My Dress has Arrived

Yesterday, while sitting in my pajamas, with my blank piece of paper in front of me and pen posed, ready to write out my weekend "to do" list, I got a call from David's Bridal.

"Your dress has arrived. Would you like to reschedule you fitting for sometime sooner?"

"Of course. When is there an open appointment?"

"How about 1:30pm today?"

"Sure!" and because it was 12:45pm I raced to the shower, yanked at my knotted "Sunday Hair", dressed and ran out of the door.

When the tailor opened the impossibly long dress bag and pulled the plastic around the hanger to reveal the dress, my breath caught in my throat. I had forgotten how beautiful the dress is. I just couldn't wait to get it on again. Unfortunately, it is a process, getting into a wedding dress; but 20 minutes later I was beaming, despite myself, and feeling very pretty.

My dress fit perfectly, we did not have to make a single alteration. They measured and pinned up the bustle and I undress and I was on my way.

I am scheduled to pick up the dress in one month. Since I have been busting my butt working out, I am a little afraid that some alterations may have to be made at the last minute, but that is money I am willing to spend.
