What tradition did you break?

So I was watching Say Yes to the Dress and it got me thinking about my dress shopping experience. I actually went dress shopping 3 times. Once with my mom, once with my sister and then finally once by myself. When I was shopping with others, I felt super awkward which made it hard to actually know what I liked. I ended up buying a dress, getting it home and realizing it was not for me! So I returned the dress and I went by myself. I had the best time, tried on a variety of dresses, joked around with the stylist and ended up picking a dress by his recommendation that I never would have picked out for myself! Not all traditional are right for everyone! So I thought it would be fun to here about your “break in tradition experience”!
