Full steam ahead

Well it is 45 days until the BIG DAY!! Things are officially picking up pace. I had my first fitting last week which went beautifully. Well except for the part where I cried. Let me explain...my dress only comes in 3 lenghts and when we ordered it they stressed the fact that it could not be hemmed because of the beading on the bottom. So we told them to get the 5'5" length seeing as I am 5'4" and my heels are only 1". Perfect right??? When I got the dress on there was about 3 inches on the ground. I started to panic. It took 2 months for my dress to come in and I knew there was not enough time to get another one. I started tearing up. They checked the order form and they had ordered a 5'7" dress even after they wrote down that we wanted a 5'5". The owner of the shop brought out a seamstress and they came up with a solution which I think actually makes the dress look better!!! The best part is they are not going to charge us for the alterations!!!!! YEAH!!!!! I go again next week and am very excited because Ashley, my maid of honor, is coming so she can learn how to fasten my bussel and sinch me up!! She has not seen the dress yet!! We also met with the table decoration people Monday and got to see what the tables will actually look like for the first time. Oh and we got the flower girl dresses. They are really cute. So far so good (knock on wood). Well I dont have much else to write about for now. My head is swirling with to do lists so I am not much in writing mode.
