Hi, all!
I need some feedback. Have any of you bought your wedding dress before the proposal?
Here''s my story. My FF and I went to a bridal show last weekend because he was a vendor. I had fun walking around while he was working and I tried on some dresses.
I found the dress of my dreams at an amazing price.
It is the "Grace" dress by Maggie Sottero and the total I would pay is $679, that includes tax and everything. I''ve seen this exact dress for more than $1000 other places. The dress is corsetted (spelling?) in the back and will adjust to weight gain/loss without needing any alterations, so buying it 2 yrs before the wedding really wouldn''t be an issue.
We are planning on getting married within the next two years, he just wasn''t planning on proposing until next June. He wanted to be dating at least 1.5 yrs before proposing, but he has made it clear that I am the woman he is going to marry. We plan on moving in together in 12 months. We have talked about every aspect of marriage and know that we are a really great match for each other. At this point the proposal is a very important formality.
I know a lot could happen in the next 9 months, but it is just such a good price for the exact dress I want. He has told me he thinks it''s a little premature to buy a dress, since he hasn''t proposed yet. He told me to wait until we go to the Seattle Wedding Expo this weekend and then make my decision after I''ve looked at some other gowns. I have until the end of September to make up my mind because the price goes up on Oct 1st.
Please tell me, am I crazy to buy a dress before the proposal?
If you''re curious, here''s the link to the dress
