Wedding Clothing

Yesterday I thought i was going to work, but all the work evaporated. I called AL and we made a mad dash trip to the Gap Outlet in Woodburn, where we purchased a grip of dresses for all my bridesmaids..... We had talked about making them and I wanted to model them after the black dress I got from the Gap to wear in Anatomists wedding. AL said to me on Wednesday "They have them at the Gap Outlet in gray. And they're on sale." 24$ each. not bad, i say. and my sister found the shoes everyone's going to wear, at Target online for $20. After the outlet mall AL and I went to NW 23rd to a silk dress store where I had tried on dresses with my Mom and Sis awhile back. There was this one dress that I just really loved..... So I talked to the guy about what I wanted, the gray green color and similar style to the dress I tried on, but with a few changes. He said they only had enough of the fabric for one more dress and he was supposed to be holding it for someone else. I was SO bummed..... Then he seemed to reconsider, said that this color was only one of three choices this other woman was deciding between. So he said he would make it up for me and tell her she'll have to pick something similar or one of her other choices. I think he realized that he would make more money giving me what I wanted, especially since I said I wanted to have a tie made and some other things. So i totally lucked out, and am so glad we went in when we did because if I had gone in Saturday it might have been too late! And in the end I'm getting a custom made silk dress for $305. Wedding plans are rolling right along. It's seems so far yet so close, only 6 months from yesterday. We'll be sending out our save the date magnets real soon! I'm talking to a caterer about whether I can do a pig roast within my budget. Maybe if ALL they do is the pig..... We'll see.
