Wendy, thanks so much for the excellent summary!!! Very helpful! I can't wait to leave for our wedding... i'm so excited/stressed, i just want to fast forward the next few weeks. i have recently had a bit of remorse about my dress (my fiance's aunt made it for me and i HATE IT), so i've had the added stress of looking for a new dress that doesn't require that many alterations. thankfully found something tonight that fit beautifully, just needed shortening.
