If I dont wear my glasses I wont be making it down the aisle safely. My glasses are part of me and will be a part of me on my wedding day! xx
CommentAuthorMrs Daltry
i only wear mine as im short sighted,so things like reading and focusing would be difficult without them,i wont bewearing them as i walk down the aisle but i am packing them just in case
CommentAuthorMelly
If i dont wear my glasses, all i can see out of my right i is my nose, because of the shape of my cornea. I certainly wont be going anywhere without them.
I have to pay over £500 for my glasses every year, i dont get any help towards them. I have to have my right lens thinned.
Have you tried wearing thick frames, as then the thickness of your lenses arent as noticeable. xx
CommentAuthoralibum
can all you ladies not just remove your specs for some of the photos? you will all look gorgeous either way :)
CommentAuthorMrsSandiBillany
It all depends on how my eyes are by then, they seem to be getting worse quickly. If i can still see without them (i only wear them because i have an astigmatism in my right eye so my left eye is overcompensating and i get headaches) then i'll not bother for the day and photo's and just put them on when my head starts hurting. If not i'll just wear my 'nice' glasses (i have 3 pairs lmao)
Ooh, get Dame Edna here! Three pairs, I dunno.. :P
CommentAuthorMrsSandiBillany
HAHA.... i only wear one of them though, ever! I only have three pairs because the 2 new ones were BOGOF and i have an old pair with the same prescription (because i couldn't afford new glasses at the time :()
CommentAuthorflatellie
My glasses are fab, I am keeping them on the whole day! I love them! xx
CommentAuthorMelly
Same here Flatellie!! I love mine, and i dont look right without them. I wouldnt dream of not wearing them.
All i wanted as a child was glasses, all of my family wore them but me. I got myself convinced at one point that i was adopted as i didnt wear them. xx
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Looks like I'm wearing mine then! Do you think I should get some to match our colour scheme? (Due opticians soon- not just randomly buying glasses! Plus I want reactions for the honeymoon anyway...)

CommentAuthorMelly
You could if you want. You need to remember thou, they need to be suitable for the rest of the time, you'll be wearing them. Mine are black and pink, with flowers on the legs, i normally go for something different. I'll be getting some new ones before the wedding, as i have to replace them every july. ( my prescription always changes so i need to re new them.) xx
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
At the mo I have a pair with dark blue frames and a pair with brown frames- I think a dark purple pair will add something to the collection! Unless they have dark purple with bits of yellow...

CommentAuthorMel D
I actually really like my glasses, and very rarely wear my contacts (only worn them once so far this year) but I am going to wear the contacts for the day. I'll have to start wearing them regularly on the run up so that my eyes are used to them again as I'll have them in for a lot longer than if I put them in now which is usually just for a night out.

I should wear glasses, but probably wont. I'm short sighted, but not so blind i wont know who i'm marrying! I thought of maybe starting to wear contacts, but usually i do ok going out without glasses...
CommentAuthorjoey86
Both me and h2b wear glasses and will be on our wedding day! I can't see a thing without my glasses - people's faces are just a blur with dark holes for eyes (which is really freaky!), so don't want to be walking down the aisle and not recognise anyone!
Plus I've worn glasses for about ten years and I look a bit strange without them now lol. Contact lenses not an option - have a weird thing about eyes. I fear the opticians like others fear the dentist! x
If you're really that vein and dont want to be seeing double then you'd wear contacts.."wrong" or not!
CommentAuthorsoon 2B Mrs Sweeting
i have worn my glasses since i was 8 so i will be wearing them for my wedding, i feel more confident wearing them anyway!! good point about make-up, never thought of that!!!
CommentAuthorGem1102
I've worn glasses since I was 6. I think I look strange without them and no-one knows me without them so not wearing them would be weird! I'll be wearing them with pride on my wedding day. I am due a new pair so may splash out on some new ones for the wedding, maybe pink to go with my colour scheme. xx
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
I will have my contact lenses in. I wear glasses most of the time when working but outside of work and nights out i dont so i figured i wouldn't on my big day
Can't really blame me in wearing my contacts as if i just left my glasses off completely i wouldn't be able to read what i am signing. I am long sighted lol! x

i wear contacts but if I hadnt worn them I would have been ok about wearing my glasses. A lot of brides dont have much choice and so wear them anyways, just check they go with the dress and you can accessorise them and make them part of your outfit.

I'm a glasses wearer but will have contacts for the wedding. If you wear them all of the time anyway then just wear them for your wedding. You want to look like you for the pics. And also, if i were to take mine off for the photos i'd be really squinty! :/
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
I thought I would be squeamish about contacts before i got them but i actually like wearing them and to be honest after the first couple of times you don't even notice that you have anything in
Just don't do what I did and go on the p*ss and then wake up thinking you are cured cuz you forgot to take them out the night before

pmsl! I wanted to get laser eye surgery but it's soooo expensive! It'd cost more then our wedding venue - H2B said it wasn't really a 'wedding expense'! shame. I'm gunna put a note in my suitcase - take contacts out! then I won't have the afore mentioned problem! :) (hopefully).
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
hee hee you will be fine! I wear mine all day and remember now so its not too bad. Plus i dont want to be excessively induced with alcohol on my wedding night so I doubt that will happen! x

My friend regrets not wearing hers as she can't wear contacts so ended up missing half the day as she couldn't see things properly and look like she was squinting on all the photos. It also looked nothing like her as we are all so used to seeing her with them on and I think they are a part of her.
CommentAuthorx ashlil x
i think if you dont want to wear contacts, def wear your glasses. you want to remember the best day of your life and as jo has said, you'll be squinting in all the photos x
CommentAuthorMrs Steer
i cant decide, i wear glasses all the time, i can wear contact lenses. But i feel more comfy in my glasses. Plus also i will have false nails on and putting contacts in will be a pig. Taking them out to swap for glasses in the evening without ruining my make up will also not be easy xx

I'll be wearing contact lenses for the wedding, but we've got a room in the hotel, so I can always go put my specs on later if need be.

I wear my glasses every day and contacts when going out so I'll be wearing my contacts on the day. I love my glasses but don't think I'd want them on my wedding day...although, my friend wore hers and it didn't make any difference. I think some people look weird when they take their specs off so it depends on how you feel in them...

CommentAuthorEcoFreak
It depends on your prescription strength. At the moment I only wear my glasses for driving and taking lecture notes (short sighted) so I would probably go without. But as it's a few years to our day my eyes will probably be worse and I will end up wearing them :) If you need them you could get a special wedding pair - my friend always calls glasses "jewellery for your face" so maybe make the most of them? xx
