My partner and I are going to get married in Washington D.C. It will be just the two of us, an officiant and whoever happens to be walking by. We will not have a wedding in our home town, but we will have a reception. I don't know if I should wear my wedding dress or another gown. I want to wear another gown, because I am terribly clumsy. But I also want my mom to see me in my wedding dress. I don't know what to do.
