My mom warned me not to buy too early, so I did humor her and go to a few different stores and waited a few weeks. But, I was so happy with one of the first dresses I tried on and loved loved loved it and had to have it. But now I'm seriously doubting my decision because of all the dresses I see on this forum. My dress was my mom's gift to me, so I have to keep it. If I told her I wasn't wearing it, she'd be really hurt. So, I guess the best thing to do is stop looking at the wedding dress thread on this forum!!!
