  1. i wasnt ready to take this step for the longest time then i saw my wedding pictures last year and i was embarrased i hated them so im getting the surgery and my present from my in-laws is retaking the important pictures in my dress that i still have in my closet. but if your not ready then take your time deciding because this is a forever decision not something to be made on a whim
