First, a long history:
I started looking for a dress in October.  I went to 5 salons and nothing was what I had in mind.  I wanted something old fashioned looking but most stuff was modern and not my style.  It had to be something dramatic because I am getting married on the porch of an ornate Victorian mansion with HUGE 2 story columns.  Finally, I wanted a v neck with bell sleeves and I learned I am the only person in the world who wants them. 
I found the dress online but only a few local retailers carried the company.  I talked to one in mid Jan and they told me they could freight in the one I like so I agreed.  A week later I had heard nothing so I called.  They told me the owner was handling it and would call me back but she never did.  I called again two weeks later and got the same answer and still no call.  A new place had opened 60 miles away and they told me they could get it in a week so I agreed.  There were numerous further problems with the shipping but I tried it on Sunday and it is the dress. It was getting so bad I had started suggesting showing up to the wedding naked and being done with it.


I don’t look like I am excited in the pictures but I am, it’s just that:
The dress is a size 8 and I ordered a size 4 so it was falling off me. 
I had celebrated St. Pat’s the day before
I HATE having my picture taken
I had just discovered the ring is an unmitigated disaster.
