Okay so the wedding plans have been pretty easy actually. Everything has pretty much just fallen into place. And of course we were talking about this the other day so something had to happen to put us in our places.
We ordered the bridesmaid dresses at the beginning of January so that they would have plenty of time to get here. (most dress manufacturers are in china and it was the chinese new year like all of january so we needed to order them on a special 4 week rush). Anyway, Latter-day Bride was supposed to call me the first week of February to tell me I could come pick them up...finally the second week I called them to find out if we had our dresses yet, they said they were and had been there for a few days. That should have tipped me off right there.
So on Presidents day, Mom, Holly, and I went to pick them up. I gave the sales girl my name at the front desk and waited for them to bring the dresses out. When they did, I about threw up! The dresses were Latte (like a gray-ish color). THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CHOCOLATE BROWN!!!! So I tell the girl this and she just acts like "oh well these are your dresses." So I flipped out and told her she had two weeks to fix this mistake and it better be fixed! She leaves me in tears in the lobby and comes back like 10 minutes later telling me that they were talking to the manufacturer in China and that they could get the dresses to us on March 3rd at the latest. (The wedding is on March 6th!) So after being reassured and apologized to for another 30 minutes we left the store, with really only a hope that we will have the correct dresses by the wedding. How can a mistake like that happen you ask? I've asked the same thing. The only thing that anybody could come up with, is that the girl who ordered our dresses was new and assumed that she knew the color name of the dress we wanted. The funny thing was, was that we tried on the floor model and they were EXACTLY what we wanted...style and colors! So how you can mess that up is really beyond me. So here I sit with basically one week til the wedding and a horrible feeling we'll end up wearing ugly gray dresses that don't even match the rest of the wedding colors!! This is what I do know...if and when I get married I'm just going to elope. No one will know I'm getting married and I'll just show up with a ring on my finger!
