There is one concept that usually evades the groom but comes instinctively to the bride. It is simply this; the most important thing your wedding budget will provide is the wedding dress. Without the dress, forget it. Every woman, whether she admits to it or not, wants to be seen by her soon to be husband, for the fist time, in the most beautiful dress in the world. It is a moment that little girls dream of and they carry that dream in their hearts until the magical moment occurs, at which time she lovingly transforms it into a beautiful memory. They actually have the ability to capture this exact moment in time, like a sudden holding of one’s breath, in their minds and play it back with absolute clarity.

A woman also has the ability to know the perfect wedding dress as soon as she sees it. In fact, there is a high suspicion in the scientific community that a woman instinctively knows from the moment she walks through the bridal shop door whether her dress is in the building or in the catalog. More often than not, the woman does not recognize this moment until she physically sees the dress but brain activity indicates the chemical reaction is there. My wife, for instance, claims that she did not know until she put the dress, the seventh one she tried, on. However, the moment she put it on, she knew with an utter certainty, that this was the one.

She describes this feeling by comparing it to another basic and natural instinct that women possess without knowing it. She says that it is just about the same feeling she had when the nurse came through her hospital room door with her first child and put it in her arms, The moment, she states, that the child was in her arms, she knew that this beautiful miracle had come from her womb. She insists that had it been someone else’s baby, she would have known instantly. “It is the same exact feeling,” she told me upon reflection, “only not as strong.” This is one of the unexplained phenomena that occurs in a woman’s life and what makes the wedding dress the most important purchase a couple can make in the preparation of a ceremony that will bind the two of them in love, for a lifetime.

My wife also told me about a dress that had 150 one-carat diamonds attached to it and cost just over 12 million dollars, U.S. which, she would have loved to try on. “However,” she said, “if they were giving away dresses and that was one of them and I tried them both on, the one with the diamonds and the one I actually purchased, I would have made the same decision and while I would have loved to keep the diamond dress, I would not have worn it to the wedding. There is only one dress in the world that would have worked for my wedding and I wore it.” You have to admire that kind of commitment.

Men, on the other hand see the tuxedo as just a suit. It is about the same decision as whether to give the guests glass wedding favors or crystal wedding favors, it just does not matter to us. I will admit this, however. When I saw my wife in her dress as she made her way toward the alter, I fell in love with her all over again. All that love that I had in my heart for her was re-crystallized and I knew…, I just instinctively knew that I wanted to spend every single moment of my life with her. I wonder if it is the same kind of feeling she had when she first put that dress on.
