My wedding dress experience was..interesting 1) Purchased a dress from BHLDN before my now-husband proposed 2) Ended up not loving the original dress and returned it 3) Ordered a new dress on Etsy 4) Seller was a nightmare and the dress arrived ON my wedding day 5) Purchased my actual wedding dress 3 days before my wedding on Facebook Marketplace and the first time I tried my gown on was the day of my wedding Honestly, I always thought my wedding dress would be a huge moment for my wedding, but at the end of the day -- I just wanted to be clothed 😂

[@sabiaottley5318]

Wedding confession: I never had a “dream wedding” in mind only a dream honeymoon and a dream marriage.

[@ladyrayylin3268]

Same

[@bethgramkow5225]

The best kind

[@leenaravenwood]

I had the crying "this is THE dress" moment. My maids of honor and my officiant knew the second I came out in the dress...my confession is my mother tried to convince me not to buy it because she felt like she could find a much cheaper one or hire someone in asia to make it for dirt cheap (btw my fiancé and I are paying for the whole wedding ourselves). Not only that, the first bridal salon I went to, my mother made many comments about me being too fat, too ugly for the dress, etc. Word of advice to brides: pick a ride or die bridal party that has your back and knows YOU. Some mothers or family members can be damn nuts. Also quick shoutout to the 2 bridal consultants who helped me try on dresses because they saw me cry and made me remember it's my special day and NO BRIDE deserves to be put down. Every bride deserves to feel special and beautiful

[@colterbrown3821]

Webb's 🤵🏻‍♂️💍👰🏼

[@TEWMUCH]

Sick. Sorry your mother is that way..I hope u felt beautiful in it. Some moms are just the worst .

[@mariahclaw8458]

My dress story is pretty wild. I went dress shopping with my partner and best friend. We had a great time running through the boutique pulling dresses. While I had no intentions to purchase a dress that day, my plan was to figure out what I liked and get an idea of sizing because I wanted to buy something secondhand. I fell in love with the last dress I tried on and ended up finding it on StillWhite for less than $700. It is brand new and fits me like a glove! ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!! After our wedding I’ll be donating it to a local boutique that supports survivors of sexual violence ✨

[@amandaplank3992]

I have a funny wedding dress story. I’m getting married May of 2022. I bought a dress without even getting to try it on! I went to the shop with low expectations since it was my first time. I had no idea what I wanted, I only knew what I didn’t like. My mom and sister came with me. One dress stood out to us, but they didn’t have it in my size to try on. It had lace and buttons down the back and it was tea-length which I actually loved. I tried on several others, all of which looked terrible. We kept talking about that other dress, but the consultant wanted to find me something else. Finally, my mom asked if she could just try it on. So, my mom tried it on for me to visualize it. I bought it on the spot. It has now come in in my size and I absolutely love it. I got a long veil to go with so I will have a train for the ceremony. But people can’t believe I bought a dress that my mom tried on. Lol.

[@TEWMUCH]

Lol 😂 this is an awesome story. Mommy was your body double! So cute! ❤

[@clairemichellecece]

Can we get the full Story Time of your proposal?? I was loving hearing about the rage folding laundry because that is so me

[@jessicaturecek9446]

Was at a wedding where the mother of the bride said to the groom in at the end of her speech, "well, she's your problem now". Our entire table put our glasses down in protest instead of cheersing. SO AWKWARD.

[@123Orangea]

Ooff... 😶

[@PhantomAngel147]

This sounds like something my family would do. That’s just our humor though so to each their own 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mariahgeiger-williams9230]

Honestly, these are my favorite for wedding planning when I’m stressed. It feels almost like the confessions are the only thing that is completely honest in this Instagram-perfect world.

[@kristinenielsen9362]

My husband's parents made comments about how "inconvenient" the location of my wedding venue was for them and showed up at the church in everyday clothes because they didn't have "time to change". It was about a two-hour drive for them and we had other guests arriving from much further away. It wasn't the fact that they didn't have nice clothes on in church that bothered me. To me, it showed a lack of respect. They also complained about other stuff throughout the day and I can still feel that I'm upset about it when I think about it months later.

[@citomarieloredo3161]

My in laws also showed up to our wedding in regular clothes. They didn’t even stay for dinner or for a dance. They took photos and left. I wasn’t upset personally but was mad and felt bad for my husband. I felt that was so shitty of them.

[@TEWMUCH]

So rude and hurtful! Sorry to you both. Parents can be such jerks. They coulda put clothes in the car and got dresses into something more appropriate in the bathroom if they are that busy, And just couldn't clear their schedule. This is actually making me mad just thinking about it. 😢

[@lib.derksen]

I didn't have the "this is the one" moment with my dress. It was my 8th dress appointment (I was trying really hard to stick to my $1000 budget) I passed by the dress on my initial look around the store but it kept catching my eye as I was trying on other dresses so I decided to try it on. It was very different than I what I thought I wanted but at the same time it really suits my personality. Everyone I was with cried and I loved the dress. I really liked the dress and knew if I didn't buy it, I would regret it. It was a $4500 dress at a consignment store for $1000!

