For those of you who have been IMing me, here are the updates on the wedding plans:
First of all, working with David's Bridal has been nothing less than a nightmare. They ordered the wrong dresses initially, wouldn't replace them, and ordered the wrong sizes on one of my bridesmaids (who is very sensitive to her weight... it was ordered too small of course.) Thank GOD we ordered them really early though. We are waiting for the last one to get back in, and then we are done dealing with those people. Stay away from David's Bridal... that's about the best advice that I can give to anyone about this...
Flowers are turning out to be more expensive than I had planned. I told our florist $500 MAX... she comes back with a quote for damn near $600, and that doens't even include ANY arrangements for the tables or anything... not good.. and we are using cheap flowers. Lisianthus and carnations.....
Invitations are all stuffed and ready to go. We are having my bridal shower, and an invitation addressing party on June 24th. I will be glad to have those out and about and done with.
I went for my first wedding gown fitting last week Thursday. That was really fun. I feel as if I am jammed into a corset when I have my dress on, but it's worth it completely and totally and I am in love with my dress.
My aunt is supposed to do our hair and makeup, but lately she has been really flaky, and it's starting to freak me out a little bit. I am beginning to wonder if she is going to show up at all.... I may need to hire someone else to do the job!
Our honeymoon is booked. We are staying at the Vacation Village at Weston near Ft Lauderdale Florida.
So that's an update for ya!
Only 80 some odd days now!
Oh yes, and finally, the dreaded wedding coordinator.
We are getting married at the local art museum, and having our reception too. The woman won't get back with me, doesn't remember our names, and can't even spell mine properly, and is, in general, a complete BEEYATCH to work with... I'd like to fire her, but her manager has begged me to give her another chance... I absolutely hate her, and am afraid she is going to ruin my day....

David's bridal was a JOKE!!!!! They dyed the shoes wrong, and when I went to pick them up a 2nd time (for me and the others) they were the wrong AGAIN!!!!! I hate them! They were supposed to be pearl pink...with is very very light pink, first they didn't dye the whole shoe??..HELLO???? then they re-dyed it and it was coral...VERY DARK orange. I was complaining to the manager and she said well they say pearl pink. I dragged her to alterations where my dress was, and said now tell me....are these pearl pink...she said oh and grabbed all the shoes in the correct sizes and dyed them , finally they got them right. I couldn't believe the manager would argue with a customer.
