Next up: The Shower

Ok, t minus, uhhh, yea. So, I need to get shower invites out, like, now! I have a roll of 41 cent stamps that are valid until May something (I think the 13th or 14th), so they must leave my house before then. Actually, they need to leave the house now since the shower is at the end of May. Nice to give people a little notice you know. Will post pics of the invite later.

Anywho, supposedly dresses are in. Dresses meaning bridesmaids and mine. We'll see how they turned out!

I've gotten pretty far. I've set up my 4 month schedule and started a preliminary timeline for the "day of". Slightly tight, but what day isn't? Well, it's only tight because of multiple outfit changes.

What's major left? The invitations. How original. I'm always procrastinating with invitations couldn't you tell?

Dresses and other stuff

Sooooo, I went through some drama regarding Saks and my shoes. They charged me like 3 times for the shoes. First, I went to the store and ordered them because they didn't have my size. The shoes come in and are a half size bigger than what I ordered. So, perturbed, I called them to let them know they sent me the wrong size. The dude asks me like 5 times, are you sure you ordered a 36 and not a 36 1/2. Uh, yes. 5 times yes, I ordered a 36. Then he said, ok, drop off the wrong size and I'll order you the right one and have it in the store. So, I drop off the wrong size shoes and of course, they didn't have my size in yet. A few days later, yes, they got my shoes in. So I drop by to pick them up. I also notice on my credit card they charged me twice. So I asked and 30 minutes later, they say, call my manager tomorrow. WTF. So, the next day, I receive a package in the mail from Saks with the freaking shoes! Somehow none of the sales people talk to each other, so I have to end up going back to the freaking store to return the shoes they shipped me. Total drama! I guess that's why I never bought anything at Saks.

I finally go to the outlets at Woodbury Commons, even though I was given a one hour limit (we were on the way to Boston and didn't want to hit rush hour traffic). Success! I got a pair of flat Fendi shoes (these replace the Ferragamo's I wanted) and 2 Betsey Johnson dresses.

This one is for the Rehearsal Dinner:

I totally can't wait to wear them!

Momma, being the jewelry dealer that she is, ordered my diamond wedding band:


That's it for now!
