I love this dress, but am I too old for it?

I went wedding dress shopping for the first time today and actually had fun (I hate shopping in general). I found a dress I love, and I think it looks pretty good on, and will look even better if I can drop a few pounds as I plan to. Is it too young a dress for my age, though? I'm 42. Maybe cut off...

Is it too young a dress for my age, though? I'm 42. Maybe cut off the train to make it more age-appropriate?

    Holy cow. Lose a few pounds? Seriously? Look at your back! It's beautifully defined. Look at the front of the dress! It was made for you.

    Too old for it? Hell, no. You look absolutely amazing. Perfection in white.

    And leave that train alone. A bride needs a train, and that train belongs to you.

    If I was 42 with that body, I'd rock it. I didn't have that body at 22!

    I'm not totally sure what being 42 has to do with being a happy, blessed and blushing bride. I say wear it and smile like the new lottery winner #Boom

    You look amazing in that dress. Better than I'd look in it at 25. I say go for it. If you're confident it'll suit you perfectly.

    You look great in it and I don't think you are too old for it. A jumbo ball gown might be the only dress that I would say has an age restriction. This one does not though.

    You look amazing! I vote to keep it. And you don't need to lose weight for it to look better.

    @Miami, lol... right, no ball gown for sure. As she was pulling dresses I kept saying, "no poofy, no bling."
