Anyone else's mom freaking out over TTD?

You could always get a used dress or a $99 dress for your TTD, but I think it's silly to keep your original in tact if you're never going to wear it again.

I haven't gotten past the first page of this thread, but my grandma is totally freaked out by this idea. I agree that the name implies that it is much worse than it actually is. Maybe over time the name will change...? Ha - that might help some After all, we're not really intending to TRASH our dresses, right?!

 

What I am concerned about is taking it back on the plane - I'll only have 1 full day for it to dry...

I bought my own dress so its my money if anything happens to it. My Mom and my Dad think i am crazy but neet once i explaned.

 

Here is a different idea if you have a few friends who are married and you all still have your wedding dresses. My one cousen and her friends had a neat idea, they all put their wedding dresses on one night and went out all dressed up.

My mom thought I was a little crazy but figured whatever I want to do...until I showed her a thread in the Jamaica subform that shows a TTD at Dunn's River Falls. She could not get over how nice the pictures look. Also, she finally understood that trash just means it gets wet (really wet) and a little dirty. Also, I explained that it will clean fine...

 

Actually, when I mentioned it to my photographer to see if she could do a TTD session with us the day after the wedding (we are flying a local photogapher down to Jamaica), she explained that she loves to do these sessions and that she calls them "Love the Dress" sessions...it sounds more romantic and much nicer.
