Uh, the dreaded analysis of wedding has hit

So then it got me reviewing mine and all I see now is cheapness. Loved my dress, but love hers and started wishing I experienced that trying dresses on in wedding dress shops, that being able to afford to buy a dress from a dress shop.

Just wanted to say thank you for your post, I hope you are feeling better about things - the photos you have posted are beautiful! But I wanted to let you know you have made me think about something I had thought wasn't bothering me, but now I think might.

I have found a dress I LOVE from ebay, it's not a 'wedding dress' but it's exactly the type of thing I wanted, My mum etc want me to go and try on wedding dresses so 'I don't look back and regret it'. I was adamant I wasn't going to, I don't want to fall in love with an expensive (or worse 'boring' dress!) but after seeing your post and speaking to my mum I have decided I am going to do the whole wedding dress trying on thing, just so I can say I have done it! Fingers crossed I don't fall in love with anything and it makes me love my dress more :-)

Thank you for your post, and I wish you and your husband every happiness!

Definately feeling better. Am pleased you're going to try dresses on. I fell in love with mine (monsoon), ordered it, hoping I'd still love it and I did. I know I said I wish I had tried on dresses and yes I still do wish that, but ONLY if everything was different in that I had my mum and sister able to come along.

Which of course wasn't possible as they were back in Australia. So actually if I had gone wedding dress shopping with friends or maybe my at the time to be mother in law it may of actually just made me hate it that I was doing it without my mum.

I guess the way I did it, as in trying my dress on at home, taking a photo of me in it through a mirror and emailing the photo to my mum was the closest I could get to the 'norm'.

If I had my mum here in England I definately would of gone shopping with her for my dress just to experience that part of it.

OP, you & your hubby had the wedding you wanted and that suited you & your guests.

Everybody is different and has different ideas about what they want. We went to a wedding the year before ours that was really lovely, but made us more decided as to what we did & didn't want for our big day. We're going to one next year in a castle - again, not what I / we wanted.

Please don't compare your day to others - you & your hubby are a unique couple...think how boring the world would be if we all did the same thing!
