Wedding Undies, Redux...........

It is amazing how the subject of wedding undies seems to be one of endless discussion, miles of debate and total fascination.

Here for your reading pleasure (from the fine folks at ehow.com) is an article devoted to the subject. I present it here for your, for your................ well............. for your entertainment. Discuss amongst yourselves!

You've got the dress; he's got his tux. The day is approaching. One thing the two of you might not have thought about is underwear. Why would you think about underwear on the big day when there are so many other things happening? But as all of us know, there's nothing worse than uncomfortable underwear, especially on the big day. Follow these steps to get the best underwear for your wedding day.

Step1

Go shopping. For the groom this probably isn't a big deal. He'll just wear a pair of boxers he's had since the stone age anyway. But for the bride, it's actually quite important. After you've purchased your dress and you don't foresee any further last minute weight fluctuations, take the time to go buy underwear for the big day. The proper fit will help you not only look better, but also feel better. Try on several pairs based on your preference and that will accommodate your dress. Don't buy black panties to place under your white dress.

Step2

Think about the wedding night. There are two schools of thought on this. You can wear comfortable underwear for the day and then change into something a little sexier for the evening. Or, you can wear something on the sexy side underneath your dress so when you take off your gown you can surprise your groom. Again this is truly based on preference. Most people want comfort during the day and to be wearing something underneath that will allow them to breathe as usual. With the combination of nerves and dancing, one can become quite flushed.

Step3

Try it on under your wedding dress. Buy several underwear options. As long as you keep the receipts and try the underwear on in a respectful manner so not to infringe on the material, you should be able to return the options you ultimately decide against. Once you try it on, make sure there is no visibility of your underwear through your dress. That can be quite tacky. Also be sure to take pictures using a flash. This is what your photographer will be doing on the day. Take the time to look at the pictures and make sure the flash doesn't illuminate anything that's not supposed to be illuminated.

Step4
Relax. Of all the grand decisions and things that have to be accomplished for the wedding day, choosing underwear is sort of down on the list. There is no wrong choice. Once you've chosen your underwear or changes of underwear if you are going with a different option for the wedding night, wash them as instructed on the label. This will help soften and freshen them. Your body will be glad you did!

Now you KNOW I will have a comment or two, right? First of all, if someone has to actually TELL you not to wear black panties under your white dress----- well there are more problems than wedding undies! And "try them on?" That just sort of skeeves me out, try them on indeed. If you are considering between a couple pair, splurge and buy both---- it isn't like you won't have the opportunity to wear them! Do you really want to wonder how many brides before you have tried those babies on? I didn't think so!

The entire Step Two was amusing to me----------- the author must be a sweet something that likes to hedge her bets and couch her words. What she means to say is that you are going to be a sweaty mess by the time you are ready to come out of your dress. Plan accordingly!

On to Step 3. When you put on your undie choices and take a photo of yourself in your dress, using a flash, please call me. Really. Day or night, it doesn't matter!!!! This has got to be funny as anything! Frankly, I think unless your dress is something out of a Pussycat Dolls video, I think your undies probably won't show. Again, I could be surprised on your wedding day!

Yes, as step 4 says, do relax. And, I personally think there IS one rule.......... granny panties need not apply!
