I know that I hardly ever post here but whatever thought maybe someone could give some advice.
So I'm getting married tomorrow afternoon at the courthouse and I know it's not going to be a fancy ordeal or anything but I have no idea what to wear. It doesn't help that I'm 20 weeks pregnant and hardly fit in anything I own.
What does ML think? Should I bother worrying about it or just wear whatever? I figured I'd at least try to find a cute dress or something.
I know, right?! I've been looking on and off for weeks but nothing is right. Maybe I'm just too picky. I just wanted something that was fitted enough to show that I'm pregnant and not that I just ate a bunch of ice cream or something. I wish I had a girlfriend that was good at this sort of thing so I'd have someone to bounce ideas off of.
Ah, you need a dress! I think anything you can find that you feel pretty and special in will do. People show up in everything from jeans to full on wedding gowns.
We got hitched at the courthouse and I wore a short strapless champagne colored dress from J Crew, with little heels and threw a piece of veil tufted in my hair. We also didn't have a follow up ceremony/reception or anything, so that was it and we wanted to be dressy. We hired a photographer and got flowers and called it a day.
I wouldn't worry about it, per say. But, if you have time tonight I think you should hit up the mall for something that makes you feel pretty.
20 weeks was just when I actually started showing and it was rough for a bit making it look like I hadn't binged on ice cream like you said. Maternity clothes made me look (or maybe just feel) actually pregnant and not fat. Is there a Motherhood or a Pea in the Pod near you? If not, some macy's stores have maternity.

You definitely need a cute dress, even just a sundress or maxi dress that makes you feel pretty. Is it too late to schedule an appointment to get your hair styled? Just a little something to make you feel extra pretty and special would be nice, I think.
i'm def. a little wtf that you are mulling over clothing choices NOW. the day before! whatttt
I know, I know. I really have been looking around online and in person a lot. It's just exhausting and I hate shopping. I'm definitely going to look into the dress Bernadine posted.
So this is the one Bernadine recommended. I really like it but they only have a large. I don't think it looks too big. Plus it's on sale for $20. WDMLT?
Did you really like it or are you just getting it because it's there? You should feel amazing in the dress not just meh.
If you liked it, you should go for it. I would wear some black or red patent heels. Pop into the grocery store tonight and grab some roses, cut the stems short and wrap them with a bright color ribbon. Adorable.
Then do it. Do you have any sewing skills where you can nip in the sides on the top? Just a few quick stitches on either side will have it pulled in enough to where you are more comfortable.
