Do I try on my wedding dress?

[fern 195]

I don't know what to do.......

You see, I've had my wedding dress for 6 years even tho I'm not married yet. My fiancé and I have been engaged for 7 years. Our wedding was all planned ( we were having a destination wedding in Hawaii) and ready to go, when my sonn-to-be mom in law got very sick and landed in hospital. We postponed the wedding. Then she passed away. Then I got pregnant and life went on. Fast forward 3 years. We started talking again about a wedding. Little did I know I was pregnant again!! Then my soon to be father in law is diagnosed with cancer and passes away less than 6 monthes later. Size wise, I can get into a 16 ( barely) and would love to see if my dress fits ( tho I know when the wedding comes I may not be able to have I tailored to fit a smaller me)

the wedding has now been rescheduled for next year with my daughter, who's now almost 5, as flower girl and my son , almost 3 as ring bearer. In Hawaii again as planned before. I can't wait!!!!!

So ladies and gentleman....... Should I? Or should I wait as to make SURE it'll fit me. I can't wait to see the look on my daughters face when she sees my absolutely gorgous dress ; )

I'm sorry for all that has happened. But, at least things are rolling again!

I say TRY IT ON! What can it hurt? It'll be fun. And, you may be surprised.

Try it on! I'm sure it's going to look amazing!

I'd try it on anyway... Just to see how it looks! And, if you want, you can share a picture with us...

I personally would try it on every 10 pounds I drop, just to see the difference, eheh...

If you don't like it anymore you still have time to sell it and get a new one...

I'd say try it on, who knows how long it'll fit you for, a quick twirl with your daughter and maybe a keepsake photo will do no harm, and then when you are too thin for it, and end up in another dress you'll be able to really see the difference.

My aim for WLS at my first consultation was to get back to my wedding day weight (I'm 3lb off that now, and of course want to lose almost 40lb more to get to a much more appropriate weight now I realise how low I was aiming with that goal), however instead of an easter egg this year, when I hit my easter goal (and I WILL come hell or high water!), I am going to Celebrate by sitting around the house in my wedding dress, which has not even nearly fit me for the last 8 years (since my wedding day funnily enough).

My 7 year old daughter will think I have lost the plot, but I really don't care. I will dress up and play princess, just because I can! :whoo:

Seize the day!

You guys are right! I'll give it a try when someone can help me get into it. My hope is to get it taken in when I finally walk down the aisle, but I guess it'll depend on how much I lose by then..... Thanks everyone : )

and yes I will take and post a pic as my "progress" ( once it fits that is ; )
