About Mrs. Joey

While I was getting my hair done, my photographer Jess ran off with my dress. I figured he wanted to take pictures of it in a locker or run it up the school’s flag pole. The teacher’s lounge where I got ready wasn’t exactly a pretty place to shoot the dress.

So, where was my dress? With Mr. Joey in his classroom. I didn’t know he was seeing the dress, but then I don’t think I would have cared much. Oh well…

I am so glad that they didn’t get any blue marker on the dress. We might have had to throw down. I do actually like these shots, though.

Did your FI see your dress before the wedding ceremony?

I really love the first one - can’t wait to see that pretty dress on you. I don’t think I’ll care about FI seeing my dress, seriously - it’s not really a big deal to me.

I think it’s very cool you went along with it… i would not have been pleased, esp if I hadnt known about it. Im old fashioned though, I want the first look at the dress to be me coming down the aisle in it. I probably would drop-kick my photographer if they did this.

Very cute and creative shots! :) I’m old fashioned in that the Mr. won’t be seeing my dress until the big day.

Those are so creative and unique! I think it’s okay if he sees the dress just as long as you’re not in it. I’m way to control freak though, no way no how anyone will be taking my dress for little adventure right before it’s about to be put on. LOL ;)

I can’t believe your photographer brought your dress straight to your guy without even telling you, but they are great shots, and I’m glad you were okay with it.

Uh yes, I just tried on my dress in front of the fiance for like the 5th time so he could tell me if my shoes look okay. It’s a dress - not a state secret.

How adorable! My fiance pretends not to care much about the dress but he DEFINITELY says he doesn’t want to see it before the wedding. I’m trying to convince him into a first look, but not making much progress on that :)

they’re very good shots, although i’ll be mad if the photog just goes and shows the dress to my FI, without my consent… even if my FI has seen the dress before, i think there’s something really special on waiting until the bride has it on…

I told my FI he won’t see it until the wedding day & he was shocked… he doesn’t believe I can keep it from him for that long! :)

Very cute! My boy is so nervous about finding out ANYTHING about my dress. I made the mistake of mentioning dress styles I didn’t like while watching a wedding related show and he was mortified! He actually said “Oh, I know what your dress looks like now!” please :-) so you can see what I am dealing with. i have since learned.

Awwww that is so, so cute! I especially love it cause boyfriend is going back to school and I fully intent on using this idea to write in his planner as “home work”!

The thought of him seeing your dress doesn’t bother me, but the thought of little specks of dry-erase marker rubbing off on it makes me short of breath!

i would have been pissed if my FI had seen my dress. Especially after I’ve been trying to hide it from him forever, and then if he sees it the last hour before he is supposed to see it on me!

Wow, that was a risk, glad you were ok with it. My fiance isn’t seeing mine till I’m in it.

Is it bad that my initial thought was, “OH GOD PLEASE NOT MARKER NEAR THE DRESS!!”

I’m turning into my mother.

My first thought was I hope they didn’t get any blue marker on it, glad to hear it was safe. I’m dying to see the dress on you!

Cute! OMG I wish I could find the link to this amazing picture I saw!! The picture is of a couple sitting in chairs in front of a dry erase board & there are thought bubbles drawn on the board and hers said “I love him” and his said ” I love her” it was SO cute!!

Seriously, that is an absolutely adorable picture!! I may have been upset that he saw the dress before the walk down the aisle, but that’s a pretty darn good excuse!

I really like the second one from the bottom! I can’t believe they did that to your dress without asking you, though! OMG, the marker!!
