Is it bad luck to wear a wedding dress for another wedding if said wedding never happened?

I don't believe in luck so I can't answer from that viewpoint. As for it being in poor taste, I suppose that would depend on how many people saw it when you bought it for the first wedding. If it was only family and very close friends, I say go for it! \n\nCongratulations!

If you want it to be really elaborate you could create a scenario where she thinks you are going to someone elses wedding (you could make it a long lost friend of yours, a colleague etc). This way she will be dressed in a way she will be proud of.\n\nThen when you both get there and she sees everyone you both know, she will be very confused. Then you turn to her and ask her if she would do you the honour of marrying you today.\n\nOf course it would be very wise to amke sure she wants to marry you or it would be very humiliating for both of you if she didn't.

Yes a few times. Last time was when my friend got married over the summer. A few nights before we all went out then at her wedding on the way to the church. Just like a big car and I get car sick in them if I'm not careful\n☺

Well I think any date you pick is going to be crowded you have plenty of time to plan if you start now so it shouldn't be a problem. I tried very hard to work around people/dates when I got married, You know birthdays anniversary's other weddings funerals etc... I found it is almost impossible especially if you have a big wedding in a good weather season. I would say try not to worry about it but do get started if you want the best!

Depends on your actions; As well as both of you're varying ages. I myself have never been married & am still looking for a bride. I will turn 36 in 5 days.\n\nIts WISE to a point to keep looking but never do anything that you will later regret having done. Such as causing a child to be born between the 2 of you. That is just 1 thing...\n\nYou are only unlucky if you SAY & KEEP THINKING YOU ARE such. If you keep telling yourself, be you male or female, you WILL find someone that will be perfect for you & later to marry if its God's Will...

I am getting married in three weeks, and I would not be offended. I think as long as you do not wear solid white you would be fine. And it's the lower half and would certainly not be that obvious. I would assume also, that the bride would have more going on that day, than to really notice what color your skirt is.

Rather than just coming out and saying "that's not going to happen," my opinion would be to try and try and try again.  What better gift can a future spouse receive than you on your wedding night - with a commitment that you have chosen to become pure - again - for this night only.  It is perfectly OK to start making that commitment now.  Buy yourself a purity/commitment ring and wear it on your ring finger and really try each day to live out that commitment.  Believe me, it will change your life =)  My opinion:  Wait until marriage!!!  Best wishes =)

First of all, keep in mind that this is YOUR wedding.  But also be able to compromise too.  Another thing on your wedding day don't stress out, enjoy yourself.  Someone told me while i was planning my own wedding that i shouldn't worry about something going wrong because in the end, not one person would notice except me, cause i planned the wedding.  And you know what i took her advice and my wedding day was perfect, except for a little rain. I enjoyed every minute of that day. So my advice is sure it only happens once in your life but don't make yourself miserable just to please everyone else. IT'S YOUR WEDDING, SO ENJOY IT. CONGRATS!!!!!

You can buy a refundable ticket.  It will cost significantly more than a non-refundable ticket, but if you are that worried that the wedding won't happen, then it would be wise to do so.

Noor, your assumption is just not always correct.  Now, there are some brides who just don't have good taste.  Becoming a bride-to-be does not automatically grant one any added taste that they did not previously possess!  Also possible is the fact that their bridesmaids' body types are so different that the bride is trying to find a dress for all sizes.  That is often difficult, if not impossible.\n\nFor my wedding in 1998, my bridesmaids' gowns were lovely understated, but elegant, lilac sleveless crepe straight gowns, with a satin bodice, and a shoulder wrap of matching satin-backed crepe.  Worn with opera length gloves, they were simple and elegant, and appropriate for all types of formal functions.  By shortening the length to knee-length, they would then have an exquisite cocktail dress to be worn without the gloves.  I was so happy with their gowns that I wish I had bought one for myself.  They, too, were extremely happy with the selection, and have told me so.  (If you look at my wedding photos at my 360 page, you'll be able to see for yourself.)\n\nMy gift to my attendants were their shimmering hosiery, their gloves, and handmade earrings and necklaces that I personally crafted for each one.  They were made of  clear yet opalescent pearl-sized beads, that were classic and can be worn for years.\n\nIf a bride is thoughtful, considerate, and plans well enough ahead of time, she'll be able to decide on bridesmaid attire that will make the majority happy.  You'll never relaly please everyone....unless you are as lucky as I was.

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

Depends on the formality of the wedding.Why not ask someone in the Bridal party.

You know, many of our wedding traditions come from strange things.  Originally weddings took place in June because that is when most people took their yearly bath and that made the wedding party more attractive by being less stinky (also easier to assemble a large group without folks fainting from stink).  The wedding bouquet also was related to our hygiene - the bride and brides maids would carry very aromatic flowers to camouflage any odor they would have due to infrequent baths.\n\nWhat I am trying to say is that many of the old customs don't really apply today, though they are still nice to observe.\n\nHaving said that, in all the weddings I have attended, I never heard that a veil indicated virginity - only the color of the wedding dress.  Pure white implies pure and virginal (which mean hymen membrane in tact - no intercourse i.e. penetration) Off white implies less than pure and darker than that implies previously married (my mother wore a light blue dress at her second wedding).\n\nSo where a veil if you want.  Where white if you want.  Your Virginity is your own private business.  Peace!

I went shopping with my bridesmaids and we all decided on a dress together so they were buying dresses that they knew they could use again. I chose the colour and they chose the design. Because it was an Aussie Summer Wedding they all chose a knee length summery dress. I bought them all earrings and necklaces as pressies and they looked so beautiful. Don't be afraid to do something different!

Your traditions are what you make them. They apply to you alone. Make the most of your wedding and marriage. Nobody can ruin that for you. Forget what everyone else does. Don't give their traditions a second thought. Save your energies for your husband. \n\nAnd a big CONGRATS for saving yourself for your husband. It's bold to be different. \n\nHave a great life.