[@raykory8499]

My wedding dress moment. Went shopping for an outfit for my mum at the very start of wedding planning. Haven't started wedding dress shopping yet. Saw this outfit. Tried it.fell in love with it. Knew it was the one but torn because I hadn't even tried any others yet. Got it. Knew it was the one. Never regretted my decision since.

[@jenmoelsky]

I’m so glad we pushed through and got married in June 2020, I couldn’t even imagine having postponed just to have to deal with the same shit a year later.

[@karengurske]

We did the same thing! June 2020 wedding with 10 people instead of 125 but in the end it was better than postponing for 1 or 2 years.

[@Sara-vn2kz]

My father-in-law stromg-armed my father into paying for half the wedding with the expectation that my father-in-law was paying the other half. Originally my husband and I were planning a smaller wedding with a smaller budget that we would cover ourselves. Since the dads were paying, the budget increased. Now the wedding is in 46 days. My dad has paid his half. My father-in-law has not and I'm trying not to get mad.

[@alurai]

Oh no! 😞

[@aadpiraat7126]

Hope it turned out ok

[@jessfleury3761]

I went to 3 bridal stores and tried on over 30 dresses, but did not have “the moment.” I was starting to believe the bridal moment did not actually exist and I would have to settle for a dress that I liked but did not love. But, it was actually my mom that did not let me settle and said we should go to the other bridal stores to look. In the 4th store I went to, I saw this dress hanging up immediately when I walked in. It had all the elements I wanted and as soon as I walked out and looked in the mirror I just knew. It was the first dress I said I loved. I even tried on a couple others to make sure it was not just a spur of the moment thing. I just wanted to put my dress back on. This is a message to everyone! Do not force it, you will know!

[@MorganHowell-Kastner]

I had been looking at my dress for YEARS, probably since my freshman year of highschool and then they discontinued Vera Wangs collection at David’s bridal and I was devastated but my mom found one in my size pop up on super discount on the website and ordered it with overnight shipping and it fit like a glove and it was everything I hoped it would be so this is a situation where a mom came in clutch for the dress 😂 the day prior to this we went wedding dress shopping and I was just not into any of them

[@citomarieloredo3161]

I found a $4,000 dollar dress at a discount bridal shop in the mall. The ticket said It was $300 but when I checked out they discounted it again and it ended up being $200 with the tax. I actually ended up buying a different dress on Facebook marketplace for $300 because the one I found in the mall could not be altered so I ended up taking the beading from it and adding it to the other and it turned out beautiful. I did not want to spend a ton of money on a dress for one day.

[@greeeneyes91]

my mom told me that back in her days, there were simply no bridal gown shops. she just got some fabric (she couldnt even choose it) and had to sew it herself. puts some perspective into this whole topic i believe

[@elizabethcarlile643]

I'm getting married in 43 days! My dress was the 5th or 6th dress I tried on. I didn't cry nor did my entourage (moms and grandmas), but we all seemed to have the same feeling about the dress and knew it was the one. While my fiancé and I had talked about marriage, I had no idea he bought a ring nor did I have any inclination that he'd propose when he did. It was a complete surprise!

[@Sara-vn2kz]

My wedding is in March too!

[@Missjdoestheatre]

I didn't have an aha moment for my dress either, I just really liked it. Every dress I tried on after the one I ended up picking I was just thinking "can I go put the other one back on now"

[@ladyrayylin3268]

Wedding dress Horror story: I had that perfect AHA moment when I got my dress. Went into David’s Bridal, (ALONE) first dress I put on was exactly, in every way, what I was looking for. I cried in excitement and relief because wow that was easy! Then, after purchasing this $1,500 dress, I proceeded to show it to my girls…. HUGE MISTAKE!!!! I was told I looked; Fat, pregnant, square, should stay away from any lines, saggy boobs, and sloppy. I fricken cried and cried. Didn’t eat for 3 days and then went back to David’s Bridal and got a different dress. The lady who helped me was a 10/10 b****!! Not only did she roll her eyes at my every critique, sigh when I asked to try something else, huff n puff at me wanting something a little more “me” and tell me she knew best for my body type, she also complained about my breast, wouldn’t listen to a word I said about not wanting a veil and then tried to sneakily rip off the clearance tag and charge me full price!!! It was horrible and I hate my dress. It’s pretty, but the experience makes me so angry that it’s hard to enjoy. I just wanted to get out of there so bad! Also, who takes a person with body issues and puts them in a COLUMN DRESS?!?!

[@widgerfarms4769]

Dress shopping: I brought my mom, future mother in law, and my sister/maid of honor. They all picked out great dresses to try on! I put the first dress on and broke down in tears because of the overwhelming experience. Suddenly it all fell on me that I was actually getting married and became really real. I found a dress that as soon as I put it on, I loved it. I cried some more and was able to bring it home that day!

