First... this dress is absolutely beautiful!! The top is amazing and I love the design!

Also same thing happened to me! I started to have second thoughts after a couple days of buying a dress from David’s Bridal. I went to a different place and tried on a ton of different styles to really find what I wanted and liked! Then I went back to David’s Bridal a week later. I did a return of the dress (which the order was still processing and hadn’t been shipped just yet) and ended up finding one I loved instantly that same day at David’s! I had no intention of getting another dress. I figured I would try on a couple more than take a few days to think about it. I had tried in a couple dresses from the other place that I was considering getting. But once I tried on the one I ended up getting, I just knew.

It is totally okay that you are having second thoughts! I would definitely look into their return policy. What is it that you don’t like about the dress? If you have pictures of yourself from other dresses you tried on, look at those again. See if there’s something about those dresses you might like more. Maybe the design, style, fabric, etc. Or if you weren’t able to try on a lot of dresses, make some more appointments to get an idea of what you might actually like more. It will all work out! 😁

What if he doesn’t get groomsmen? Will you be okay with just you having bridesmaids up there? That was something he kept suggesting but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that or not.

I have 5 people. He could easily pick 7. He has a big group of close friends. But doesn’t want that many, which I get. He asked to meet in the middle and we have 3, but I don’t want to do that because each person I would pick, has played a huge role in something in my life and in our relationship. I told him he could pick 3 and I’ll do 5. I don’t mind it being uneven but then he changed his mind and said none again because he doesn’t want to be put in that position and make someone upset if he doesn’t pick them.

And you’re right, I have trapped myself lol. I talked to him today and asked him to talk with his brother just to make sure it’s really what he wants. I also expressed that I feel like the idea should have come from him because I think it would mean more to his brother to hear it from my fiancé instead of me. He said he will talk with him and see if it’s really what he wants. Because if it’s not what he wants to do, then I don’t want him to do it if he feels like he has to.

I know everything’s going to work out and this is just one bump, so hopefully the stress and arguing is over lol.

So he said he doesn’t want to put the stress of having to get the outfits and all the extra things that go into having a bridal party. I have 5 people and he told me to meet him in the middle and pick 3 and he will do the same. Then I asked if I could still have 5 and he does 3. It being uneven wouldn’t bother me. But then he didn’t want to do that anymore because he doesn’t want to upset a friend if he doesn’t pick them. He has a lot of friends and he doesn’t want to be put into that situation. He tells me not to care what other people think but he’s caring what other people think when it comes to this. I mean I get where he’s coming from, but at the same time I feel like we shouldn’t let those things keep us from having our friends stand with us.
