  Super cute for date night. Leave your hair down for the next date.

  You look lovely!  And $1,000 for a wedding dress is par, I think.

  Seeing you smile after a rough night says it all.  And the outfit is perfect!

  Thanks for working so hard to make sure your patients get the best care.  Doing a job with excellence makes the whole community stronger.

  As for the lovely white dress...........splurge on the ring.  You wear it every day!

  You look smashing in the dress, Lyn*! And I want to thank you for your courage to do what you believe is right for the patients.

• Suz replied 11 years ago

  You look so happy, Lyn. Glad you got to wear one pretty dress...and hope another is soon in your horizon. 

• Sharon replied 11 years ago

  That depends. Are you planning on getting married?

• lyn* replied 11 years ago

  Well, I think I will get married one day... as opposed to this time last year where I'd say I don't think I'd ever get married.

  $1000 on the dress is kinda nuts for me, but for my colleagues I'd say an average of $3000-4000 is what I have been seeing. Rings are about >$10K. That being said, I hope I meet someone I'd marry for a piece of string tied in a ring :)

  As for leaving my hair down ... it kinda gets all over the place and is yucky and eww.

  ETA: I have sort of gained a "cowboy" reputation around the hospital (for better or for worse) - I strongly believe in my gut and doing what is right. Can't really give you any details, but I have been backed up my my wonderful senior attending staff on all occasions. Phew. It's scary when you have to stick your neck out, but sometimes you do - I guess that's part of leadership. :)

  You look pretty -- nice to see you smile!

  I hope it was a great date to end a not so great day. You look beautiful and isn't it nice to have a FFBO to fall back on. I love the white dress, but am superstitious about buying the dress without the proposal. Just me.

  Lyn - with your integrity I imagine you are one heckuva fabulous doctor! Good for you for pushing what's best for your patients.

  You look great in this dress and after a stressful shift, a FFBO is called for.

  Very pretty wedding dress...

  You look so pretty, lyn*!  Good for you for sticking to your guns, cowgirl.  Pretty wedding dress.  Will we all be invited?  ;)

• Diana replied 11 years ago

  You look great, and hooray for sticking to your guns at work!

  I paid significantly less for my wedding dress but it was not a traditional poufy wedding dress. (And sold out in a hot second so lots of people had the same idea.). I'd say 1K is pretty normal for one, and it was in fact my upper limit, I was just lucky to find the perfect dress for a lot less.

  But I was thinking you could do a more casual version (like for date night) with a full skirt and dressy top. Like this outfit of mine but with a fancier top.

  @ Ceit - it's a rare occurrence. Like the blue moon. ;)

  @jj - I hadn't thought about the superstitious part, good call! I'll just save the picture to bug the bridal people when the time comes!

  @ Shannon - I think it's also the best for me - I'm not unselfish you know ;) - FFBO make me happy.

  @ Ali - We've talked about small weddings. My idea of small is 20 people. His idea of small is 100 people. We'll get there... hopefully...

  @ Diana - I've been struggling to find a nice selection of shorter ones; preferably one I can dye a different colour when all is said and done so I don't need to have a perfectly fitting dress sitting around that I can not wear again!

• Kristin L replied 11 years ago

  You look so happy! Yay! Your dress and cardigan look great as well.

  After doing some wedding dress shopping and pricing with my mom, it got a little scary seeing how much some can cost. That one is very pretty, but I'd be hesitant unless I could try it on and everything. I found mine for less that 1K, but it can be hard to find a shorter one. I've seen a few advertised, but I couldn't get any prices. And normally I don't go for beads and all that, but when I put mine on, it just suddenly clicked.

  @ K - That is a breath-taking dress! And on sale! :) I think you're right and I'll sit on it and wait - who knows; I may not get married for a billion zillion kajillion years.

  You look very pretty, as usual lyn. I like Angies suggestion to leave your hair down on date night. Shake things up a bit.
