Yesterday was not a good day at all...and it only got worse in the afternoon.

My girlfriend went to pick up my dress (with the person we carpool with) while I had my wax appointment and 2nd makeup trial with the new lady. The shop lady went to check on the dress, came back downstairs, and told my friend they were working on it. WHAT???? They told her the beads under the arm were being put back on. When my friend called to tell me this, I KNEW this meant that they had just picked it up to work on it. They completely forgot that it was supposed to be ready yesterday and that my friend was coming to get it. Keep in mind that I''d already had to bring it back because they screwed up. I told my friend to go ahead and leave and not wait for it because I knew if they were just putting the beads on, that meant they hadn''t fixed the waist band OR pressed it yet. I called the salon and tried to stay calm. The manager was indifferent and had an attitude. She said she would call me back and let me know the status. She finally did call my back while I was getting my trial. She had to nerve to ask if my friend would be coming back that same evening or if I was. I said I would be there before the shop closed. I then called FI in a rage and asked him to meet me at the dress shop. Big surprise, the beads were back on but the band was not fixed. I tried to keep my composure and I asked for her to tell to me what they would do to make it right. Long story short, she is personally delivering it me at my work today. I will open it in front of her and if it''s not right, I will send it back with her and she can deliver it again later. I will not keep driving to the shop. It''s out of my way and I''ve already wasted a lot of gas and time and my friend''s gas and time!!!

I went home, had 3 glasses of wine, and went to bed. Today my co-workers are telling me I''m glowing and that I seem much better. I do...it will all be taken care of.

Oh I loved the MAC trial with the new girl. She did a great job, so I''m confident she will do well on Friday.

Today, I have a touch-up color appointment after work and then my airbrush tan appointment. From there I''m going home and cleaning up a little bit. FI''s family is staying there Friday night which is why it needs to be cleaned. Sweetie FI did a lot last night though.

My dress better be perfect when she drops it off today!! Oh, and Houston brides - I take back all the good things I''ve said about Ventura Bridal!! Once they make the sale, the customer service is a GONER!!
 
That dress situation sounds like a royal PITA. That must be amazingly frustrating. Good for you for standing up to that manager and making sure you get what you paid for!

Yay about the make-up trial!

I''m so glad to hear you''re having a better day! I hope it only gets better.
 
So sorry about the dress, but at least everything else seems to be coming together. Hopefully, they will have the dress right today the first time she brings it to you!
 
Glad the makeup trial went well! That''s a relief, I''m sure.

Let us know about the dress. We''re keeping our fingers crossed for you.
 
Courtney, I feel for you. Nothing is worse than a bridal salon that doesn''t provide the most gracious and reassuring service.

We pick up my daughter''s dress today and we are a nervous wreck too! We have to do the whole pedicure excursion, BM dress hemming since her cousin just flew into town last night. The last few days are stressful.

I''m so glad you are reassured about your makeup. I know how much that was weighing on your mind.

But just think....in a few days you will be a married woman!!!!!!!!!!!!

I''m getting so excited for this weekends Brides!!
 
Wooo, you must be so excited.

I am glad it is all coming around for you!
 
How frusterating about your dress! Hopefully they will make all corrections and you will not have to deal with this mess after today!

Good news about your Mac trial though, I know you were concerned about the new girl, so I am glad she is going to do a splendid job for you (one less thing to worry about, right?).

Take a deep breath, Friday will be here before you know it!
 
Thanks, everyone. I''m sitting here anxiously waiting on my dress to get here.
 
Let us know what happens, though I am sure you were planning on it!
 
OOOhhh, the dress saga sounds horrible, but I am glad they''re bending over backwards for you now. Good for you for standing up to them!

I am really happy for you that the makeup trial worked out well. :) Things are falling into place!
 
Courtney- I am so sorry to hear about that. So annoying!!! I am sure they will come through for you and get it done right! Keep us posted.
 
Im glad the new makeup trial went well! Now you wont have to worry about that anymore. Sounds like your dress will be in tip top shape by wedding day to me!
 
Well I''m not 100% happy with the dress, but it''s better. I guess when you know a specific area is being changed or worked on, you focus in on it. It''s hard to explain, but my girlfriend says it looks better and you can''t even notice any flaws. I tried it on and it''s all even and straight and looks beautiful.

I left work early to head to my hair appointment (touch up highlights) and their power went out. Luckily something cleared up tomorrow afternoon, so I rescheduled for then.

I drove through Chick-fil-a for a happy meal because I need some comfort food.

man, if it''s not one thing it''s another!

Do we get to see pictures of the dress?
 
You poor thing! Since your friend did not notice anything negative, I am sure it looks great. If you ever get a moment, take a picture of it with you wearing it and we will shower you with positive feedback!!

Gotta love Chick-fil-a!
 
Glad things are going better and that the make-up trial went well!! I am sorry the dress isn''t 100% what you wanted.

Can we see it?

I bet it isn''t as bad as you think, like your friend said. Most people will be too distracted by how happy and beautiful you are to notice even if it was noticeable! Oh and Chick-Fil-A isn''t that bad for you, so good choice!

Hope you''re feeling better!
 
Glad your new make-up artist is great!

As for the dress, I''m sure you won''t even think about it on the day! Everything negative is just amplified at the moment but on the day it will all be POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!
