The first appearance of "Bridezilla"

My dress finally came in after many months of waiting. I got to go up and try it on and it fit perfectly. It only needed a few minor alterations on the top. My alterations were scheduled for two days later in order to get them finished on time for the wedding.

Alteration day came and I woke up feeling pretty anxious to go get my dress measured and ready to go. On my way to work Annie decided to chew up my wedding shoes. After almost a year of having her, she has NEVER even touched a pair of our shoes. On this day, she went for the gold. So, I didnt have any shoes to wear to my alteration appointment. Ok, well they were cheap enough so I can eventually forgive her and get new shoes :)

That afternoon, while getting ready to go to my alteration appointment, I got a call from the bridal shop. They were cancelling my appointment because they had to send my dress back to China. "Excuse me?" Apparently there was a flaw in the back of the dress that they couldnt fix. When I originally tried it on, it was perfect. So, I personally feel that the dress shop did something to it after I left and had to cover up. After that back and forth call trying to figure out what happened, I broke down.

It was not the most pleasant day to be around me :) I had a hard time being convinced that everything was going to be alright and that a new dress would only be here in 2 to 3 weeks. I need to realize that mistakes happen and that they are doing everything they can to help me and not stress out. Its hard not to think that my perfect dress is now being sent back and I dont know when a new one will arrive. As hard as it is, nothing is more important than the day spent marrying the love of your life :) Focusing on us is all that matters and I know that the day will be absolutely perfect.
