I'm having the exact same dilema. I love the pics, but I just simply don't know if I can do that to my dress! I've been looking at off the rack dresses, ebay, CL, and on here for a similar dress for a much less price so that I can change dresses for the TTD pics. Another problem I have is my dress was bought when we were planning on a church wedding not DW so it's huge and has a cathedral train. I'm afraid if I went in the water with it I may fall over because it would be SO heavy wet! What to do ....what to do.
