Do you keep your dress on all day?

May be different for me as we are getting married on a cruise ship, have visions of getting married and then taking it of as will be too fat!! to sit at the table in the evening etc! know a tables a table but as we are in a small retauraunt not really sure. Once it's off it won't go on again will it! Just wondered how many of you change?

    I am keeping my dress on all day, I don't get married til 2.30pm so it's not as if I'll be in it ALL day, but I'd really love the evening guests (arriving from 8pm) to see me in it too and I don't think it's worth changing after about 9pm just for a few hours.

    I think i am going to stay in the dress all day, it is the only time i am planning on wearing the dress!
    Do think it may be more comfortable if i could change, but i am going to enjoy looking thinner than usual (great ribbing!).

    All day for me.

    All day for me too!

    I'm so indecisive I can't even think about making a decision and finding another outfit :rotfl:
    It might also mean I have more than 2 dresses in my wardrobe and we can't be having that!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

  • I hadnt really thought about it yet. Got 15 months til the big day, so no rush i suppose, lol.

    I'm not sure what to do. I am a bit of metal chick, so always dressed in black and live in my New Rock boots. I will however be going for a fairly traditional dress, (just to shock people, lol). I'm not yet sure if I want a different outfit that is more me for the evening. Decisions, decisions, lol

    I'm having my dress made, so want to get my money's worth from it!

    I had mine on all day, then again the next day for some special photos.
    Though my shoes were a little too small so I took my trainers with me for the reception. They looked good hanging from the indicator stalk of the Rolls Royce :rotfl:

    Considering how much I'm paying for it, I'll be wanting to keep it on the next day too!

    I can't wait to wear it :D
