To say I was stressed last week is a huge understatement. Luckily I am finally breathing again. Saturday morning I woke up from a voice text from Sean's mom.... I tried to go back to bed but I knew what she was calling about-- the dresses. So I listened to the voicemail and then couldn't go back to sleep. I had planned to pick up Taryn at 11 to take her and the dress to an alterations shop to see if there was a fix so now I had like 3 hours to kill.... so I went to the gym! I needed to get some aggression out hahahaa.... well luckily Marilyn sounded confident that we could fix it, so Taryn & I went over....with both of us tugging and zipping simultaneously we were actually able to get it to fit....PHEW!!!! And she said it was a little small around the armholes but that she was fine and comfortable, just couldn't get it zipped herself. So that was kind of a relief. Last night I went over with Becky, whose dress really didn't fit either but we were able to get her zipped up in it when she didn't have her arms in the holes. Marilyn seamripped the shoulders and is going to elongate that area. Good thing is the body fits so with that adjustment it should be ok. Casie is coming up on Saturday and I'm really hoping the same will go for hers. Alanna got her box from me and said it didn't fit either but I emailed her with the instructions on how to make it fit and hopefully that will work and we can just make the armholes bigger on hers too!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed until we have a solution for all the girls...but at least I feel so much better now.
Found the favor boxes we want to use...they are a little expensive at Party City so yesterday we went downtown to look and they have it there for $2 cheaper each dozen. Sean tried to bargain with them but they wouldn't budge. I'm going to do more research online but if I don't find anything else at least we know we can go back there.
There are actually a ton of wedding stores downtown. I found this really cute one with tiara's, veil's, jewelry, and all kinds of accessories. Aunty Bet offered to buy me a veil last week which was soooo sweet of her. I found one that I like a lot yesterday but figured since it was the first time trying one on, I should probably shop around before deciding. It was pretty though!!!
Oh, almost forgot-- the boys shirts are finished!!! I picked them up on Saturday, all that's left is to sew on the buttons :)
