uh oh...I'm going to be 'that girl'

n and wear a big princess dress for my VR...

I'm from Jersey... I can't help it that's just me.

As far as etiquette I think that kind of has to go out the window as far as a VR is concerned. There are so many rules of etiquette that I'm sure every single VR bride is going to break at least one of them. I've heard so many things about dress, veil, the amount of years, veil etc. LOTS of 'rules'...too many actually.. Some may even scoff at a VR all together as not being very 'appropriate' but you know what...who cares what other people think...

right? I think if you are paying for a special moment for you and your spouse that's a beautiful thing and you do whatever you want

To be honest when I bought the dress (my VR is two years away...

) I was at first looking at a simple little short white dress but that's not me...and I thought...why wear something that isn't me just because someone might 'think' I was being tacky? Besides if someone is going to whisper behind your back about breaking rules of etiquette they certainly won't attend the VR at all...I say wear what is your taste, and what you like! The VR gowns pictured on this thread are GORGEOUS BTW...