[@tsyr88]

We just started wedding planning like a month or so ago, and I just started dress shopping last week. Didn't cry nor feel like "omg this is my dress" in any of the dresses tbh, but I did fall in love with like several dresses but they are all in different silhouette and styles. Another note, I never realize alterations and tax would cost almost double the price of the dress (which I feel like is what's holding me back and is definitely swaying my decision). So now I am panicking and feeling the pressure from family members (from both side) as they all have opinions on where and how much we should spend on our intimate wedding and my dress.

[@hailielowe5583]

Confession- invited my MIL most hated family members to see if her threat of "not attending if they come" would stick. Fun fact: They came in full force, MIL didn't keep her "promise" and she was miserable the whole time. I secretly enjoyed it the entire time. Full story on how you got engaged! Based off watching your personal channel I can only imagine how that all went.

[@shelbymiller893]

WOW I’m early. This is my chance to say thank you soo much for walking me though the wedding planning process. Also, I LOVE that you never mentioned “global condition that should not be named” love it

[@noelle7287]

I found 2 wedding dresses I liked from David's bridal. I actually ended up going with the more wild dress. I love it though. It really complement my curves and hides my tummy. Part of it has some volume and the other part is more traditional. It's strapless. After looking at the pictures to compare 2 dresses I saw how much better I looked in the second one. I tried it back on for a second time and knew it's the one. I felt like a princess and gorgeous.

[@AJoyce2011]

Omgoodness yessss on the decision making/opinion confession! My then fiancé had the habit of saying "I don't care" to all of the decision that I asked of him. I knew fully well that he did care, but it just didn't matter to him which option as long as I was happy with it. He knows I plan meticulously and any option would be fine, but I needed/wanted his opinion. I broke down one day and just had to lay it out to him that saying he "doesn't care" made me think he really didn't care to get married and I would cancel the wedding if he said it anymore. He never said it again, nor does he say it to this day. For the dress: I loved my dress! There was no crying for me, I didn't even cry at my wedding, or for the group I had with me. I just felt like I never wanted to take it off. It had pockets!!

[@soapiesoap5649]

I knew he bought the ring but had no idea when he was going to propose he woke me up from a nap with a ring in my face 😂

[@kristingerhardt9828]

Same, I knew he bought the ring too and then one day he went to get us coffee and came back with a heart shaped donut while I was doing my makeup and proposed with the ring in it... while I had only one eye done with mascara 😭😂 I said "that's true love" 😂

[@soapiesoap5649]

@@kristingerhardt9828 hahahaha I was so confused like what why is there a ring in my face 😂

[@emynemy5821]

Wow I can relate to some of these!!! Wedding is 8 months away and I'm already thinking "why didn't we elope." Then again we've been engaged since Jan 2020... This was so entertaining I'll have to check out that podcast!

[@nicolepatrick4743]

One of my bridesmaids decided to die her very long black hair HOT PINK one month before my wedding. Yeah she was wearing sage green too. So my wedding photos are more colorful than I anticipated. I also had a friend tell me he was “disappointed” in us for not giving him a plus one to his girlfriend of a year that we didn’t know he had. See we hadn’t seen him because of the pandemic and he never thought to tell us he was dating someone. So we were just suppose to accommodate him 3 weeks before the wedding (rsvp were due weeks before this conversation).

[@picklepirate]

I think until your brother decides to get married, I hope he regrets that, understanding every 1 rsvp is an extra +$50 for the wedding.

[@caitlinclaflinmongillo6021]

Re. dress shopping: I got a little misty when I first tried it on, but there were things I wanted to tweak and my mom didn’t love it. She convinced me to go to the next appointment we had scheduled before making a decision. This lead to another month of dress shopping, including trying that same dress on two more times, before I finally went back and bought it. So I guess I fall somewhere in between having a Moment and just picking a dress I liked. Re. the proposal: I knew it was coming but there were so many times I thought it was going to happen and it didn’t that by the time he actually proposed I was completely surprised. And the wait was worth it, even though I got so annoyed with him when it kept not happening 😅

[@jllbruce11]

I love the way you respond to these tragic and terrible moments in people's lives.... Seriously I was laughing so hard along with you. I appreciate that you have my humor.

[@krystalselena8563]

I got my wedding dresses on December 23rd at David's Bridal. My mom, grandma, and 3 of my sisters were there with my FMIL on FaceTime. I tried on my first black sparkly dress and was in tears when I tried it on. I cried a lot that day, I mostly cried because I had been trying in traditional white wedding dresses and didn't feel confident or sexy at all. Then my stylist said that she had a dress she wanted me to try on and I felt like I looked so good in it. I originally didn't want to wear a black dress because I wanted to wear white out of respect of both my family and my FH's family as well. But my mom and sisters said that that's who I am and that the dress made me the beautiful rocker girl that they've known me to be and that I shouldn't care what others say. Went on to try another dress because the 1st one I felt was more party styled and not elegant enough for the ceremony. My second wedding dress had everyone in tears. My grandmother was crying when she saw me in the 2nd dress and said that she loved it even though she would have loved to see me wearing white. My dress shopping experience was so amazing, I'm so thankful and happy that I had decided to do that. Originally, I didn't want to do the whole wedding show (dress shopping, Bachelorette Party) but I'm glad I did!

