Dopers, help me pick a wedding dress!

Update - with 40 days until the wedding, the dress is fitted and tonight, I washed its 100% polyester self in the tub w/ Kroger brand Woolite and cold water. It smells nice and hasn’t shrunk yet… I may have to have the seamstress go over a couple of appliques with white thread when she presses it, but the only thing left for me to do is get a corset and heels and I’m ready to roll.

I realize this isn’t earth-shattering news to anyone besides me, but the fiancee wants no knowledge of the dress goings-on until The Day and I have no real support sysem within 6 hours’ drive. Ya’ll are it.

Thanks for listening!

Ah, good news! You know, I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how everything was going.

Thinking happy wedding thoughts in your direction!

Here’s an action photo of the dress!!

I had it on for maybe two hours, then changed to a more comfortable dress for the 90+ degree heat.

I didn’t look at the date of the OP and was all set to come in here and tell you my opinion on the dresses there.

Anyway, congratulations to a married Doper(s)!
And even though you didn’t ask, as to the dresses in the OP, it would have been 4,1,2,3,5, in that order.

Congrats to both of you!!! Looks like the perfect dress for you.

Dude, you are GORGEOUS. Congratulations!!!

Let your husband (hee!) know that I sent that picture to my mom. She thinks he’s the bee’s knees.

Well, what did he think of the dress? Typical Doper, posting on your wedding night…we’re hopeless.

Congratulations, and I hope you had a cup of she-crab soup over at Tommy Condon’s and a plate of ribs from Sticky Fingers.

We’d had nachos at the ballfield, so we just had cider at Tommy Condon’s and Sticky Fingers catered our reception. Mm-mm good BBQ! It’s great to be back in Charleston, it will always feel like home to me.

I loved the dress–it was simple, yet simply elegant–but it was only one piece of the overall ensemble. She put up her hair beautifully, and made herself up perfectly. All I could focus on though were her beautiful brown eyes and the reflection of a smiling me in them. ::sigh::

Wow. :smiley: I married the girl I love. Weird, eh?

Oh, I am so jealous! I would crawl across a field of broken glass for a plate of their ribs. It’s the only thing I miss about SC.

No, sweetie, that’s what you’re supposed to do. Congrats and go enjoy your life together!

Not weird at all, romantic!

Sigh, I envy you two. There doesn’t seem to be any market for a fifty two year old, slightly used baker like myself. Isn’t the way to a man’s heart supposed to be through his stomach? This girl would cook and bake to his heart’s content. :stuck_out_tongue:

The fastest way to a man’s heart is directly through the ribs to the left of the sternum, quick twist with the blade - but maybe that’s just me.

Ivylass, you know Sticky Fingers will ship ribs anywhere in the US, right?

I made myself not cry in the ceremony, so instead I had a horrible runny nose through the whole thing. Thankfully, I had a hanky.

Ooo, here I am tearing up–you both look lovely (no offense, dude). Sounds like you are appreciating and enjoying every moment! Congratulations!

Congratulations, you two!

(Honestly. Taking off time from the honeymoon to post on the Dope! What a pair you two are!

:slight_smile: :slight_smile: )

You’re all so kind to say such nice things. I posted a few more pics in that same album just now.

Alright I made an album just for the wedding pictures and the other links won’t work anymore, I don’t think.

This will, though.

You lucky bastard!

Enjoy! May you two have many happy years together!

I noticed on the other pages a number of cat pics.

:: nods approval ::

Congratulations, you are a beautiful couple. :slight_smile:
