My partner and I are getting married in September, we've been together almost 4 years and aren't really doing things traditionally, although we've discussed marriage plenty we just decided to get it done ASAP about a week ago and everything's booked and paid for. The wedding itself will be a registry office deal which I'm very happy with, and I'm happy with the timeline of everything.

My issue is I don't know what to wear, my options feel like full wedding dress or t-shirt and jeans. I'm generally a bit uncomfortable with how I look and the idea of dressing up to any degree makes me feel ridiculous, and yet I really really want to *feel* special on the day, I also think it signals to my partner that he's special too because I've put in the effort. He's happy to match whatever energy I want to bring and his main focus is that I feel special too, I just feel stupid for wanting to?

Has anyone else felt like this? I don't want to feel like I'm playing dress up and I've truly never seen a single wedding dress I thought looked good (on hangers, on other people they look gorgeous) but I certainly can't picture myself in one or even any form of nice dress, separates or jumpsuit etc.

EDIT: Thank you all for your responses! Lots of great options to look at and the overwhelming consensus is "if not now, when?" which I'm fully taking on board. Hope everyone with their own upcoming special day feels absolutely amazing!
