Yesterday at 9am Allie Eugenio arrived at my front door, with two big giant silver cases, ready to do a hair and makeup rehearsal! We started out by looking online at different styles, and then she went to town. We set up in my living room, and she went through everything - I don't want to tell you too much, because, you know, you'll get to SEE it in two weeks, but I really loved the end result! Allie was great - she wasn't trying to sell me anything so she could be honest about what sort of product I might want to buy, that sort of thing. I can't believe what a difference little things made. The end result was that I felt super sparkly, and pretty, and got butterflies all over again!
After my hair and makeup run, my sister Rosie and my mom and I headed down to David's Bridal, where I had my biggest in-public meltdown yet. I was having a very hard time with certain elements of the dress which have now been fixed!!! It was really busy and I was tired and stressed and - we were all saved by David's Bridal employee extraordinaire Connie. Oh my god. She saved my wedding. I was so tired, and SO done of being in that store, that I left and my mom was going to leave too - when Connie told her that they don't let brides leave on the verge of tears, and made us come back and fixed everything. She was seriously amazing. She went above and beyond, and I left happy and with all problems solved. A-Mazing. I need to write them a letter about her, she was that good.
While we were at Metro Pointe where the David's Bridal is, Rose and I stopped in at Marshall's to look for my shoes, because that has been a heinous experience so far. Nothing there, but then we decided to go see what sort of store Loehmann's was, and THERE THEY WERE. My shoes! Sitting NEXT to a pair that were $300, were my beautiful, adorable, hot, PURPLE three-times-on-sale wedding heels. I want to marry these shoes and have little purple shoe babies, that's how much I love these shoes. In my wedding vows, I am going to have our officiant say "Do you take Adam and these shoes" they are THAT good. Yay!
I also got the guestbook, started on some of the decorations, emailed our DJ and prepared for Adam's birthday - which is TODAY! This week was also part-two of the bachelorette party goodness, with a showing of Eclipse at Bella Terra, and then Karaoke til 2 in the morning.
