Wedding DRAMA!!

Ok, so this is one of the few posts that I actually have something to talk about. So, one of my best friends got married yesterday. Actually, currently I am sitting in the Columbus Ohio airport waiting for my flight.. like 4 hours. Luckily I have my best friend Rachael here with me to entertain. Ok, so for the drama. We were all to wear these awful sage green dresses. We, as faithful friends ordered them. Well, I received my dress, put it on once and the zipper broke. And no, to answer Treasure of Treasures Bridal, NO I am not too fat for the dress. Yeah, she actually asked me that when I called to complain. Shock I tell you, shock. So, she told me to send back the dress, they would replace the zipper, and she would pay for the shipping. So I did. I got the dress back, took it out of the box, unzipped it, zip..oh wait it was still broken! Give me a break!! So I called her back, gave her a piece of my mind and decided that I would get it altered, and she would pay for it. All in all, the lady at the alteration place ended up writing the ticket for extra so I could get more money :) ha ha. Ok, all is well and good. That didn't last long, there were five bridesmaids. So the day I got here to Ohio, Lacy tried on her dress. She had had it on 5 times before. Yep, the zipper ripped. Well we had an emergency seamstress visit the night before the wedding and her zipper was replaced. So this made us nervous. I called Treasure again, and she claimed that she has "NEVER had a problem with this dress in the past." I made a joke about how it would not be very funny for five bridesmaids standing outside the temple with their bras and underwear hanging out , wouldn't that look nice." Yeah so she said "that's funny." And I said, YOU'RE RIGHT! IT'S NOT! So, all in all, she said, I will refund the money for the zipper. Well.. If I went into all the details and all the stupid things that Treasure has said.. it would take all day. Long story short, right before we went to the temple, two more zippers broke. We attended the wedding with two new zippers, and two lovely bridesmaids sewn into their dresses. That's right, SEWN. And one of them was sewn in the waiting room in the temple, by the brides mother. Classy I tell you, classy. I officially hate Treasures Bridal. I HATE IT! In the end.. we have some pretty cute pictures. What you don't know is that all our bras and underwear are hanging out in the back.

Sounds like a mess. Are you home from your trip yet? I heard somewhere that there's actually a wedding dress place that sends a person to sew you into your gown intentionally, so you cna fit into and even more skintight gown by no having to do it up.
p.s.
I'm sure you don't even want me to get started on the fact that the dress was completely immodest even before the zipper broke?
*raised eyebrows*

Amy, yes I am home.. and yes... I know the dress was immodest. Terribly. