I went to get my dress again last night. This time I brought my sister and my mom with me. This time around, the woman who designed the bustle was there. I absolutely love this woman. She is so sweet, and so very good at her job. When we arrived, she already had the bustle on the dress, so when I put it on we could see that it was correct right away. Apparently the other two ladies that helped us the other day just couldn't figure out how to read the map that showed them how to do the bustle. It's ok, it's a complicated bustle and I'm not upset that we had to go back anymore. The woman showed my mom and sister how to do the bustle, and then she let them take it down and do it themselves. The act of getting the buttons and loops together isn't that difficult, the most difficult part is all of the tucking they have to do. My train is so large, to put it up makes it look like a droopy mess unless you tuck all of the extra material into the bustle. Don't know if that really makes sense to anyone
but I don't have milk in my house so I wasn't able to have coffee (and I still don't have a car since Eddie's truck broke down a while ago so I can't get myself milk...) so I'm probably not thinking too clearly right now.
Ugh, pictures. I had my sister take a couple of pictures with her phone. I had taken my camera with me (which has a nice "beauty shot" setting that makes you look great even without make up on!) but I couldn't find my camera when we got to the store. When I pulled into my driveway when I got home, I saw the camera laying on the ground. Guess I dropped it....
So anyway, it was super busy at work yesterday, and I went straight from work to the shop. My mom and sister did the same thing, but they didn't have to be in any pictures. So just be nice with the comments, I know no one would say like "Oh ew Jules you look horrible"
but I still don't want anyone thinking that! hahaha I need coffee.
Sorry for the quality. We'll have gorgeous dress pictures in 27 days.
The back before the bustle. Don't know why this one is so tiny.
Bustled.
Ugh. The front with the bustle up.
I tried sitting in the dress with the bustle up. Hahaha oh it's going to be so much fun at the wedding. I know this pictures is ridiculous I just think it's so funny.
So all in all I'm thrilled with my dress. I love the bustle and I'm glad it's done and I don't have to think about it. On Friday my sister and mom and I will be spending the day baking cookies and watching Christmas movies. We're also going to be doing all of the wedding stuff that's left. We have to fold the place cards, cut the menus, print the labels for the welcome bags, put the labels on the welcome bags and fill the bags and fill out the tags for the welcome bags. Hopefully we'll get everything done. That'd be great!
Also, last Friday we got a call from our DJ!
In the message he said he's DJ Steve. I looked him up on the boards, and if it's the same person I read about it seems that we got a good DJ. I'm really excited!!! He sent us some sheets to fill out, so we'll get those done soon, hopefully. Also, my final payment was due to Disney on Saturday. I asked them for the past 2 weeks for my final payment amount. They said they were working on it. I still haven't received anything from them! Hopefully I don't get in trouble for the payment being late..I don't know what else I could've done though..I don't know how much to pay!
I can't believe we're getting so close! I'm so excited!!!!
Sorry, tmi.
