Although I don't want to do one again myself, I did so enjoy the planning of it all. I’m so enjoying living vicariously through you planning your wedding.

If you really can't decide, my vote is for you to go with both. After all, if you're THAT torn between the two, it seems like the most logical decision. And, after all, you only get married how many times in your life?! Go for it, get both!! I almost did the exact same thing (the only reason why I didn't was because I'd had to have lugged it across the globe - to Italy - and back!). Do it! Do it! :D Take the undergarment situation into serious consideration, for sure.

Will you need your bridesmaids to be in the stall with you so you don't pee on your dress? Can you wriggle out of your control garments with relative ease? I ended up taking off my dress every time I had to go, which was actually faster and easier than it sounds. Also consider ease of use of the toilet.

I say go for the first dress.

The last time I was a bridesmaid the dresses were strapless and we tried the tape and everything, and I still was pulling the thing up all evening on the dance floor. I looked like I was constantly groping myself. I wouldn't buy it unless you're certain you can actually enjoy your reception in it :) Well, you certainly wouldn’t be alone if you ended up with both: http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070826/ART04/70825017

Derek, Hannah: after hearing of the horror story of a friend who spent the better part of a year looking for underwear to go under her chiffon dress, I'm definitely taking the underwear issue into consideration. knemesis: honestly? While I always envisioned looking at my wedding photos and seeing how stunning I was, my first thought on the pictures of the second dress was that it's got the potential to look a bit hoochie for the solemnity of the occasion. And I'd like to think I have ample opportunity to get pictures of my hot young bod for quite a few years to come. col: I wouldn't actually buy two dresses - it seems pretty insane. According to what I've seen on wedding boards though, it's not actually terribly uncommon.

Do you want to see something traditional, or do you want to see how freaking hot you were when you were young? These are photos of an event you will have with you for the rest of your life. Do you look at your parents' photos or your gradnparents' photos and think about how wonderful they look, or how dated? Also think about are you wanting to make everybody in the wedding (the priest, even? or whatever, you probably know what it's from) a woody? I know a lot of brides who simply don't think that something so revealing or sexy is what they want to say on their wedding day. So.. I guess I'm trying to say what do YOU want to say, and what do you want to see when you're old and feeble and remembering the day you married the man you spent the rest of your life with? ... *whisper*: buy them both.

If you're comfortable enough to dance in it for an evening, go for the second dress. If you're ready to scream and bite people's heads off, go for the first dress.

I have a whole folder of pictures of wedding dresses from both my wedding planning, and my old roommates wedding planning... granted, that was 8 and 10 years ago, but has it really changed that much? I say take the pictures, and if they tell you off for it, tell 'em to fuck off, it's your wedding and you'll photograph if you want to. :) Anyway. I have no other suggestions, but ... wanna buy my old dress? :) Weeeeird… I have a whole folder of pictures of wedding dresses from both my wedding planning, and my old roommates wedding planning… granted, that was 8 and 10 years ago, but has it really changed that much?
