The First Snag (of many to come...)

I knew eventually we'd have to hit some kind of a snag. A little over six weeks to go until the wedding, and we've hit the first one. It comes in the form of bridesmaids dresses.

I found the dresses I wanted way back in October, but I've held off on ordering the dresses for a long time. First it was because I'm lazy. Then it was because Nikki was pregnant... and we wanted to wait and see how big she would get. Then it was because we weren't sure she'd be able to be in the wedding at all. Then, once again, it was because I'm lazy

At some point in that time, they stopped making the dress. Not a big deal, the place I was planning to order from had many still in stock. But now they're running out of sizes. And they've run out of one of the sizes I'm pretty sure I need.

There is a silver lining, however. For the last few weeks, I've really been second-guessing the style I picked. And the other style I've been considering has plenty of sizes in stock. So maybe I should look at this as fate. Or destiny. Or divine intervention... take your pick.

I was talking with my hairstylist today about the wedding, and she told me something that really made a lot of sense. Only Cory and I really know what the wedding is supposed to be like. If we hit a snag here or there (say, we can't get the flowers that we had our hearts set on-- or the caterers bring the wrong side dish), who's going to know? Nobody but the two of us, that's who. So unless things go horribly wrong (like the caterers don't bring any food at all, or there's another wedding booked at our site), who cares?

At least, that's my attitude right now. We'll see if I feel that way in (eek!) 46 days.
