Wedding Stuff

So, after not saying anything for a while, I finally have something:

I've got my wedding dress! It's in my possession and hanging very prettily in my Aunt's closet.

So when the store (whom I won't name) called me, I immediately got butterflies in my stomach. When I have a bad experience with something, I resolve it quickly and then I'm done. I never want to have any experience with that person/business/thing again. If I do, I get massive anxiety and get a sick stomach for days. In this case, after my unfortunate confrontation with the store, I had to go back and actually pick up my dress. I had a nauseous stomach for days till we picked it up.

But Aunt Moe went with me to pick up the dress. We walk in, I try on the dress, and then the lady at the counter asks if we'll leave it there or take it with us. The store has a policy to allow a wedding dress to stay there for free until the day of the wedding. Moe thinks this is great idea that maybe I should consider.

No. Absolutely not. The idea of walking back into that store just makes my stomach flip. I can't do it. I wouldn't be able to handle sitting here for months and wondering if they were going to lose my dress, if it would get damaged somehow. I know where my dress is. I know that only Moe or myself will actually ever touch the dress until Wedding day. I know that if I feel the need to try it on, I can any time I want.

So I have my dress. Hopefully that will be the only time I could be considered a somewhat bitchy bride, because I don't want to be that bride. But there are certain things that I can't do, and that's one of them.

My dress is BEAUTIFUL! I love it. It's very elegant and lovely. BUT, I've lost enough weight for it to be too big already! Yikes! I know most brides get all hyped up about losing weight, but I'm not too concerned with weight. I'd like to become leaner, yes, but weight is just a number. So hopefully I don't get too much smaller, to the point that alterations will be difficult. But we'll see.
