I am the most chill...

...bride ever. I AM the most chill bride ever. I am the most chill bride ever. I am the most chill bride ever with a totally fucked up wedding dress that isn't what I asked for that's costing me a million dollars. I am the most chill bride ever. It's just a dress. I am the most chill bride ever. I am the most chill bride ever. i am the most chill bride ever. The dress is not the most important thing, even if I look like a color blind dork. I am the most chill bride ever. I am the most chill bride ever.

The lace the goes over the satin matieral for the skirt has pinks and blues in it. It was supposed to be tea-dyed to take the colors down. She showed me a tea-dyed sample and it was perfect. She did not tea-dye the lace before she attached it to the skirt. My skirt is sage green with pink and blue over it, and the top is amber. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the most chill bride ever. I am the most chill bride ever.

And I have to go back to work.

Repeat as needed. You are exceedngly chill and will be a perfect bride. Shalom...

She was thinking "tie-dyed" instead of 'tea-dyed."

You gotta admit, "tie-dyed" is totally rad and liberal.

I'm sorry.
Went through this with my daughter 5 years ago and I know how important it is.
You would not believe how many things went wrong with her wedding.
I won't put the whole list here, but the important thing is we finally just said "damn the torpedos", this is supposed to be fun and goddammit we're gonna have fun.
And we did.
The things aren't that important. Really.
The people are.
That's the part you'll remember.
Now go out there and rip it up!
:loveya:
on edit: By "rip it up", I meant have a good time, not...you know...the dress.
;-)

"A hundred years from now, it won't make a bit of difference"...

Boy, how many times have I heard that?
And she was right.
100 years later I don't remember ANY of it.

Remain Calme Rene' sending good vibes and karma your way.
:loveya:

...actually, it's not that bad. I was just shocked at first because it's not what I asked for or was expecting. But the colors don't actually clash, and I just freaked out. It's all good.

Thanks again.

I literally had monkey's howling at my wedding which was not planned. This was in Oakland not some exotic place. I initially freaked because I thought everyone was laughing at me. I wondered if my dress had split or my husband's pants. I just laughed, took it in stride, and noone forgot my wedding. ;-) Just have a good time and enjoy. All this stuff just doesn't matter. It's your and your hubby's enjoyment that do.

Last summer my father decided to throw out my wedding dress without asking me. It had been hanging on a rack in his basement for, well, like 17 years. He didn't throw out my blue polyestor prom dress, or my brownie uniform, but someone thought it was cool to throw out my wedding dress. I thought maybe he was pissed he shelled the bucks for the wedding and now - well, you know the story.

He said, if you get married again you can buy a new one. I felt like saying, yeah well if I get married again it will be in Vermont and you're not fucking invited.

But I didn't. Instead I demanded reperation. And I made him buy me a new VCR. A double deck VCR.

this should help.

...unless the howls of laughter and tears running down your face convince someone you've lost it...

I'm sorry, I'm not hip with the lingo....

Here is a true story, Rene. My wife planned for her wedding all of her life, long before I ever came into the picture. She shopped for her dress for a year, did up her hair, and had someone do her makeup.

Don't ever tell her this, but it didn't matter. I thought she was the most beautiful person I had ever met BEFORE she put all of that stuff on. And I KNOW (because I talked to him) that your fiance feels the same way.

It rained the day I got married. I had a cold. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Relax and enjoy yourself. And if that doesn't work, well, that's why God created Valium!
