Seriously though... everyone freaks out when someone screws something up for them... but my question is always "well where were YOU on that? why didn't you check up on the dress when they didn't call you when they were supposed to?"
::shrugs::
BUT... hold that thought... i'll come back to that in a minute :)
First, it's time for some recent happenings :)
Keith and I have recently acquired some bathroom decor (yay!) from my parents that has never been used before (price tags still on :D )... but not only THAT... one of my mother's co-workers asked her if she knew anyone who needed a dining room set... and she told them about keith and i getting married. so NOW... we're getting a looks-like-new black lacquer finish dining table, 6 chairs and a curio :D
yay!!!
Next order of business...
I custom ordered a slip from etsy.com for underneath my dress and its FINISHED!!! ...which means i can now officially get my dress fitted!!!!!!! wooooo!
Here's what it looks like (take a good gander cause this'll be the last time you see it :D ;) ):
(click photo to enlarge since its being cut-off for some reason... and then when you're finished, hit your back button)so yes... im *very* excited about it :) HOPEFULLY when i get it, it works JUST right... if not, the seller im working with is amazing enough to want to fix it :D
and BECAUSE she's so brilliantly amazing... I'm having her custom make me a jacket that i feel in love with (on etsy.com once again), but that seller wasn't so fond of working with me on a custom order. ::oh weeeeelll:: her loss. haha!
NOW... back to the headlining story.
Remember how Alfred Angelo gave me the run around a few months back with Bridesmaid dresses?
Time for round 2!
Mens Warehouse.
So there's a section of the website I'm supposed to be able to log into to track the groomsmen's progress. Well i tried to log in..... and low and behold... it wouldn't work.
so i called the MW in lancaster and the dude had NO flippin clue what i was talking about. i tried to explain it to him and he told me in his X number of years working there he had NEVER heard of such a thing. (thats what you get when you let an old dude work at a store... they know nothing of technology). he kept insisting that i could just call the store and ask what i needed to know and they would look it up and i tried to explain to him that i wanted to be able to TRACK them. myself. at my own free will.
he continued to insist on the call.
i said thank you, hung up, and called the store we were at in whitehall where keith lives.
they fixed the problem for me.
so i logged in TODAY.
after logging in today, im glad i pushed for the online deal to be fixed because there were problems that i would have NEVER ever known about until the 3 days before the wedding when the boys went to pick up their tuxes... and of course by then it would be too late to fix anything.
-Keith: his order was fine.
-Daniel: his order was fine.
-John: his order was fine.
-Tio Charlie: Wrong colored vest. They gave him the same color as the groomsmen... he needs
the same color as the best man.
-Dad: Spelled his name Eseguiel rather than Esequiel. Why is that such a big deal? I mean its
NOT really... but i can see that being a frustrating 5 or 10 minutes when they try to look
up his name in the computer and can't find it.
-Grandpa: Spelled HIS last name wrong. Oguendo rather than Oquendo... do my Q's look like
G's or something when i write them out??????
-Kyle: No pocket square included. ... well get back to that in a minute.
-Will: HIS last name spelled wrong. Greenawait rather than Greenawalt.
-Matthew: He should have the same attire as the groomsmen... NOT... keith....... although we'll
get back to THAT in a minute too...
-Keith's Dad: order was fine
-Keith's Grandpa: his order was fine.
...now she tells me that the pocket squares are EXTRA??? ..they failed to mention that in the store when i included them in the package. We may or may not be keeping those. Depends on what happens after i talk to my mother about those vs. boutonnieres.
...and as far as matthew goes... i TOLD them in the store that he should be the same as the groomsmen............so they dropped the ball there...... but after i told her and hung up, it occured to me that... maybe its SUPPOSED to be like that? i mean... if the flower girl is supposed to mimic the bride...... why wouldn't the ring bearer mimic the groom? i dunno... im gonna have to chew that one over for a bit.
haha
SOOOO...
long story short.
DO NOT EVER depend on the fact that other people have their shiz together.... cause chances are.... they most certainly don't.
If i hadn't been annoyingly on top of the dresses... and now the tuxes... we could have had several bridezilla inducing stressful moments that were thankfully avoided because i stayed on top of everything!!! :)
so... everything is going pretty well so far :D
oh yeah and
today marks...
100 days till our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
