Yes it's true after my first dress diabolical I have officially purchased a second wedding dress. Not many brides can say that they purchased two wedding dresses and one just 2 months before the wedding but I can. This whole experience has now left me feeling that everything happens for a reason and no matter what the outcome of my credit card dispute claim I know I will not regret this decision. THIS is my wedding dress and it was meant to be. Never in a million years would I have imagined this, but I can honestly say now that I know I have closure and a plan B I am happy that I went through this because now I truly have a wedding dress to write home about.
While my original wedding dress was beautiful and it did seem to fit my personality it was extremely simple. It probably would have gotten the job well especially if I was happy in it, a happy bride is a beautiful bride, but happy was clearly no longer an option in this dress, so I moved onto the next one. I also had my doubts about this dress from time to time about its simplicity (and obviously the lack of strapless top). I honestly don't know that I would have picked this dress out the first time around but I know it was meant to be this time. It was the first dress I put on last night and it will be the last wedding dress I try on.
To put it simply this dress is far more elegant, sophisticated, traditional, beautiful and it has the 'wow factor.' The other dress was pretty but it was definitely missing the wow element. When you see this dress, you know right away THIS is a wedding dress, a dress to remember, a dress that will shine all night long. The intricate bead work on the dress just shimmers especially when it catches the light. The sweetheart neckline gives me just the right definition on top in fact it even gives the impression that I might even have a chest. The train is elegant, the way it looks from behind, I can picture it walking down the aisle, I can picture it from up on the alter with the train draping down the stairs. It is a perfect dress for my wedding day.
I was overwhelmed when I saw it last night for the first time, there was so much going through my mind I didn't know what to think. I knew right away though that everyone in the store, including my Mother-In-Law absolutely loved the dress. I went home to think about it and sleep on it just because there was so much going through my mind, and I also wished my Mother could be part of the decision, I do value her opinion so much. I decided to go back and see the dress tonight and my second opinion would actually be the grooms! I know it's not traditional but after everything I went through with the first dress and my emotional state it only seemed logical to bring Mike along and make sure he was comfortable with this purchase as well (since there's the chance we may be paying for two dresses).
When I tried on the dress again I felt even more beautiful in it and it immediately secured my decision and I bought it on the spot. I sent the pictures to my Mom and Matrons of Honor as soon as I got home and all they could also say was wow. I know there is absolutely no comparison to the original dress and somehow this was meant to be my dress. I absolutely know that I will not regret this decision and I will be so happy wearing it and with the way that it comes out in my pictures and memories! I cannot wait to go back and see the dress again and show my Mom in person, but I know she loves it as much as I do already. And I can't stop looking at the pictures of the dress. In the end I guess I can thank Bridals By Roma for screwing up my original dress and giving me this opportunity to get an even better dress.
