Dress dilemma solved (i think)

So, after much web surfing (10 hours at least...no kidding) and some help from myd and connie...and a 2 hour phone call to chicken... and some consulting with Kevin....I have come to a decision. If Jenifer can fit into a medium we will get that for her. I don't think that's really an option, but it would get her in the same dress as the others and Velisia then would pick a dress that would stand out. Which is expected as she is the matron of honor. If Jen doesn't feel she would be able to fit into a medium (which I think is going to happen) then we're going with the red cherry swing dress from the same manufacturer. The red isn't going to match my dress perfectly and there's nothing we can do about that, but it shouldn't clash too much. And since it's 2 of them it will be like we planned it all along (i'm hoping) And it will still have that vintage flair.

ON a side note i think my sister is mad at me for telling her that I was disappointed that they waited so long. She did try to order it in March and it was out of stock then too. And I know she's got financial things to deal with as well. I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings...but remember this. It's less than 2 weeks until my wedding day and 2 of my bridal party still don't have their clothes. It's frigging stressful! I shouldn't be having to worry about crap like bridesmaids dresses. It should already be done...or at the very least handled by someone other than me. I still have a ton of stuff to do for the wedding that had to be put off because I had to spend 10 hours looking for suitable dress alternates yesterday. Plus I missed the Red Wings playoff game on TV and had to settle for listening to it on the radio cuz there's no TV in the computer room.

But...what's done is done. I can't change things. We have to move on and deal with things. I'm not going to let this get me down or stress me out 13 days before the wedding. That day is ultimately all about me.
