should I be worried, or what should I do? I love it, and was told by complete strangers (trying on other dresses) at the bridal shoppe that it was perfect on me, but I dont want to see the disapointment on my fiances face when I walk down the isle, I want him to love it. I know its just a dress, but still.

Honey you are the bride and you are wearing the dress. As long as you think its the perfect dress dont worry about any negative comments! If you feel good in it why worry?
Your fiance will completely forget about the dress when he see's you walking down the aisle... so I wouldnt worry about him either.... he will be mesmerized by how beautiful you are.
PS~ Men dont have that great of a fashion sense. Lolz
CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD LUCK!

Two things:
1. Guys normally don't have a clue when it comes to style. Your dress is beautiful; it's got classic style with the lace and elegance of the cut but the modern strapless look.
2. Every wedding dress looks different on each person and some dress styles suite different people more. Even if you (or your fiance) are in love with a certain style, remember that it might not be the most flattering on your body.
Tell him that the dress makes you very happy and hopefully that's enough for him to like it.
Congrats and good luck!

A lot of guys say they don't like a specific style of dress, but when you're walking down the aisle, the only thing that he'll be thinking about is how gorgeous you look - not the dress! Stick with the one you love as long as you feel great in it. But then again, if it's bothering you that he might not like it and that's ruining things for you, you can always look for a new one. Really, just wear what makes you feel beautiful and happy on your big day, and your bf will follow suit!

Just because your fiance prefers one style of to another doesn't mean he won't like this style on you! The dress you chose is very beautiful and lacey. If it looks great on you than I am sure he will love it!! Theres no way you could possibly disappoint him! You're going to marry him!! Don't read too much into what he said. It's not as if he forbade you from wearing a "skinny" dress!!

That's a beautiful dress and if it's the perfect dress for you, then don't worry about what he thinks. Trust me, when you're walking down that aisle and you both are grinning from ear to ear, he won't be thinking that you're wearing the kind of dress that he doesn't like. He'll be thinking that you look amazing in it and that he can't believe he's marrying someone like you.
Besides, since when does the groom even care about the wedding dress? It's not his choice.

First off, that is an absolutly beautiful dress! i was thinking of getting a dress like that but don't have th boobs for a strapless LoL. I'm sure you're going to look georgious in it! But since when do guys get a say in what dress we buy? We're the ones wearing it, not them. And if he really, truly loves, you, you could be in shorts and a tank top and he'll still love you and marry you [OK, thats a little extreme, but you could wear ANYTHING if you wanted to]. I think he'll get over it.

That is a beautiful dress and if complete strangers remarked how perfect it was on you, then he is going to see that too. If you were to get the kind of dress he likes, it might look terrible on you and he wouldn't want that. Stick with the dress you bought and when he sees how radiant you look walking down the aisle all he'll be thinking of is how perfect that dress is on you.

Pretty dress - and if you have the figure to pull it off - then do so - you lucky girl.
He's marrying you - not the dress.
But then again, it's HIS day too - so, did he mention not caring for "skinny" dresses before you picked this one out?
That said, perhaps you can show him the ad-photo of the dress - and if he really detests it, consider taking it back.
And insist that he go with you to pick out a dress both of you can be happy with... That wive's tale about the groom not seeing the bride in her gown until the wedding is a big fat myth - that is a throw back to when women were chattel and marriages were arranged. Even the veil thing - you didn't see the woman's face until you were pronounced man and wife. All that stuff is a myth.
So if he's going to be picky, he'll have to break with tradition and help you pick out a dress that you both love.

He will be so floored by you and your dress that any thought of not liking a skinny dress will leave his mind entirely. My husband doesn't like strapless dresses (what else are there anymore?? That was mostly what the store had) because they don't look good on some people (we had a friend with very large top and she was falling out of hers- not pretty). He didn't know mine was strapless til the day of but he said I was the most beautiful woman he ever laid eyes on. We're very honest so on our first anniversary I flat out asked him if he fibbed to save my feelings and he said "no because I can't lie and you'd have been mad if you caught me lying".
Your guy just hasn't seen how gorgeous you are in your dress, so relax and don't let on to that's what your dress looks like.

First off, VERY pretty dress, I would kill for the hips to pull that off! lol!
odds are, he's not gonna notice the dress as much as he's gonna notice the overall look of you.....my husband can't tell you what my dress looked like other that it was white and "sleeveless" (it was strapless....lol!) unless hes looking at pictures....and we got married only 3 months ago! but he knows I looked great...and that I obviously felt great and confident in it and it showed....he's gonna be noticing the overall "WOW", most likely not the dress as much.....I can almost guarantee its not gonna be disapointment in his face...tell him if you feel like it that you found an absolutly georgeous dress that you know is THE ONE, and everyone who has seen it agrees, that it is skinny, but its the prettiest thing ever (really talk it up) and If it makes you happy, I really think he'll look for the good in it! congrats!
