@Copa I’ve never had the desire to try any dresses on or even imagine a wedding dress until I got engaged. Now…..I don’t even know what to imagine!
Do you all watch Yes to the Dress? I adore that programme. But when or if it comes to that time I’m going go to local dept store or charity shop/internet and see what I can find for less then 500. But I do intend to go try on a few normal dresses, but just for fun. You wear it for less then 8 hours so for me, I wouldn’t want to spend thousands.
Count me as someone who secretly wants to try on wedding dresses, just for the fun of it. I like Say Yes to the Dress too- I’m so fascinated by what people choose! And I like to think yay/nay on whether I’d wear something similar. The Kleinfeld episodes where the women have unlimited budgets and pick $25k dresses are NUTS!
And also, my bf will watch Say Yes as well as most HGTV programs with me. We have some entertaining convos during those shows!
When I was laid up for a month with my back I watched a lot of Say Yes To the Dress and imagined if I had that kind of money to spend I’d spend it on better things. I’m thinking of saying $1000 of less just to see what I get. And then possibly getting a version of whatever I find made somewhere cheaper or used online.
That’s so exciting Hizzy!!

I love Say Yes to the Dress! Some of those brides are insane. I usually cry because I’m a softie.
For anyone interested in donating a loved or even buying a previously-loved dress, this non-profit in my college town is pretty cool: http://www.thebridesproject.org/ You don’t need to spend a ton of money to find a dress you love, that’s your style, and that looks great on you! 🙂
@hfantods Do you think you’re being ghosted?
Oh, and yeah, and I *have* wondered like the commenters in that Reddit thread are debating whether C.T. was the “hit it and quit it” type or if he thought it was THAT bad. At this point it doesn’t matter.
I used to watch Say Yes to the Dress. It’s fun but OMG those people spending tens of thousands on a dress are crazy.
Can I let you guys in on a little secret? (promise you won’t judge me!) I already bought a wedding dress lol. I got it last month… I saw it, fell in love with it, and it was only $60. Yes, 6-0. $60.
I was a little scared that I might be jinxing myself. But I figured hey, it’s a beautiful dress, I have way more expensive shit in my closet that I never wear, I’m not out much if it never gets used.
@MissDre No judgement from me! I know exactly what dress I will want to buy whenever the day is that an unwitting man puts the rose gold opal ring from Etsy I want on my finger and I’m single as the day is long. Lol.
You guys, I performed in my first ever comedy showcase tonight and it went AMAZINGLY WELL!!!! I am so happy and actually really proud of myself. Also, my best friend and several people from my company, including my FORMER CTO (what?!) came out to support me, which felt so great. I’m so hyped up I know I need to go to sleep for work tomorrow but I can’t. I’m so happy to have started doing this and I am really good at it! It’s making me super excited for the new year! 😀
I have a picture of me onstage but can’t figure out how to show you, as my Instagram is private. Argh.
