Did you cry when you got your dress?

So I bought my dress today. Wedding is 10/23, so time is little and I know this. There were factors into a short engagement and honestly I wasnt expecting to go buy my dress at David's Bridal. Also, budget is super tight. Well I saw they are having their $99 sale and decided to go look. Of course...
So I bought my dress today. Wedding is 10/23, so time is little and I know this. There were factors into a short engagement and honestly I wasnt expecting to go buy my dress at David's Bridal. Also, budget is super tight. Well I saw they are having their $99 sale and decided to go look. Of course being a curvier woman they had nothing in my size. FH and starting Keto which worries me about purchasing a dress as it is. But I need one. Anyways, the stylist brought out this one dress. It was $200. Perfect for the beach wedding. It is comfy and will look great if I lose weight. Well searching for DDs dress I saw a bride cry and realize I didnt cry. Then realized I settled. I really like my dress. It is very pretty. But it isn't The One! But with budget and everything else...I guess it is perfect. I'll post a picture below in the comments.

So did anyone cry or not cry. Did anyone just settle? Are you happy or have regrets?

    Is their quality good? True to size? I've always wanted to buy a dress from that site.

    I haven’t seen the final version of my dress as it’s being custom made by my brother, who is a designer. No crying, but I will say when he sent me the first toile of the dress (sample for fitting purposes if anyone doesn’t know-I didn’t know until he told me, lol!) and I tried it on, I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief!!! I am still apprehensive about how it’s going to turn out, but the sample dress fit me perfectly so here’s hoping!!!!

    I didn't cry, but I definitely couldn't stop smiling! I was so excited and so in love with my dress that I was just giddy and kept dancing around the bridal shop in my dress lol The owner of the bridal shop put on some music and we all danced with excitement over me saying yes to the dress. The moment was perfect.

    Then when I picked up my dress a few weeks ago, I fell even more in love with it and was giddy with excitement again! I didn't want to take it off haha It was really nice of the bridal shop to let me dance around in my dress (yet again) for 20 minutes before I begrudgingly took it off Smiley tongue

    I didn’t cry. However I have a hard time showing emotions and it’s just not me. But I really like my dress.
