Change of Wedding Dresses

I could never understand why brides change their dresses so many times during a wedding. Some tell me that the dresses are so beautiful and they can't decide so they'll take all 3 and change 3 times so that they can wear and showcase all the dresses. I think that's bull. It's not easy getting in and out of wedding dresses. Most dresses need a helper to help you into it. And even then there's a lot of hopping or jumping involved. Of course, this is all behind the scenes. Hahaha! Not to mention at least the hair (if not the make up too) needs to be changed or modified slightly to complement the dress. What a lot of time wasted doing all of that. I rather be spending my time being among my friends at your wedding rather than in the changing room.

But I finally understand (kinda) the reason now that I'm a bride myself.

And I'll be changing twice. But not for due to the beautiful dresses.

The wedding dress itself is usually very beautiful but tight fitting. But it needs to be tight fitting in order to have that WOW factor and for the bride to look like a princess (or a fairy, in my case). So I'll start off with the main bridal gown (of which I have 2, for the different weddings) and when I can no longer breathe or move, I'll change into a second dress which is more comfortable and I can move around and mingle easily.

It's not easy to walk around in a tight dress, with a full skirt, with a train and in high heels to boot.

But i still won't go to the extent of changing 3 dresses.
