret from people! My husband didn’t see it until I came down the aisle, and only close fam and my moh saw it before hand