[@tiarichardson607]

I fell in love with a dress three times my budget so I got a very similar one within my budget. They were both a sheath, lace gown with a very low back.

[@itssteph263]

This is honestly my plan when I start wedding dress shopping

[@Nishbyu]

I just got engaged in October 2021 and we are getting married in June 2022 And because of your channel I was able to plan and secure vendors.. Im about 80% done 🙏🙏🙏❤❤ I literally medidate on you channel

[@danielleferguson2332]

I knew about my proposal! I always said "not in public" but then my family was planning a trip to Disney World, and it was my first trip ever to Disney, and he knew that it would be magical to propose there, but wanted to make sure I was ok with it being in public there. I didn't know any other details though. Ring, location, and time was a surprise. :)

[@jessicasmith1102]

After trying on a tons of dresses with no emotion besides “oh that’s nice.” I cried within two seconds of seeing myself in the dress

[@corinnachaves-demello4324]

In June it'll be 2 years been engaged. Because of what has been happening in this world, we waited til this year to get married. I made sure to plan everything MAJOR ahead of time. No joke 2 years out. Everyone told me to slow down and I have time. I didn't listen and went with my gut and I'm glad because if i hsd waited til more recent everything we have had booked wouldn't have been available to us. Going into planning with the mind set that alll if not majority of the weddings that had to be moved due to the pandemic it may havw been hard to book for 2022. Booked the venue, caterer, photographer, florist and almost a videographer (they ended up being too expensive for us) months after getting engaged. No regrets. I even got my dress which I fell in love with when it was in thr bag, I tried it on and boom. I was the ONLY one that cried when I had THE dress on. In the moment I was mad because I expected and thought atleast my mom would cry (tho we have very different tastes so that's probably why lol). Getting my dress as early as i did (fit and flare style) its kept me in check physically. But I have no regrets and the same amount of excitement being my wedding is around thr corner. We are now focusing on my fiance, our kids, our parents and sibling getting dressed for our day and all the small details are coming together. I absolutely love Jamie's personality and vibe and I have taken alot of her advice going into my wedding planning

[@sweetpea1989]

I bought my dress by myself because I worked in a bridal salon. I saw it, I fell in love, and I was paying for it. I also picked out my girls dresses as I had size 0 to size 26 bridesmaids and knew I needed a dress that worked for all those sizes. My mother was around but not really involved (mental issues she refused to take care of), my biological father refused to have my adopted father walk me down the aisle (so told him he was not longer invited if he was so shallow as to not have the man who actually raised me there). Thankfully I had the best wedding ever with friends and family (over 300 guests) ever and it still gets talked about today (we were married in 1989!) I don't recall feeling overwhelmed as I planned everything and had things completed well in advance. The only thing that went wrong on that day (well, two things) are my veil and bouquet was left in the BM's car and I refused to walk into the reception w/o it (he arrived 15 minutes late) and, now I can laugh about this one, I wore a tiny thong thing for the first time, with a pad. Yep, pad fell out walking down the aisle. My mother caught sight of it and kicked it under a pew. Pretty sure no one but the two us us knew it happened. There is even a picture of us in the receiving line talking about her quick move! Oh, and we had a 2 year engagement so he could finish college. Celebrating 34 years of honeymoons on a cruise next month!

[@MK-leaves]

Totally understand decision fatigue!! I turned to our wedding planner and asked her opinion and went with that! (Knew her style and loved it! Not claiming this works for everyone)

[@rosec8101]

My engagement was 4 months. I loved it. I spent 5500 dollars. Made all the cake, food, and flowers with help from sister. Bridal party helped ice cakes day before wedding. They were center pieces. Let me tell you highly recommend.

[@courtneycamera1]

I love your channel!! There’s a ton of helpful info for wedding planning even though I’m not engaged yet! Lol! It’s actually a really nice break to watch your channel in between working on my masters degree.

[@jean6061]

I loved, LOVED my wedding dress. It was made by Jessica McClintock -" Wedding Elegance Wedding Weeds" circa 1978. A bridal boutique in Birmingham, MI was having a huge sale - wedding dresses sold for $49.00. Really! I didn't feel like me wearing a white dress, but this was a lovely off-white gown with long, lace sleeves and a high lace collar. I felt beautiful in it. My hat and slip were more costly than my dress. I think it originally retailed for about $300.

[@maddinick1746]

initially didn’t fall in love with the dress (dress was the least important part to me…), but i went back and found out they’d give it to me for $300 and that was the big decision maker for me! ended up being the most beautiful thing i’ve ever worn!

