well... i've been planning and planning along. it's approximately 53 days until the wedding (yay!)
sometimes i get nauseous thinking about how much weddings cost (or how much you're expected to spend...?) people are starving and i'm spending how much on chairs? but it's a celebration that only happens once, and i'm glad to honor the people who have been important parts of our lives.
my woe of today, however, deals with the lovely ladies who are my bridesmaids. earlier this year i went to a wedding show with risa and mrs. annie... and we watched a show with wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses... and i found one i LOVED. but i didn't know who made the dress or where to find it, but as i began my online search for the perfect dress, i found it on the first website i looked at... and then i knew it was fate. so i asked my girls to get them.
however... i felt guilty asking them to spend $180 + tax + shipping fees... so we looked online until we found a website with the best deal.
little did we KNOW why it was such a "great deal". My little sister just got hers in and i began to examine it. it was... the wrong color (and we even spoke to someone from the website about ordering the right color...) it was a different fabric. the straps... didn't look right. wait... there was no tag... it was shipped from china with no return information... there was no jewel on the neckline... and the rouching was all wrong. then (why it took so long to realize, i'm not sure) but it hit me. it's a knock off. i compared it to leslye's (who managed to get an original) and it is most certainly wrong.
so now, what do i do? 2 girls have real ones. 4 girls have knock offs. they should be refunded! it's not right that they advertised for the real thing, and sent a fake. they may not match (although they're all going to send theirs to me so i can see how off they are). but i'm quite frustrated. there's not really time to get all real ones... and i can't ask them to all spend more anyways.
ugh. uuuuugh. *mean bridezilla noises*
the end.

Oh my. Oh Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could stagger the 'real' dresses? Or put them at either end? Like you MEANT to do it?
Ugh is right!
i think we should do leslye's idea- just dye them purple- haha. just kidding. it's gonna work out. i mailed mine. everyone's eyes will be on you anyways...
ReplyDeleteI think that definitely fits into the justified rage category rather than a bridezilla one. The staggering idea is pretty good!
