We have friends who got married the day before our first anniversary, an hour away from home, and DH was best man, so I was at a wedding where I knew no one save the bride and groom and had to sit by myself. Ugh, I feel for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711285 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:24:05 +0000 MrsTiz 711285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: It's crazy, they came to our wedding, so they know when it was..and they know we live very far away, and our hotel is 45-1 hour away from their houses, so for them to act like DH is single really makes me mad. DH told them we would just pay for my food if that is the issue, but he said that there was no room for me..soooo I don't know what kind of place they are going to. Truth be told, i'd rather sit at the hotel than hang out with these people :)</p> <p>@Dapple Grey: that is exactly my plan- our hotel has free wifi, woop woop!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I could see if it were a black tie affair and she wanted me to be dressy, but she's telling me to wear a verry casual dress, I am anxious to see how her wedding goes! </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: DH told the groom before he proposed to me and the guy ended up proposing to his GF 5 days later and now they're getting married the same weekend we did. Crazytown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711260 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:17:01 +0000 Mrsbells 711260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry but I think its weird for the bride to tell you what to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711253 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:15:07 +0000 MamaMoose 711253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: You are nicer than I am. If I wasn't invited to the rehearsal dinner with my husband neither of us would go. You don't invite one spouse to a social engagement and not the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711222 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:04:44 +0000 blackbird 711222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love that blue dress!</p> <p>This wedding sounds...entertaining </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711188 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:53:47 +0000 Dapple Grey 711188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give you credit.. I would be feigning illness and instead ordering in food at the hotel in my pajamas, taking a bubble bath an watching movies/taking advantage of any free wifi... Besides sound like the bride is really too wrapped up in herself to really care and your being completely separated from your husband. </p> <p>Anyways i think you would look lovely in all of the above, just go for the one you feel most comfy with physically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711101 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:35:17 +0000 hellobeeboston 711101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: love that longer blue dress! that seems perfect!</p> <p>umm, this wedding sounds a little nuts - you can't go to the rehearsal dinner?! that is So rude. and it would seem like you should dress up if the bride &amp; groomsmen are going to be so formal - but yeah, maybe she doesn't want everyone else dressy. </p> <p>bizarre! well, sit back, enjoy a little quiet time to yourself (aww) and then this will be over... i've been to weddings where I don't know ANYONE and DH is in the wedding party - not fun, but try to see the humor in it.</p> <p>and BUMMER that it's your first anniversary - my SIL did that to me. got engaged, planned a wedding in a month and did it on our anniversary weekend that we had booked a trip for and then had to cancel to go to her last minute (second) wedding that we had to be in. oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-711002 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:11:23 +0000 swurlygurl 711002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an awful first anniversary! You can't even drink to pretend have fun... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710905 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:49:28 +0000 MrsTiz 710905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Good idea, i'll get a field journal and take very detailed notes of the subject. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710890 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:47:22 +0000 Happygal 710890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: this is sounding so very bad. I was going to tell you not to go, since they aren't trying at all to make you fee welcome, until I read that it is before your anniversary. And she kind of sounds like the bride that would hate you for life if you bowed out. I'm sorry! </p> <p>Try to imagine you're an anthropologist studying crazy brides when you're there. Maybe that will help a smidge. And take lots of pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710876 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:44:07 +0000 MrsTiz 710876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: @sslm: @HLK208: @MrsStormy: Okay, that is the one then! I already own it, so woohooo! Only thing is, it's reallly low cut so i'll need to find a tank or bandeau, nbd. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710869 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:42:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 710869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Agreed! Sounds like bride wants the guests in casual attire while she and wedding party are fairly formal! Kinda odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710860 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:41:55 +0000 MrsTiz 710860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I'll sum it up for you, it'll be almost like you are coming! Except you get the pleasure of not having to.</p> <p>-It's 5 hours away from our house<br /> -Closest hotel is 45 minutes away from the venue<br /> -DH has to go to the rehearsal dinner, they told me I can't go "it's full"<br /> -There will be no rap, hip hop, dance, etc music. No cuss words in any music -only country.<br /> -There is a coordinated dance they are doing into the reception- DH is 5 hours away and can't practice w/ them<br /> -I don't get to sit with DH at the reception (or ceremony of course)<br /> - I don't know ANYONE there<br /> -The groom requested DH take him to the bar and I be their DD...OR I can go to the brides family only (grandmas and moms, not young family) bachelorette, where they hired a stripper, OR stay alone in the hotel, again.