[@stephaniecremins6626]

I never expected to have "the moment" when I was dress shopping but I did! I saw myself in the mirror and immediately cried because I had never felt so beautiful in my life. Still love it after the wedding too!

[@saranusbaum2472]

Getting married in end of March… I’m definitely hitting the ‘wish we eloped’ point. I’ve cried and stressed way too much. Everyone just keeps saying it will all work out but even to things like original quotes being a lot more when it comes time for invoice. Luckily your channel has helped me through the whole thing!! went dress shopping with my future mother in law. THE dress was the first one I tried on. We tried on a few other but ended up coming back to that one each time! Got some butterfly’s and couldn’t stop looking at the pictures of it for a few months after

[@felicityjohnson8095]

wow this was fun hahaha. Love this type of thing Jamie!!

[@ninaanddakotafox5840]

This video was great and I definitely wanted more tea to be spilled. I had no idea when my proposal was coming, and I love that he got to completely surprise me with that! I had the worst wedding shopping experience where my sister tried to convince me I wanted to buy a dress I didn't love, even though I was planning to make my own. I am not happily about to cut the expensive fabric, and looking back at that day, I am really glad I didn't let my sis talk me into that dress. "I am so over my future MOL" made me lol because I have definitely said that, but it is for reasons that have to do with him and I joining things and getting off her plans. He is an only child, so I think she is just trying to take care of him.

[@CorinnaS91]

My dress shopping experience was very different but I enjoyed it a lot: I was prepared to spend up to 3000€ but also be open minded and check what's out there online. So I didn't shy back from trying on beautiful but even more expensive dresses just to see what would fit me best and then see if I found something similar on AliExpress. And I did!!! I was shocked to see that the expensive stores used the exact same pictures as on AliExpress and in the end I bought 2 dresses on Ali that were very close to ones I had tried and liked in the store and then decided once they had arrived. This literally saved me 2500€! And I'm very proud about my budgeting skills which makes me like my dress even more

[@m.x.b.9949]

Thanks so much for the fun video!!!

[@hanbabanaba]

I bought one dress, then went back and exchanged it for another. I never had a “perfect” moment, but I am much happier with the 2nd dress!

[@SuperGirlCK97]

I didn't really have a "the one" dress moment. I had a favorite dress from my first appointment, but I was not fully convinced . Then at my second appointment, I tried on other dresses, including the one that was my favorite from my first appointment, and it was still my favorite, so I got it!

[@carolgarringer4786]

My daughter just got married 2/2/22. Here is her dress story. When she was born, my husband's boss gave her a savings bond, which led me to start payroll deductions for savings bonds. Fast forward to her college years and we totally forgot we had them to use for her education, so I said they will be used for her wedding gown when God brings her together with her husband. She only had a MOH but preferred that only I come shopping with her. Her bridal consultant was spectacular and when she tried the sixth dress on, (the consultant's choice) she cried and I was literally jumping up and down. She was stunning. The exciting part was that the savings bonds amount was $50 over the dress price. We only paid for alterations. Her advice to brides would be to NOT bring a parade of people dress shopping. Just bring one or two people whose opinions really matter. Less drama, more happy memories.

[@AliciaGlove]

I loved my recent shopping experience. The first time I went with family, found a dress but didn't really love it. but family did. So I returned the 1st one. After visiting my 5th bridal shop I picked the dress on my own. So glad I did. I avoided all the opinions. The other customers that were at the shop were so kind and it was like they were rooting for me as if I knew them. I loved my experience.

[@mylifeaskathy2796]

My wedding confession…I hated my first wedding. HATED it. I still listen to some of the music and want to cry. That was 11 years ago. I could go on and on about how much I hated it. I looked beautiful though! And I loved my dress and cake topper.

[@hellya2666]

Dress shopping I had something in head, didn't find it in the shop I was. My mom litterally gave me no comments... "it's your dress, I don't want to influence you" ... But you're here to help me!!! Finally, I bought my dress online after seeing it again and again pop in my feed. I don't regret it at all! It's everything I wanted, and more. Didn't cry but VERY happy. I'm currently personnalizing it and making the alterations needed. Yep, I'm not a seamstress but I'm pretty alright .

[@mysocalledjourneywithdanie5813]

