My First Freak-Out

The whole planning process for me and Lewis has been relatively stress-free. Yesterday, however, was a different story. I think I can honestly say I had my first moment of "freak out".

I called the Bridal Shop where I ordered my wedding dress to check on getting a color swatch from the bridesmaids dresses so we could match the guys ties. At the end of the conversation, I just happened to ask what the status of my wedding dress order was. The girl checked her computer and told me it was scheduled to deliver the first week of SEPTEMBER. Huh??? What did she say?? I told her politely that I had paid for a rush charge in order for my dress to arrive by end of July. After further research, she found the "rush charge code" had not been properly entered into the system, and it was too late to rush the dress. It is now scheduled to arrive the first week of September. Oh nooooooooooooo........ !!!!!!!

She did refund the rush charge I paid...but that doesn't do me any good. I still have to buy a veil.... which typically you get after you buy a dress. How can I try on veils with a dress that I don't have yet? Oh...and let's not forget that the dress will need alterations. There will be a minimum of two fittings, barring the seamstress gets the alterations perfect the first time.

Yep.... a moment of freak-out. Plain and simple. I finally realized there is nothing I can do to change the current situation, so no sense in worrying about it now. I guess now matter how well you plan, something is going to go wrong. I just didn't think it would be the wedding dress!!
