Im going off the DEEP END

[girlkin]

Ladies thanks for all your kind, honest and encouraging comments. I had to take a couple days off of this wedding planning business and I am now seeing things from a new perspective. Unfortunately the original bridal shop only offered to give me back half of my deposit only towards another dress. I even had a chance to chat with the owner and she was so not willing to budge. Anyway I tried to put that behind me and really tried to find a dress--even if it wasn't in that store; and I found one. This whole ordeal really came as a shock to me and to put the icing on the cake I even shed a few tears through it all and my dress is safe and sound at my mom's house . Im happy with my decision and so glad that I can check "the dress" off my list. Thanks so much ladies.

 

Here's the dress on the model:

 

 

and then on me:

 

 

 

Sorry there is not a better picture but the lady at the shop was kind enough to take a picture and send these to me as my phone was dead by this point.

Thank you! I grew up five minutes from the harbor. My parents live right there in Fort Washington. We may know each other

Yes the ceremony will likely be at the Gaylord; however the reception will be held at a new venue that just opened that overlooks the water and the entire harbor. Im excited! Happy planning to you.

wow. That dress looks amazing on you. So flattering to your body type! You're going to make a beautiful bride.

I love dress #2, it is so beautiful on you and really flatters your figure. Dress #1 is a big NO. Maybe it's just the photos, but the fabric looks sort of... cheapy.

 

Buy dress #2 and no more second guessing!

oops, I just read through to the end of the thread and see that you went with a different dress. It looks perfect! Congrats on finding your gown!