WEDDING DRESS MOMENT- (a true skeptic turns neurotic. LOL🤣) Being plus sized, I "just knew" I was gonna struggle to find something I loved. I DID NOT WANT a hip hugging trumpet/mermaid/sheath dress. Absolutely DO NOT want to show my tummy, I'd like sleeves because of my flabby arms. I also HATE LACE on me. It ages me like raw fish in the Texas sun! I searched online to find multiple dresses at different stores in order to find a store that would have enough of a selection for me to try on. I had a soul crushing experience at a David's bridal that left me broken. I no longer wanted to try on dresses or do the whole bridal moment thing. While walking the aisles of a store to pull dresses I saw a glimpse of an applique on one dress and asked to try it on. It was 3sizes too small, couldnt fit over my hips and certainly could not be closed. There was something in my mind that said- I need to try this on in my size. I called 10 different dress shops: there were none in the state of Arizona. I proceeded to called 31 additional stores in CA, NV, NM, NY, NJ, FL, & CT. I became OBSESSED w/ finding this dress and I had no clue what it looked like on me. FINALLY FOUND IT! a Shop in Ca shipped it to their sister store here in AZ. Fast forward- As I pulled one of the sleeves on I got chills. I legitimately started to shake. The associate was fastening the buttons, "This dress was made for your hips and butt. They look SO GOOD!" 🤣 The moment I stepped out my friends burst into tears, and I don't think I looked at myself for 1 whole second. But I already knew.... THIS WAS IT! It was everything I SWORE I DID NOT WANT: It was form fitting (EVERYWHERE), showed off my hips, had a DEEEEEP plunging back, and lace-like appliques. BUT!!!!! THIS WAS IT. I didn't care how much, take my card, ring it up, this Bissssh iz miiiine!!!! I have NEVER felt as beautiful as I did in that dress. (I have pics if you'd like to see.)

My dress was a rollercoaster, lol. I chose one model that I wanted to have made, but then during a period of PMS I decided I hated it, but since I don't trust my feelings during that period, I waited until it passed to see if I would have the same opinion. I did, so I decided to look for a different model. I found one that was absolutely perfect, so I took that to the seamstress for her to make something similar. After that first conversation I thought everything was perfect, until I had the first fitting and found out that she had used the wrong fabric for the sleeves, the one I had SPECIFICALLY asked her NOT to use, and had only very loosely based the dress she was making on the model I'd given her, had put these hideous lace flowers on the straps of the dress, and it didn't even FIT me, despite her having gotten my measurements! So after a lot of tears, a lot of prayer, and a couple of months, she calls me again for the second fitting. I was nervous as heck that it would be terrible, but when I saw that she took all of my concerns to heart, and made a stunning dress with so much love and care, I cried again - but this time, tears of joy! And everyone who saw it said it was totally me, with the medieval style sleeves and cape instead of a veil. My now husband was totally in love with it, too! A happy ending after all! =)

My mother overnighted my Wedding dress after altering for a rushed courthouse wedding. 2-3 days before the wedding date. It arrived the day after we got married. I wore a red velvet gown from a holiday party instead. The postal service had no idea where the package was in the warehouse. Then she told them it was my wedding dress. She said she heard gasps and could see looks of horror from all of the staff that day. I think I felt worse for them thinking the day was ruined. I was newly postpartum so I figured I would wind up in the backup due to my ever changing body.

[@ArtyRhiXx]

I have loved every moment of my long engagement 💍 (2 years and 10 months) I have been able to take my time planning and looking around buying decorations well in advance which has helped spread the cost and has enabled us to book our perfect venue xx

[@7ScarletRoses]

I have a wedding day nap planned 😂. My moh knows me too well and told me I'll probably need one because I'm very introverted and get tired/overwhelmed easily. Now I just have to figure out how not to ruin my hair 😅

[@southernhippie9058]

I lived in New York City and was getting married in North Carolina so my mother was the point person in NC. (This was before the days of the internet) She decided what I wanted was not wedding enough and proceeded to go to all the vendors and change my colorful decor to an all white traditional southern wedding because she thought people would talk if we went with what I wanted. Now mind you I had paid for my own wedding. Come the day of the wedding and things started arriving I noticed that things were definitely not what I had ordered and had some very interesting phone calls with vendors and an even more interesting conversation with my mother. In the end I just let it go and got married and left to go back to NY in two days. Let's just say there were some icy relationships for a long time.

[@CourtneyHanaway]

I made a whole video about my wedding dress shopping experience! I said yes to the dress and changed my mind... yikes! Luckily, I hadn't paid for it yet so it wasn't too bad. The pressure can be real when your whole group loves the dress and you like it enough.

[@EmilyCheetham]

If it had been my maid of honour who complained about not getting enough attention I’d say to her “So it’s your special day? NO. If you keep moaning I’ll just replace you. Be grateful you were chosen.”

[@CassidyParkerKnight]

Your proposal story made me laugh so much, that is so cute 😂

[@vaike2292]

I was a Bridesmaid at my Friend's Wedding and during the planning process, the MIL had to uninvited to the wedding because she called her son after he had proposed and went off on him about how he's "Marrying below him and would have been better off with his Ex" (very unhealthy relationship) Wedding day came and she did not show up, as the Bride feared, but His brother decided to try and steal a bottle of Whiskey from the bar to give to MIL afterwards... Many years later and the situation has only gotten worse with a Grandchild.

[@tigernikki89]

I liked my dress when I bought it, no aha moment... now when it came in and I put it on, it was perfect and I cried so hard!

[@annejia5382]

good morning guys! a blessed wednesay to everyone 💙

[@Ariellesings]

I’m still waiting for my dress to come in, but I think I had a mixture of feelings. I low key just wanted to be done with the shopping process, but I also thought it was really beautiful. Hopefully when it comes in, I feel the same!

