Need Advice On A Wedding Dress

I put a deposit on a wedding dress at davids bridal but due to a change in plans I went and eloped at the beach 2 weeks ago but now Im stuck with this dress. MY question is... Should I cancel the dress and loose $131.00. Or pay for the dress and save it for my big wedding in 2-3 years. I just see so many other dresses I like!

My question is...do you like it enough to wear it in a few years??? it doesn`t sound to me like this is your dream dress. And what are the chances that you never do have the "real wedding"? honestly...it would be really hard for me to elope and then a few years later have the real deal. And would not think much of it because i would already be married. And you don`t know what your life will be like in a few years....you may not be able to have a real wedding depending on diffferent situations you might be in (financial or kids or if you are even still married then...i hope so=). This is what i would probably do......if the davids bridal you purchased your dress at is like the ones that i am familiar with you probably had to pay in full to order the dress. And if that is the case i would still accept the dress when ready but would try to sell it. Getting a little money back is better than losing it all. But you would also need to consider that you probably won`t be able to find a dress for only $130.00 in a few years...if you truely do love the dress than keep it.....if you are not able to have the wedding in a few years then you can sell it too. I hope this helps you a little bit. Good luck.
