@@snswedding2016 Thank you! Time is flying.

 

@@Jasminr3803 Thank you! It took about ten minutes to get things started because nonna was hyperventilating because she was so shocked and my mum and Mike's mom were bawling their eyes out. For a few minutes I was concerned that maybe a surprise was not the right way to go - I couldn't tell if Mike's moms tears and nonna's reaction were happy or sad lol Thankfully everyone loved the surprise and were super grateful we included them.

Congratulations on your legal ceremony. I love that your surprise went well, despite your Nonna hyperventilating lol. I actually love the white blazer and think you look so pretty in it.

So today was my first dress fitting and final payment date for our guests.

 

The dress fitting went alright, but not great. The shop is owed by this lovely Korean family and the mother is the seamstress. She doesn't speak or seem to understand any English. When I purchased the dress I told them what alterations I wanted and the son (who the store is named after) translated for the mother and we were super happy with what she planned on doing. Today the son was away and the consultant and the seamstress could not communicate with one and other. Basically I had to try and use hand motions to explain how I wanted things; not the easiest thing to do. I'm quite shocked they didn't cancel the appointment.

 

Here are some photos but neither are very good. Obviously I'm all pinned up and couldn't articulate "less pointy boobs" very well. They are going to call in a couple days to book another fitting with someone present to translate. I also still don't have a belt. My dress needs a belt and I haven't been able to find one. This store had one I fell in love with but it was totally overpriced and of course, is now sold out.

 

 

So as of a few hours ago, 5 couples in our group hadn't made their final payment and 1 couple cancelled. We are confident that 4 of the 5 couples will complete payments but the cancellation came as a surprise. Our guest count is now down to 47. Because payments haven't been completed we haven't been told what our credit will be. When we booked it was 1 for every 21 but because we have so many 4 and 5 day guests it looks like we are JUST shy of two credits. One is better than nothing so we really can't complain.

So sorry about your experience with the dress fitting. You look great though and I'm sure they will come through and make the adjustments you want! I hope the other couples submit their payments asap.

@@Jasminr3803 I actually think the dress fitting experience was kind of funny. I don't think it will be as funny if it happens like that again lol

 

3 of the 5 couples have already paid this morning so we are just waiting on two more
