Bridal Brain Farts - share your stories

Maddie, on February 17, 2022 at 1:15 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6

8 days out and I had my first one.

Took my dress last week for some small alteration tweaks to a seamstress i found online with good reviews. She said to come back in a week after she had fixed the back so she could do the bustle. I didn't get a call a week later so I called the store i THOUGHT i took it to. They can't find my dress, have never heard of me or my FH who dropped his pants off at the same place. They said they would check the store and call me back. 5 minutes later they call me back and sound out of breath "please come down, we cannot find it".

So I start to freak out - How is this possible that they lose BOTH our orders. So I rush down to the place i took it to and it's closed...it also has a totally different phone number on the door as the one i called O_O...I look up at the sign (which I guess I didn't read when i took it in the first place) and it is a completely different store than the one i looked up online and called. I call the number on the door and the owner picks up "Yes your dress is ready, I stepped out for lunch, I will be back in an hour".

Turns out they were like 6 doors down from each other, and when I was driving down for the first time i just saw "alterations" and assumed it was the store i found online. I had to call the other place and apologize for scaring them. Felt like SUCH dork. I am SO glad I didn't berate them over the phone, I would have felt even worse.

Anyone else completely losing their brain so close to their wedding? Let's all laugh at each other.

    Hahaha Oh no you poor thing!!

    - I booked my nail appointment yesterday on the entirely wrong day, had to go back today and cancel and rebook a ton of services.

    - I forgot to buy any belts or suspenders for all of the guys in the wedding. Luckily realized that a couple weeks ago!

    We have 23 days left. I am sure there will be more!

    My most memorable one was the week of the wedding. we did our own social hour - mostly just store bought and party trays from a restaurant, etc but there were elements to it like plates, napkins, etc that i did on my own right?

    my mom was trying to make sure i got everything by asking about each item like did you get cups? did you get plates? etc

    then she got to did you get napkins? HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T. i don't know how i would have forgotten that.

    luckily thats easy but it was also just kind of wild i let THAT slip haha.

    My first wedding, I told my 82 year old grandmother that our wedding was on Washington Blvd, not Washington Ave, so she was out wandering around in downtown rush hour looking for us lol. Luckily my dad helped her get it figured out, and we waited for her because I was not getting married without my Grammie! lol

    My fiancé texted me yesterday: "Did we order the coffee?"


    No, we didn't. His family are from Puerto Rico and coffee is a big deal. We are having an afternoon ceremony and were planning on having Puerto Rican coffee next to the hot cocoa.

    It is too late to order it, even from Amazon. Luckily, his mom is letting us use some of her supply and we will pay her back with bags from the shipment that comes in the week after the wedding.

    Also, I showed up to my final dress appointment without the shoes. 🤦‍♀️
