On a Cheerier Note ...

Jo got a dress! A beautiful, beautiful, classic but modern, flattering but subtle, expensively-made BUT SUPA DISCOUNTED (obvs the best part) wedding dress from Vera Wang! (And not just VW Wedding Collection: Vera Wang Atelier!) I am honored to have gotten a tiny baby blister from having zipped and unzipped somewhere around 30 dresses amidst a crazed crowd of similar brides & their retinues. Alas, I did not have the chance to use my Ben Hur hip guards (equipped with a spike to ram sideways into any competing chariots, oops I mean brides, attempting to close in on a dress we wanted), but I *was* awfully rude to a couple of the VW salespeople who were trying to get us to adhere to the 3-dress-per-bride maximum (we had, oh, 6 or 7 on the rack plus one hidden in a crumpled heap on the floor under jo's scarf, I kid you not, we wanted to hold on to that option) ... which is sort of inexcusable and for which I now feel bad. Vera Wang salesladies! I am sorry. I realize you were only doing your job and I was a being a bridesfriendzilla bitch. Please accept my apologies. Anyway I really have nothing more to say except that it was fun! And the dress is gorgeous! And the wedding is going to be the bestest! That is all.
