worst thing ever....

ok, so now that we've all got our cute little save the dates, i shall reveal the worst crisis of the wedding planning yet....drumroll please. so, on monday the bridal store calls to let me know that my dress finally came in. let me remind you all that i ordered my dress in august ( i believe if my calculations are correct, that is about 7 months ago). so, i'm obviously telling everyone what it looks like (as i have all of you) and i was so excited about it and i have this picture of perfection in my head. so, how excited am i to go try on my dress on tuesday and pick out a veil? VERY EXCITED! well, in the meantime, i'm up in mn with michael and i was supposed to come home on monday. well, in minnesota there's a lot of snow (and i hate it...nothing personal g), so i can't drive home. anyway, my dad has to fly me home on tuesday morning so i can make it to my veiling appointment and just because i'm kinda behind on wedding stuff. so, i get to the store with my mom and they have my dress haning in this big dressing room. they finally tell my mom and me to come back into the dressing room to see the dress. well, you know what was waiting for me?!?!?!?!? A PINK WEDDING DRESS!!!!!!!!! i'm not even kidding here. i stopped dead in my tracks and my mom started crying. you guys, i honestly cannot tell you what was going through my mind. i really think that God uses me as his comical relief which is fine for the most part (like on monday night when both my eyes dialated so much that i got asked if i had a glass eye...another story for another time), but let me tell you God, this is not a funny joke. so obviously i'm freaking out. what happened is that they ordered the right color (shade), but there's a different dye lot now (i don't even know what the heck that means), so the color is a lot different. basically to make a long story short, my top and my sash are great, but the skirt is literally pink. let me remind you it took them 7 months to get my dress to me. how many months until i get married? 4!!!!!!!! i called chelsie right away and i think i'm still in shock. so, now my options consist of losing a ton of money and ordering another skirt in a different shade (who's to guarantee that won't come in blue or something), or take the sick butt store sample that's been used for 2 years and is black at the bottom from dirt not to mentioned ripped (should i offer them my red bandana to patch it up)? i honestly don't know why i'm really surprised, but i am. anyway, i'm trying to push on and not think about it until i have to. the store is having the sample dry cleaned and then they're going to call me on monday. until then, i can't do much. i honestly can't believe this.
so, that's been the most eventful thing of the week. oh, i got my legs and bikini waxed tonight. oh good lord, it hurt like nothing i've ever felt before. i wanted to murder myself right there on the little table. not to mention you're just lying there, butt naked. that's comfortable. i also went to a cooking class tonight called favorites from france. it was amazing and i was totally thinking of all of you because i wanted to gorge myself but unfortunately i had to be polite and let the other people in the class have some food as well. we had steak and salad and tarte de tartin:) my fav. then i was supposed to hang out with chelsie, but she never called me....cool. it's ok, i forgive and still love.
anyway, it's been so good reading the posts and hearing how you guys are doing. sarah, good luck with michael...that's an amazing story. tara, thank you for making that known to us. gina, why do you hate us and never write? chels, you have to finish that movie. it's one of my favorites...i think that i might have told gina about it. you get your rear in gear and go to blockbuster. ok, i love you girls so much and can't wait to hear more about all that's going on. sorry this was so long!
