Hey thanks for your comment. I actually did offer up a reason after she asked why not and I was very diplomatic and thoughtful with my response, and then the thread disappeared. I probably should have stated that in the story, sorry. But I get what you're saying though. If she felt beautiful that's all that matters. I get that too. But why then come on the internet and ask for opinions if you already love the dress, feel beautiful and are determined to buy it? It shouldn't matter what anyone thinks at that point.
