Any other 2014 brides here getting an early start?

[tyrebride2b2013]

Nope She doesn't even know we are getting married yet. I will invite her to the AHR though. . .

Oh Wow imagine she will be thrilled to know it was her convincing that got you on another date and then married.. will she be disappointed to not be at wedding?

Are you close to stepmom? That'll be nice to have two moms opinions. I want to go to Maryland to the I found the gown store. But that drive is it worth it I wonder for discount dress

Oh were in MD were you thinking of going? My Mom lives in the middle of nowhere.. so I'm not even sure what choices I would have as far as shopping.. My Step Mom is pretty cool... The only thing I need to make sure happens if I end up going with her is that I have gone with my Mom first! haha

Thanks good to know will check them out. I wanted to try ro make but not the crafty one. I want to give to the girls as well

The ones at AC Moore are really nice.. specially if you have to by multiple pairs.

Yes- I am sure she will be disappointed... BUT I have lots of reasons why she is not... My friend that is coming is truly my BFF so in limiting my guest list she was the obvious choice for my 1 friend! My friend that isn't coming... we just aren't that close anymore.... the last time I saw and spoke to her (other then FB comments) was last Sept at our (above) Friend Son's birthday party and the next time I see her will be in Sept at the same Kids birthday party. Which is when I will probably tell her. Oh then there is the fact that she has a boyfriend now.. so she doesn't need friends.... Yes in her 30s she is still like this (Annoying) We live in Different states - about an hour from each other she used to want to hang out in Boston (where I live) alll the time. We used to go to museums and stuff together. Now via FB I see she is in Boston at these same places with her boyfriend - who I have met and like but never ones does she call me and ask me to join them. I really could go on. . . hahah

I'm really not sure what I wanna do... my Mom lives there so I might plan a trip to visit her and we can go dress shopping together... I think she really wants to be there with me. My step mom ... who lives in New Hampshire REALLLLLY wants to go with me.. she has said something a couple of times... The first time she was like. "Can I go dress shopp. . . Oh right never mind you have a mother" then said sorry for asking.. it was really funny. She has no daughters so she is dying to be "mother of the bride" BUT part of me just wants to go by myself and then if I have a couple I reallly really can't decide between get a second opinion. Hmm I guess we will see . . . sounds like I will be safe if I wait til the end of this/beginning of next year to worry about that!

 

Oohhh pictures... I wanna seeeeeeeeeeee

I got so obsessed with sending my dress picture that I didn't respond and ask if you were close to your step  mom...I caught up on the posts since then. I would suggest at least bringing one person with you, although trying on dresses alone won't hurt to narrow it down, I'll bet you'll want an opinion before you decide.

 

I brought my Mom and sister, I didn't want to many people because too many opinions can be confusing and I also wanted people that would be honest yet supportive of what I wanted.

 

Wedding dresses make everyone look beautiful so no matter who you go with whenver you go just have fun!

I'm sure your right... I think when it comes down to it I will want someone there with me.

Definitely gonna check them out Oops sorry got my M's confused meant Massachusetts. .thats qheew the store is from the show. Maybe you will find a few places close to mom. If you have a specific designer you can search shops that sell by location or just Google shops close to mom. Can she take a trip to be closer ro you or a misske point? Then maybe you can all fo together

Yes me too eventhough I've learned from all the shows too msny opinions can be a pain..so have to be firm and get what I want

Enough said. I have grown apart from many of my friends. Especially since I have children and have been in a relationship forever.. I also have a friend who can't have a boyfriend and friends at the same time..which I never understand.

Theres a building in NYC on broadway I think....that's ALL wedding dress places. Google it, and they give HUGE deals

Hope that's true because I have the worst self esteem. Just feel super fat too and so hard to diet and exercise correctly with my schedule
