(thank you, mom, for the worrying gene you passed along to me!)

the other biggie is that i bought a bunch of OOT stuff a LONG time ago, and apparently underestimated how much i would need, since suddenly EVERYONE is coming. i can fix not having enough actual bags by buying different, better ones for the bridal party. but all the other stuff requires a bunch of running around ... ugh!
I am in the same boat as you with my dress. They told me mid to late marcha and um.. hello? I called and the woman was like oh yeah it should be in any day now. I was remaining calm but I ordered it and put deposit down on it in the shop on August 14th. WTF?? So i am going to call again tomorrow and express my concern. I am also freakign out that it will need many alterations. I just keep telling me that they deal with this all the time...

yeah i didn't order mine as early as you did (nov. 1st for me) ... it's just adding the lateness to the poor reviews, plus i know that they ordered 2 sizes bigger than what i had on that day just because the back wouldn't zipper (about 2 inches at the top!). i didn't think that warranted 2 sizes, when i told them i was losing weight! i am at least 15 lbs. lighter than i was when i ordered it. i'm afraid alterations are going to be a b*tch because the whole top is all beaded, and we all know may/june is the busiest wedding season! they don't seem concerned at all about when my dress is coming in ... told me it was totally normal and i would have plenty of time for alterations ... just hope they are right! funniest thing of all is that i lied and told them my wedding date was the 8th, not 28th, so what the heck are they waiting for? half of the may BDW brides have had all their fittings already!

Where did you order from ? I'm so sorry that this adds up to your stress ! But if it can comfort you a little, alterations might not be that difficult. You have to find a good seamstress, somebody that is recommended to you. Best bet, call the top-notch salons of your area and ask them where they would send their bride (if they don't have their own seamstress). Mine was recommended by my salon. She told me she needed no more than 2 weeks and I have my next appointment on April 11th (I leave on April 28th...). She says she'll have ample time, and it leaves me some time to shed a few more pounds...

I dropped nother size BTW :) Today I went shopping (was looking for a dress for the welcome cocktail, ended up with a dress for work) but it was a size 8 ! Yeah !!!

You better get on the ball girl! Or you may be walking down the isle in your skivies!!!


OMG Casey, your BD teasers are HOT!!!


So I saw 47 days on my ticker the other day and sorta wigged a bit. I can't believe in like 6 weeks I'll be married. It seriously feels like last week we decided on Bermuda!

I have my bachelorette get together tomorrow night. Sunday is my hair trial! Tomorrow we're also going to Mac and doing some makeup trials.

I can't believe its going by so fast!!
