you're like stars
lol this is silly..just answer the poll ^_^

this is for someone who is in a serious relationship but nooooooo where near getting married.
 
Um. No. I mean, I LOOKED at wedding dresses before we were engaged, but I didn't go to a store to even try one on, let alone buy one. That's part of the process AFTER you get the ring, lol.
 
No I wouldn't. Not because it is creepy but because I don't usually buy pricey things unless I am sure I need them.
 
lol ty guys ^_^ .. i just saw something on fb and was like o_O .. the girlfriend of someone close to me- was all going shopping and trying them on etc.. they're no where near that point. why would you dooo that? let alone freak out the poor guy LOL
 
i said no, but not cuz it's creepy, but bcuz so much can change....
- your weight
- your taste
- the season

etc......


EXCITING THOUGH!!!! :D
 
Ummm, NO! Not because it's creepy I guess but for the reasons Lauren mentioned. I'd spend all that $$$ on the dress and then he wouldn't propose until 3 years later and I'd be fatter or there'd be another dress out there I liked better. :p
 
If I was not married and thought it was a for sure thing that we were getting married (meaning the guy had already said he planned on asking) and I found a really great deal on the perfect dress I would. Otherwise probably not.
 
No, because even if the guy said it was a for sure thing... you still don't know when it will happen and it could still be years which would mean my tastes had changed and I probably wouldn't like the dress anymore, plus so many things can happen between now and then... it's way too expensive to take that risk... and yes, it's also creepy.
 
Somewhere between creepy and wth?!? Ditto to whatever else said, bad juju, jinxing all that stuff. If I had done that, I would have not fit into my dress. I was 6 months pregnant when I got married and any dress I would have picked would not have fit. Personally, it sounds like the act of someone desperate and wanting attention.
 
I don't think it's creepy. I had my dress before I had my engagement ring...but had a promise ring and DH had already asked the big question.
 
I did say the dress buying is creepy... however, I did set the date and shopped for rings with hubby before he asked... One night in September 2003 we were talking about how cool it would be if we were to get married to do it on the anniversary of our first date (Sept 4). What he didn't realize was that 2004 was a leap year and it pushed the 4th to a Saturday. Then I twisted his arm in October to go look at rings... just for "fun"... and I picked out two settings that I liked. Then in mid-November, he surprised me with the ring and engagement. I looked at it as "planting the seed"... LOL! But the dress... yes, that would have had him running for the hills!
 
I wouldn't say creepy, but I would say you would be taking a BIG risk. Your wedding gown is a very emotional thing and if you did not end up with intended groom, then would you be able to wear it with another. And styles/tastes change and you may end up hating it by the time it is to use it. I would never wear the same dress today that I picked out 14 years ago (married 13). It totally "fit" me back then, but now it is not my style (oh and I still have the thing LOL)!
 
girl is severely under-medicated. Park her in front of a margarita and read her the facts of life if you are a friend.

LMAO!

Sounds to me like she needs a reality check on what a wedding is really all about. Choosing a dress before you choose a groom is just craziness. And heaven help whoever she does marry because that's a bridezilla waiting to be unleashed. :D
 
I chose WTH?! But only because I don't think they are creepy but my answer is no. LOL I Think you shouldn't because you never know what size you are going to be especially if the wedding or anything is WAY WAY down the road.

um, can we say jinxing the marriage?

Oh, yeah! I know some people go try on dresses before they really need one, just for fun (remember the Friends episode?), but to actually buy one crosses the line between acceptable daydreaming and jinxing, IMO.
 
I said other...but I would vote NO, not neccessarily saying you are gonna jinx the marriage but what if your tastes in dresses changes, you decide to elope, or you just decide to have a backyard informal party...plus what if he decides he would like you to be in a cream colored dress with some hint of red or something like that.....
