No...not mine. My sister's wedding. I want to hurt myself every time I have to go to one of my older sister’s wedding appointments. From dress fittings to trial run hair appointments, everything seems to go wrong and someone ends up crying. My little sister started crying at the dress fitting because her bridesmaid dress didn’t fit her, my older sister started crying because the florist went behind her back and tripled the price their original agreement and myself….I just sit back and laugh to myself because I find the whole situation to be quite humorous. I am sooooo glad that Ben and I are having a small wedding and that everything has been a breeze for us to plan. We haven’t had one problem so far. I think the hardest thing we had to deal with was picking out music for the reception.
Back to my sister’s wedding appointments….Over this past weekend, my sister had a hairstylist come to my mom’s house to do a trial run for our (my mom, my older sister, myself, my younger sister and another bridesmaid) hair for her wedding. As we were waiting for my older sister to arrive, she calls us and tells us that she has run out of gas on the freeway and her fiancé’s car is dead. Now most people would feel bad, but I just started laughing. Why? My sister and I used to share a car and every time it was returned back to me the gas gauge wouldn’t move when I would turn the car back on. That means she would put the minimum amount of gas in the car to make sure she could drive from Ann Arbor to Farmington Hills and back. It was so frustrating because I was the main driver of the car and I was paying for the gas myself. I even had to coast into a gas station one night because I could tell that the car was pretty much out of gas. Anyways…it finally caught up with her! It was great! We ended up having to go, get gas and find her on the freeway (she had to coast off the freeway on the left-hand side of I-275). As we were driving back, my mom called to inform her that the hairdresser was only going to do a trial run on her hair and not on the rest of us. She would do everybody else’s hair for the first time on the day of the wedding. Of course that was not what the original agreement was, so everybody started getting mad once again. The other funny thing was that the hairdresser is pregnant with twins and is due probably 5 weeks after the wedding. That could get interesting because she is planning to spend about an hour with each person – that’s going to be 5 hours. I don’t imagine that she is going to be exactly comfortable standing for that long in her eighth month of pregnancy.
I can only picture the day of her wedding being complete chaos with the way things are going. Again…I am soooo glad that I don’t really have to deal with any of this in the planning of our wedding.
Our wedding invitations came in yesterday…expect to see them in your mailboxes soon (:
