1. Do you think “being yourself” on a big occasion like a wedding is more about the clothes you wear, the way you act, or the people you’re with? Can a person be completely themselves while also honoring family expectations?

2. In your opinion, should sentimental value outweigh personal preference when making a once-in-a-lifetime choice? Why or why not?

3. Christy’s mother says she wants to give her daughter something because she “can’t afford to pay for the wedding.” The dress becomes a form of contribution. Do you think financial limitations sometimes make gifts more meaningful, or can they add pressure to a relationship? How do you balance gratitude with the need to make your own choices?

4. Do you think it’s more important for a wedding dress to be timeless and universal, or to reflect the unique personality of the person wearing it? Can a dress do both?
