Any other bumpy brides out there?

[Lolli]

Hi all,
I'm getting married in July and I will be 30 weeks pregnant I went in yesterday to pick a different dress and almost cried swapping my corseted princess ball gown for a Grecian style empire line (Still very nice, but the coresetted one was soooo pretty).

So, any other bumpy brides out there? How far pregnant were you at your wedding? Did you have a huge bump or a little compact one (I can't remember how big I was at 30 weeks with ds)? Any tips for me? And did you have any *ahem* rellos with a bit of an attitude problem about it- I think my nan will be horrified at me walking down the aisle looking all bumpy...

Lori I was 30 weeks pregnant when we were married and I was pretty huge But it really didn't matter, in fact I forgot I was pregnant for most of the night. I was having such a wonderful time and was so happy that being pregnant was a bit of a non-event fo the evening iykwim. I always imagined I would get married in the big princess dress but in the end it didn't bother me at all that instead I had to wear a flowing roomy dress, I think being a bit older (30) and settled changed what I wanted/expected from our wedding - anyway there is always the chance to renew our vows in 5 or 10 years in a big gown Basically the most important thing was that DH and I had the best night ever and were just so happy to be getting married that nothing else mattered.

I was about 26 weeks pg with #3, I was wearing a beautiful off the shoulder flowing dress, with a long train, I felt so pretty and for a time even forgot that I had a little someone squirming around in my belly. Plus having my older two there at the time was great, our oldest was 4 and he still remembers it.

Sometimes I wish that I was a bit smaller but really I think it really was the best day of my life and I can always have a renewal later down the track and not be pg.

I hope you have a wonderful day

hugs xoxo

I love bumpy brides - work that glow! Use it before you lose it!
Pregnant weddings are fabulous - it's like a double celebration. Relatives with 'tude can go... be skinny somewhere else if they don't like it!

I'm getting married in May, I will be 22 weeks pregnant. I already had a dress which I won't be wearing now, but I went and got another dress last week which is just as nice.

I got married on Sunday with a 28wk bump. My tip would be aswell as the bump check how your boobs will be, I had a dress (not really a wedding dress just a smart one from RIPE) and it looked fine when I bought it but when put it on, on day of wedding although it fitted still it didn't cover my boobs as much as I would like. Thank goodness I had some flowers to hold, or all the photos would have been all cleavage! Some of the photos (we didn't have an official photographer) where I wasn't holding the flowers I am more exposed than I would like! But we had a great day, was only a little informal wedding and being pregnant didn't really make a difference.

Thanks for the links girls, you both look beautiful

I'm having my dress measurement so I'll keep that it mind and go a size up to accomodate possible boobies (they can always take it in again, and hey, some boobies for my wedding would be lovely! )
