Say Yes to the Dress

Any of the weddings that I've been in, the bride went with only one or two people until she had decided on and ordered the dress. Both brides also took us in shifts if she needed us to try on our dresses.

One thing I was really glad for was my brother's wife took my mom and I to the Bridal store and had me try on my dress for her, and then she tried on her dress for my mom. We didn't know it then, but my mom had stage four bladder cancer at the time. She passed about three months before the wedding. But, during her illness she talked about how beautiful it was going to be all the time. I was really glad she got the chance to visualize the ceremony at the very least. It takes a special kind of woman to WANT to go to the Bridal store with her future mother-in-law.


Back to the show, here's another question I've been thinking of. Why are all these women bringing their fiance's to the store? Granted, I'd want to be sure he liked it, but whatever happened to the element of surprise?

I don't think I would do that, but I think some people are less traditional and are wanting to involve the fiance in every aspect of the planning, even the dress.

There was one bride in an episode who brought her fiance along to look at dresses (and looked at like 5 or 6 of them), but didn't tell him which one she chose. I thought that was neat because it got him involved, but still kept the element of surprise.

That's a good idea. It looks like the consultants get a little peeved about the fiance being there though!
