Postpone the wedding because pregnant?

Question

We were planning on getting married this January, but I just found out that I am pregnant. I will be 7 months on the day of the wedding. I have already bought my dress, but we haven't made a deposit on the reception site. I wouldn't mind getting married then. I just have one concerns. Is there any way that my dress (A-line) could be let out enough to wear it? It may seem silly, but I really want to get married in this dress. below is the link

Thanks!

Answer 1

AN A-LINE DRESS IS VERY HARD TO LET OUT I WOULDPOSTPONE PLUS YOU WILL BE ON YOUR FEET ALOT AND THATS NOT VERY GOOD FOR YOU!

Answer 2

Same thing happened to me, so I moved our wedding date up (from November to May).  

Good luck!

Answer 3

I'm not sure about the dress and whether or not it can be let out, but just a little something to think about....if you choose to postpone the marriage, it could be quite some time before you are able to have it because the first year with a baby is very busy and can be quite hectic.  And, another thing to consider is that this child will one day discover he/she was born out of wedlock...if that's important to you, you may want to weigh out the pros and cons.  Good luck!

Answer 4

i agree with the earlier wedding option :) we went with a 4 month engagement since my hubby to be is in the military. sure it's been a little hectic at times, but everything is almost done and we're very happy. anyways, good luck and congrats!!!

Answer 5

I loved your dress!

Answer 6

awesome dress. but it is for a girl with a waist, and a thin one. it wouldn't look good if u try mendle with it. also after giving birth lots of women gain weight and it takes time to lose it. usually it is possible after u quit breast feeding. so i say either make reception now or u will have to postpone it till the next january

Answer 7

I know of some women who have stuck to their marriage plans after falling pregnant and some who have postponed the wedding.

I think when you're having a baby you are often so focussed on everything to do with your new arrival, and rightly so, that you don't want the added pressure of organising a wedding.

One of my friends was really unhappy with her wedding because she felt so bloated and couldn't wear the dress she wanted.

If you haven't paid a deposit for anything and you have your dress, I'd recommend you wait until after you've had the baby because I think you'll have enough on your plate.

Congrats!

Answer 8

I would move the wedding day UP, not postpone it.  I wouldn't change the dress at all. It is pretty.

Answer 9

can you make ur wedding earlier than that day?

or if not can you take a bigger size in your dress...

Answer 10

Of course get married in this dress, but plan a wedding as soon as possible! That way, it's done and out of the way, then the two of you can concentrate on being parents!

Answer 11

If it's that specific dress you want to get married in, then you should look your best in it, and no pregnant woman looks their best!

It won't effect the child in the long term, so why not wait until after it's born to tie the knot? It might be something really special to have your child actually at your wedding, sitting in the audience with your parents!

At any rate, you can't ever be sure of how things will end up, so don't risk ruining your dress by letting the seams out, and don't make a down payment on the reception site yet.

You have your whole life ahead of you, so don't rush the most important day of your life just because you have unexpected plans!
