Accidentally Blurted Out Secret Info

LaLa, on May 20, 2019 at 2:04 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 16

So we had our tasting this weekend. Everything went well except I felt like the venue coordinator was rapid firing questions. She was talking so fast, it was like an auctioneer lol.

So as we're making decisions she starts asking about linens, and what color we want. I was pretty overwhelmed at this point with all the decisions and just answered each question as we went on. So she shows me some linens that just happen to be pretty much the exact same color as my dress. She's asking us 'do you like these napkins'? 'Don't forget to keep your dress in mind'. So completely not thinking I just said oh yeah these linens are actually very similar to the color of my dress ... RIGHT IN FRONT MY FH. Total facepalm moment, I honestly wanted to cry. It completely ruined the surprise that my dress is pink. So now FH knows that my dress is pink. so there goes the surprise moment. I guess I just need to hear it's not the end of the world lol. He doesn't know what it looks like right?! UGH. I was so embarrassed and annoyed I just wanted to walk out right then and there and cancel the whole thing. I know that's dramatic lol, so I just need some reassurance.

    Aww don't stress, it happens! You're right that he has no idea what style, what exact shade, what material, etc..... guys tend to have very minimal visualization about dresses from my experience hahaha, just because he knows it's "pink" wouldn't ruin anything, I don't think! Brides that wear white, their FH's all know (or assume) what "color" their dress is, and that doesn't take ANYTHING away!

    He might forget, chances are if she was going really fast he might have been overwhelmed and not paying attention either! Don't sweat it, he still doesn't know the shape, style, texture, and what you'll do with your hair

    I'd be surprised if he cares lol. He will be just as excited to see you no matter what color you're wearing! I can understand why you're frustrated though!

    Yeah, knowing the color is not really giving much away. My FH has found out its strapless because I needed to buy a strapless bathing suit to avoid tan lines, and he knows it has lace because I accidentally explained that the alterations were so expensive because taking off and moving up the lace for the hem is a lot of work. He still has no idea what it looks like. Is it a mermaid? Is it a ballgown? The possibilities are endless. Pink is a pretty vague clue. You're fine.

    Don't stress. I'm sure when he sees you in your dress, his face will tell it all, whether your dress is pink, purple, blue or white.

    HA, I did the same thing last weekend when shoe shopping! Honestly I don't know if FH even caught it. I'm sure your FH will love it no matter what. Smiley smile

    Don't stress my FH knows that my dress is pink also. But there are so many shades of pink so he will still be surprised.

    I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much. After I went dress shopping we all met my FH for lunch and someone let it slip out that I'm actually wearing a skirt. I just laughed and let it go. As for him, he just said okay LOL. He has no clue what it looks like so I'm okay with that. It will be fine, and I bet your FH will be stunned all the same when you walk down the aisle

    Even if he sees your dress on a hangar, he has no idea how it looks on. . . . . And you know, there is actually no reason he cannot see you in your dress before wedding day. On the one hand, you would like to surprise him. On the other hand, if he sees you in the dress well before the wedding, he will keep thinking of how beautiful you are in it. Anticipation, looking forward to things you have wanted that finally happen, is an awful lot of the pleasure. My FI did see me in my dress, when I was making a final decision to buy that one, or 2 others nice but not my favorites. He cried when he saw the one I had liked best. And now and then through planning, he would get this finny look, and say, I keep seeing you in the dress, in my mind. . . . . Think of how many times you have thought about the dress, just imagining wedding day. Would it be such a tragedy to give your FI that pleasure?

    From what I know, guys are very visual and have a harder time picturing things than women do.

    Even if he caught the slip up, he probably can't even picture what a pink wedding dress looks like.

    If he's anything like my FH, he either A: wasn't paying attention anyways or B: will forget by the end of the day. Has he mentioned it since? If not, I have a feeling he already forgot.
