I've finally started searcing for a wedding dress, though I'm not sure I want a wedding dress 
I have issues with spending so much money on a single dress that will only be worn once. I'd rather spend the money on the honeymoon or save it for a blingy wedding band.
I am open to used/cheaper dresses though I feel like I'd have to pull a miracle to find one that way since I have something very specific in mind (along the lines of Jim Hjelm's 8663).
I don't want to settle for a cheaper dress just because its what I want to spend if its not a style I love. I'd rather find a formal dress that I love and have the potential to wear again. While part of me thinks when am I ever gonna get to wear a wedding dress again, another part of me thinks if I get a wedding dress when am I ever gonna wear it again?
For those ladies that didn't wear a traditional wedding dress, what did you wear? Looking back, did you make the right decision? Did you disappoint people by wearing a different dress? I know its ultimately what I feel comfortable in and what I feel comfortable spending but I know that my mother and sister would love to see me in a wedding dress (finace things I should get whatever the heck I want and to heck with people's expectations).
Advice?
