Old wives' tales - trouble or silly superstition?
Ok, so it has taken nearly a decade but my 1.0 human and I are going to try to elope next month. How in the world we are going to pull this off is beyond me, but we're working on it. One big hurtle is, although I don't want a fancy dress, I do want a white dress. However, even the simple bridesmaid gowns have 6 month ordering times! I'm fairly handy with a needle and thread, been sewing since I was a kid, and a veteran of many a Renaissance Fair costume so I believe I could do a pretty good simple dress. I could get it done in time and it would be tailored exactly to me.
Superstition says if you make your own dress, "Every stitch will be a tear you will shed in your marriage." Now if there is some sort of backlog then I'm ok, because we've had it pretty rough so I believe there has already been more than enough crying to stitch a dress, but I have to admit that, while I normally cast these silly things aside, I don't want to mess this one up. Maybe a little encouragement is in order? Thanks in advance for any stories or advice!
Also, anyone know where I can get some reptile hair picks? That'd be so fun!
PS I do find it funny that BP.net is the one forum I'm a part of that has the highest ratio of female members such that I can post something like this and not get immediately blasted! Ha!

I've never heard this one either. Just throw some salt over your shoulder - that is supposed to fix everything - lol
Best of luck to you with your plans.

Sorry, I couldnt resist:D
Wife and I were together forever and then got married when our son was 2:O
She bought and hemmed her own dress because we were poor and we still are BUT 20+ years and we are still at each others throats.;)
That was too funny. I don't think the "white dress" means what it used to. lol :banana::banana::banana:

I had to take advantage of the "PS" while I could:D

You all are cracking me up here! So first I'm going to throw some salt around and then grab a bunch of lucky charms. (Would the cereal work?) These comments are the best! We are so worried about money and time you all are just what I needed.
And YES white! Of course, I'm one of those "keep out of direct sunlight" almost albino humans, so even white is going to look a little ivory on me... but that works because my little golden crested flower girl will hopefully cooperate for some photos and she's going to look amazing on the white satin and that's what's really important, right?
