The wedding is next month!

I was starting to get a bit stressed thinking the wedding is next month, so I took Friday off work and got a good amount of wedding related things done. My mom and I made a trip to David's Bridal. After my previous trip to Bride Beautiful being a complete disaster, I was fearing walking into David's. Taking a day off and visiting on a weekday is the way to do it. There was only one other bride to be in the whole store trying on dresses. I had the whole shoe section to myself and a person to help me. So, I found shoes, a bra, a purse and a garter. We then headed to New Natalie's Bridal to try my dress on. After four months of waiting, my dress had finally arrived. So, the lady at New Natalie's helped me into my dress. I asked if she had zipped me up, and she said yes. The dress then fell off me. It's probably three sizes too big. Seriously???? Why even bother to measure me if you are going to order the dress three sizes too big? So, now I start my fittings this weekend. I was told alterations take 6 weeks. Hooray! So I won't really know what my dress looks like on until 2 weeks or less before the wedding.
On a more positive note, I went to my friend's mother's house to decide on a veil length. Mrs. Upton has offered to make my veil as a wedding present. So, I tried my friend's veil on, and it's so beautiful, so I'm using that as a guide for mine. Tomorrow night I'm meeting with the Classy Chicks string trio to pick out ceremony music, and Saturday Lindsay C. and I are going to Michael's to get decoration ideas for the reception. I feel so much better now about having things done. Invitations have been mailed, and now I'm excited to see who will be coming. I am so lucky to have such great friends and such a sweet fiance helping me through all the planning.
