Have I mentioned that I have awesome friends? They dressed me up and took me to Brio’s for a Bachelorette Party. It was lovely. Don’t you love the veil? I was a little tired, but we enjoyed the evening. Yesterday I went for the final dress fitting. I am more than ecstatic to report it fit better than I ever imagined it would. Having the “pet rock” hernia removed and all the pain of the last month at least brought something good!

Laura McCafferty, Emily’s sister-in-law and renowned professional costumer, is creating the dress alterations. She actually wanted to take it in two inches. NO WAY! I know she says its best for fit, but I’ve got to say the comfort of the dress was wonderful and I told her no. Such a difference from the first wedding dress I wore. That one had to be let out by 4 inches on either side. I’m excited that the dress looked great and I felt rather pretty in it.

I hope Fred likes it. After seeing me with drainage tubes sticking out, vomit spewing out of me, bad breath, and matted hair, I’m sure my look on Saturday will be a big improvement. (ha ha)
