To start out the day .... I was all over the place with work knowing that my second fitting was lastnight and I couldn't wait to see my dress. I got an email from my BFF who said she was coming with me to go see my dress. I was super pysched since only an hr before she wasn't going to be able to make it. Jay was going back and forth with her and well he offered to take her son while we went.. YAY!!! At this point I was jumping for joy that she was able to come .... I left work early ran all the way home picked her up and we were on our way... (Now mind you I work 47 miles from home and the dress shop that my dress was at is only about 20 miles from work.. so in total I went 184 miles for a complete day) But I didn't care I was driving all over the state Carrie was coming with me!!!
Soooo anyway we went to the dress shop she was sooo exicted and I was just excited she was with me. I put my dress on and Carrie was completely teary eyed... needless to say I ended up balling because I am emotional wreck anyway when it comes to seeing anyone emotional. MY dress on the other hand... the bustle was all wrong .... I had to fight with some chick I had never seen before telling me that it was done the way I approved at teh first fitting.. it was horrible I had shelf ass with weird bunching on it... finally Carrie churped in and said "well she is the bride and she doesn't like it, this is her dress".. LOL... I giggled to myself... but this chick just was rude the whole time. After we had fixed the problems I went over to the jewelery and was trying stuff out since I have to pick anything yet... This chick yet again comes over and says to me "Your playing now?" WTF!! Yes!!! Anyway... I am just done sooo I change and get out of the place.... All I want is a Margarita at this point. We go out to dinner and grab a drink... I felt better venting and talking about all the wedding stuff with Carrie. Well the bill comes and before the waitress even is at our table I hurry to whip out my cc to pay for dinner... she quickly goes away and Carrie looks at me and tells me I shouldn't have done that... NOW here is my big part...
Carrie told me from day one she was sooo excited for me but she being a single mom would not be able to make it to ... I totally understood and she has helped me through everything no matter what it was and I have bounced everything off her. She would have loved to go and be in Jamaica for me but it wasn't in the cards.
So anyway I paid for dinner... and I start to cry.... I thank her for coming today because it was sooo important for her to be with me to see my dress because she is my "family" and I love her to death. She needed to see my in my dress before the wedding. Carrie starts to cry and tells me to stop... as I am winding down in mess in the middle of the resturant.. she smiles and says.. "I"M COMING TO JAMAICA SILLY, NOW STOP BEING SAD!" I'm floored to the point that I can't even move or speak. OMG she is coming to Jamaica No friggin way ... Carrie is coming to Jamaica!!!! I jump over from the other side of the table and hug her and cry the best happy cry I could.. next thing you know the manager comes over and asks if everything is alright?? We feel horribly stupid for being silly in the middle of a 99 but who cares.
So in the end ... I LOVE my BFF .. and my wedding is now complete... who cares if I ended up with no BM's and people bagged us... CARRIE is coming!!!