[@leannesebastian4450]

My dress actually came from my mother in-law who bought it second hand before my husband and I even met each other, it fit perfectly. I like the dress, but love the story. ♥️

[@brandisrodawa8484]

I definitely say to myself constantly "I'm over this wedding planning". I just don't even care about the details anymore. I often think to myself "We should have just went to the court house" lol In regards to Wedding Dress, I absolutely love my wedding dress. I wouldn't say I had a clouds parting and sun shining through moment when I knew it was the one I wanted, but I definitely fell in love with it. Every time I look at it, I fall in love all over again. It was exactly what I was looking for and it was always within the ideal budget that I had set for it as well.

[@toomuchmom]

I love your channel! You need to do an episode about the change in bridal etiquette concerning traditions that no longer apply. Back in the day …the bride’s parents paid for the wedding…..and sent the invitations which often began with the names of the parents…etc. The couple involved the parents from the beginning of the engagement and enjoyed the wedding planning process together. Today’s couples want to be more independent of the constraints and demands of family involvement…but they still expect the family to foot the bill. I see an awful lot of entitlement as far as the finances…but those same couples enjoy their ‘boundaries’ from the people they expect to pay the bill. It’s hilarious. It’s also a very strange dynamic.

[@t.marieking3239]

Well my parents are still paying. There needs to be an updated video for today’s couple but parents still pay.

[@toomuchmom]

@@o.j.2947 I completely agree!!

[@calkinsfamily2436]

We took a nap in between the ceremony and reception. The ceremony and pictures went a lot quicker than we thought.

[@Katie80-501]

I did feel a little pressured to get my dress only because it was a sample at an expo. It is so beautiful and i am happy i have it but i am going to try on dresses at salons this weekend just to make sure it is the right one.

[@katherinemarvel7920]

We got engaged in September 2020. I'm definitely feeling the long engagement woes. I'm so done. We put it off in the hopes the pandemic would be over and here we still are. Just feels like we waited extra long for nothing.

[@rowenaramsaran4256]

Ur intro is gold, Jamie😇♥️😁

[@Shadow-yu7vl]

RE Dress shopping: I decided to go dress shopping by myself mainly because I didnt want my mothers opinion I wanted to decide on a dress on my own .... and then my bestfriend pulled a sicky and drove to a different city to be with me and my boss loves dress shopping so she did the same hah. I had a dress I had seen that I loved and I decided I didn't want to try it on first so I got the girls to find dresses for me to try and I chose a few as well .. I'm just gonna say it ... I didn't have a "Bridal moment" ... I didn't get emotional or have the "say yes to the dress dramatic crying" thing going on ... I found my dress and I loved it and afterwards I felt like "omg is there something wrong with me I didn't get all emotional?!" and yaknow what .. nope its perfectly normal not to have "that" moment .. you don't need a bridal moment to find your dress .. Hollywood is Hollywood for a reason ladies!

[@Lacoux]

Lol your story is the exact same as mine when it came to discovering my engagement. My then-boyfriend asked me to go into his back to grab a phone cord and inside of the backpack where the phone cord was, was the ring box. I'm guessing he forgot he put it in there and when he asked me to grab the cord didn't realize that I might see it.

[@kfb2819]

I also did not have a super emotional Aha! moment with my dress, it wasn’t even one that I was expecting to like before I tried it on. I knew it was the one when I didn’t really want to take it off. I could have walked out of the shop, and gone to the beach with it on for all I cared, (even though the sample dress didn’t do up in the back even) I just felt so pretty in it and wanted to show it off.

[@cristinagomes9147]

OMG! My proposal story is so similar! I also found my engangement ring by going to my fiancé's bag because he told me to go there... yeah, so I totally get you xD

[@corik1065]

For my wedding dress I didn’t have a moment. I just kept wanting to put it back on so I knew I loved it.

[@tukii1746]

My wedding is in a year, we got the venue and food figured out but each time we talk about the ceremony, the outfits or decors, my fiancee answer with weird/unrealistic/funny things, then he got pissed at me for making an inspiration board on my own (after I changed the theme 3 times to make our taste match). Since it's in a year, I feel like he can't grab the urgency yet but we still have so much things to get done T-T On the other hand my mom and grandma are bickering over the after-wedding brunch and ask me to take side, and i'm like .. that's not my priority yet ??? Also my futur MIL want me to get baptised so we can get married in church or else she won't aknowledge the wedding :') Anyway I'm so happy with the direction we went with and I hope I can maintain boundaries with everyone involve. Also my mantra as become "I"m marrying a man and not his family" x'D

[@fishnet_stockings8834]

Getting married this year and feel so overwhelmed by looking at wedding dresses, they either are so stunning I can’t decide between them and which one is “the one” or they horrify me.

