Say Yes To The Dress LDR couple

[blankita719]

I was watching a few episodes of Say Yes to the Dress yesterday when I saw one of the women picking out her wedding gown to marry her LD fiancee. She was in Florida and I think he was in Wisconsin? They met online, fell in love and agreed to get married without ever having met in person. In fact, they decided not to meet face to face until their wedding day.

This might be one of the craziest things I have ever heard. I know it's possible to meet some one online, develop feelings and have a relationship, but I can't understand marrying a man that you're only meeting for the first time when you are getting married to him.

I met my SO on vacation so maybe my perspective is off - but what about the rest of you who maybe met online? Would you marry your SO's never having met them in real life?

That's crazy!!!

I would never marry someone without having lived with them first, so without meeting is out of the question. I know everyone's relationship is different.. but damn. That's ballsy!

I SAW THIS EPISODE TOO! It was definitely a gutsy move, and something I would never in a million years do.

[Courtney:)]

Definitely not. My boyfriend and I met through a mutual friend and have yet to meet in person;I would never be able to marry someone without at least meeting face to face. But you could say every relationship is different.

Agree with lucybelle. I wouldn't even marry my partner without having lived with him, which is why we've arranged it through a working holiday.

That's insane, I mean 99% of us on this forum were lucky enough to have chemistry with our SO's but c'mon he could be a raging lunatic in real life and she's going to marry him without even finding that out? I feel like someone in her family should have talked her out of at least marrying someone she's never met, that's not only ballsy but dangerous.

Absolutely not! I think you can fall head over heels in love without meeting in person but things are still different when you meet! I may not get the chance to actually live with my SO before we get married because of the whole immigration thing but I'd at least want to try and visit a hell of a lot first...long visits if we can. Things might end up happening differently, but you know. That woman is certainly ballsy, as lucybelle said! I want to see that episode now, haha!

What episode was that?! I'm obsessed with that show but I haven't seen that one! Then again Netflix only has up to season 5.

[CanadianGirl]

Man, that is something between courageous and naive..

[notyourexgirlfriend]

That takes a lot of guts or crazy.. not sure which. Not something I'd ever contemplate doing. Though, think of all those arranged marriages where the bride/groom don't meet until their wedding days. Not so unusual but still crazy IMHO.

[ChibiFelicia]

I saw that episode and i agree, totally crazy! I wouldnt be able to do it.

In regards to arranged marriages, dont the parents generally know their family pretty well etc? Obviously it isnt that different but at least theres some kind of screening i guess. My brother had an arranged kinda marriage they met once and got married. Odd, not my cup of tea thanks.

[Zephii]

Uh, yeah, no. No way in hell. I'm sure this is very romantic and all but... no. I'm sorry, just, no.

[Romeo s Juliet]

never! that sooo crazyyy O.o

[Xanahtas]

Wow, i couldnt ever do that, ever, and i dont know many people who could!

[lademoiselle]

You'd never catch me making a move like this!
