NO BOYS ALLOWED! Lol, I will not allow my SO to be there when I pick it out. I am slightly superstitious, but I really just want it to be a surprise for him. I want to see the look on his face when he sees me walking down the aisle. I think I will only be going with my mom, maybe my stepmom and maybe my SO's mom.

I am in the middle of wedding dress shopping. He came with me to the first place but only because we live far away from friends and family right now. I went with my mom and sister when I found the one I really want to buy. He is dying to see it but I am gonna try to keep it a surprise for the big day.

Only my mom and maid of honor went with me when I tried on wedding dresses. My fiance was all for going with me, but I told him he couldn't. I want it to be a surprise! I was so excited about my dress, though, that I showed him a picture of it from the website. Whenever I bring it up though, he always says that he's forgotten what it look like which is a good thing to me."I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms again."

We were actually originally planning a casual, courthouse wedding with jeans and t-shirts, but my sister found an awesome, Renaissance-style dress in this kind of hippie shop in our local mall and thought it looked like it would fit me and make a nice dress. She and I were hanging out and she suggested we go to the mall, and we went into that little shop, and she showed me the dress. Well, I wasn't actually planning to wear a dress at all, but I tried it on and it fit like a glove so I decided I wanted it. As a gift, my sister bought it for me. It was 40 bucks, but it's really pretty and nice. It's also purple, my favorite color. My husband is really into both Medieval and Renaissance stuff, so I modeled it for him on cam since he was still in Russia at the time. He really loved it so we decided to have a more dressy wedding. My parents ended up paying for us to get married in a little chapel, which also turned out really awesome. We still had our simple wedding, but in a really pretty venue. It was a surprise and spontaneous thing, so of course my husband didn't come with me dress shopping. But if I had been dress shopping prior, I'd probably have gone with my sister, mom, or girlfriends.

I wanted him to come with me, but he told me he would just be lost. Then I told him i wanted to pick a dress that i look pretty is so that's why he should come with me, and he said I will look beautiful in any dress (total awwww moment.) SO i decided that when I go I will either go with my girlfriends or by myself.

Ours will be a courthouse wedding, so after finding a dress online, for a few days I did wonder whether I was supposed to show it to my SO or not. Ultimately I did decide to, because it's a vintage dress I really thought he'd dig - plus we haven't told anyone else what we're doing, so I couldn't keep that secret to myself. He really wanted to see it, so I'm glad I did show him - and his response was simply, "That's the dress I want to marry you in". He kept insisting on paying for it, so after I bought it he gave me the money. It wasn't expensive or anything, but it does feel weird that he's paid for the dress I'm going to get married in.
Anyway, I'm planning on having the neckline altered and some other bits modified before the plunge has been taken, so hopefully when he sees me in it, it'll be a teensy bit of a surprise.
On the flip side - is anyone seeing their other half's suit before the big day? I'm most certainly going suit shopping with my SO, as any self-respecting control freak would I imagine. He appreciates my input, hates shopping alone, and I want him to look damn sexy on our wedding day.