[@promiseiromuanya1998]

First dress. It was gorgeous and I liked it but didn't love. It was cheap. Now I'm gonna use it as my reception dress. Second dress was suppose to be my reception dress for the first one. Now I turned it into a party dress. This dress is my perfect dream dress and it's gonna be what I wear for my ceremony.

[@jillmarieschierbaum6717]

I got my dress from Facebook marketplace! It was $1000 dollars new and she was selling it for 400 something. Yes!!

[@rachaelthomas6055]

My mom and sister started crying the very first wedding dress I tried on - just from the emotion of seeing me in a dress. Both the consultant and I cracked up laughing at them (good naturedly). Ended up having "the one" moment when I tried on the 6th dress - to the point where they set me up in their main space to show to my mom and sister - who then both cried again. Because we were on a tight timeline, didn't' have time to have my grandmother, aunt and cousin come for the appointment, but they were able to facetime for it.

[@jaz9915]

I wasn't necessarily pressured into the dress I bought, but everyone made a big deal about how pretty it was that I just went along with it. But that night my mom saw that I was clearly regretting it and she took me back to exchange it for the one that I loved!

[@laurapickering2002]

I don’t regret buying my dress, I love my dress as it’s me but I didn’t get that omg moment with! I felt me and a bride which was what I wanted!

[@maripositaamor]

By the time of my wedding, I’ll have had a 2 year engagement. 12 months in, none of my bridesmaids bought their $119 (before 10% off coupon) dress and it sold out and was discontinued. I chose another dress that costs $160 and had to be ordered from out of the country… and sent out multiple reminders. At the 18 month mark, I had less than 3 months until the wedding and I finally just gave up and opened another credit card to pay for all of their dresses and told them all they can just pay me back. The flower girl’s dress too. And I’m not even going to bother asking them to pay for their garment bags or anything because I just fully accept that I’m the only person that’s invested and I’m just ready for this entire mess to be over. I should’ve just eloped! Long engagements seem like a great idea but no…

[@Rueru94]

Sis I’m soo sorry that you’re dealing with that. Honestly, you should make sure you get the money back for all of the dresses you paid for. Please don’t let people take advantage of your kindness or cause you to go into debt because of their lack of consideration. At the end of the day if they don’t want to meet your deadlines and timelines, they can excuse themselves from being a part of your big day. What’s important is you and your fiancé celebrating your love and building your lives together after this day. Don’t allow the stress to take over and dim the Joy that you should be experiencing in the processing! ❤️

[@alyssacowan5050]

5:29 I picked mine because I couldn't stop thinking about it 3 months later...

[@lilbuggy7]

Which confession to put here? There are so many. I didn’t completely understand that my husband was proposing right that moment (we were flying tandem hang gliding - which is normal for us, but he wasn’t on one knee or anything). He said a lovely little speech (wish I remembered it) about how much he loved me and then said “so read the grass” I was like, “what is he talking about?! Like tea leaves? Grass, as in weed?!” I was so confused. The landing zone said “Merry me, Alicia?” But I, of course didn’t have my glasses on and was confused so it took me a sec. He, mean while, is asking if that’s a yes and I squeak out “uhuh” and he to this day thinks I was just choked up. I’m gonna let him keep believing that. Sort of sad I didn’t get to emphatically say yes, but this is cute too. And it was quite the proposal. 💗

[@heathoxo]

Mine didn't hide the ring properly either!!! He hid it in a shared closet and not his own... This was over a year ago and he still doesn't know that I had found it

[@leafairfax9377]

I just had a generic idea of what I wanted in a dress, mostly wanted it to be sparkly (its not so I have to figure out how to sparkle it myself ! ) but I actually went twice, once with my fiance and I had the slight pressure that he liked a different dress than me so I took a picture of a couple - but I hated all of them so I went again by myself and took the time to ask more questions and really look and ask what can be added (also my budget was quite small and the dress is a color, not white) and I have ordered it but I am worried it is gonna be the wrong shade color 😬 and I didn't have the aha moment, just like ... I guess this is good, as long as I am pretty , look like a sparkly princess lmao

[@RaccoonTails1]

I'm not engaged yet but I'm already planning the wedding bcuz time limits stress me out, if I can figure out the big stuff out before hand I can take my time for the rest

[@karengurske]

I was CONVINCED my husband was going to propose on a tour of Europe we were going on because of all the romantic spots we were headed (Paris, Venice, Budapest etc.) but instead he did it a month earlier after we made it to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. I was hot, sweaty, tired, and there was no one to photograph it so I only have a shaky 10 second clip of him shoving the ring on my finger after I said yes and a photo afterwards using my phone leaning on a rock with the self-timer 😆

[@gallagherwitt]

More and more, I feel like I dodged a whole volley of bullets by wearing my mom's wedding dress. Was it the dress I would've picked had I had infinite options? No. But I liked it, and it meant spending $50 on alterations instead of the GDP of a small country on a dress, and there was 0 drama or stress about shopping/budgeting/choosing said dress.

[@brittanymcfarlane9605]