<br /> -Bride is wearing a big ball gown dress, gloves and tiara..with cowboy boots.<br /> -Boys are wearing full tux's with vests and all that<br /> -Told me to wear a sundress<br /> -I asked how the weather is there..she said "Like normal April." ...is April in the mountains the same as where I am!??!<br /> -It is the day before our first anniversary, so we get a 5 hour car ride on our first anniversary. woo.<br /> -It is costing us ~$900 to go on this, plus 4 unpaid days off work.<br /> -Her registry is $150+ items</p> <p>...if you wanna come you can because I'll be alone all weekend. Not to mention now DH and I can't afford anniversary gifts, and our weekend is slam jammed with crap for them, so next to no alone time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710849 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:39:40 +0000 HLK208 710849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: the blue dress would look best with your husbands tux! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710847 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:39:32 +0000 sslm 710847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I love the last one you posted!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710846 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:39:31 +0000 MrsStormy 710846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the longer one you posted would be good :-) The other was probably a bit to casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710825 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:35:37 +0000 tysonja 710825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: i like the blue maxi you posted! cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710789 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:28:47 +0000 Happygal 710789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to be a fly on the wall at this affair.

I think the first one would be too much of a contrast to DH in his tux. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710755 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:19:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 710755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I think that one is perfect. Easily dressed up or down, and not too fitted at all without being tent like. And it would look nice with flat pretty sandals OR cowboy boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710736 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:10:47 +0000 MrsTiz 710736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about this one? I'm all bloated and uncomfortable so I don't want to wear anything fitted </p> <p>gah why is this so difficult. </p> [attach=2456/13/ml5bdz.177x408.dres.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710680 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:59:56 +0000 looch 710680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I'd rather be over dressed than underdressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710655 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:54:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 710655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go fancier than the striped dress, but just go with what you are comfortable with. I'd rather be over dressed than under. I think you are going to see a really wide range of dressiness at this wedding-- sparkly princess dress, sundresses... and everything in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710633 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:50:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 710633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for a more dressy outfit tahn the stripped dress, what about something like this and you could wear it with boots or sandals to dress it down: </p> <p><a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=957220022&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC3" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=957220022&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC3</a> </p> <p><a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=94550910537&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC44&#038;green=2ddff400-5820-333e16-8f32-8d8ce5ba0de3" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=94550910537&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC44&#038;green=2ddff400-5820-333e16-8f32-8d8ce5ba0de3</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710613 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:45:42 +0000 MrsTiz 710613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Nope, I only know the couple getting married. They aren't fancy people...at.all. They don't have a photographer, so if they take pictures it will be from friends.</p> <p>This is the dress the grooms sister is wearing, for an idea of the "formality" </p> [attach=2456/13/ml5a86.238x509.sister.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710588 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:39:21 +0000 chopsuey 710588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the striped dress is too casual. Would get something a little dressier like @Ash posted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710585 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:38:00 +0000 swurlygurl 710585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know anyone else going to the wedding, so you could ask what they're wearing? It's always such an awkward thing trying to figure out what to wear to big events.</p> <p>I usually err on the side of being too dressed up rather than being under-dressed. Especially if you hope to take any pictures with DH, since he's going to be so fancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710582 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:37:03 +0000 MrsKoala 710582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the first stripey dress would look off with your DH in a tux. I second Ash's suggestion. That sundress is just a little more dressy in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710574 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:35:03 +0000 Ash 710574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.oldnavy.gap.com/product.html?dn=op386306012&#038;dv=0&#038;shopid=1&#038;pdn=oc15292" rel="nofollow">http://m.oldnavy.gap.com/product.html?dn=op386306012&#038;dv=0&#038;shopid=1&#038;pdn=oc15292</a></p> <p>This would be cute with cowboy boots. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-wear-to-this-wedding#post-710566 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:33:25 +0000 MrsTiz 710566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>anyone? </p>
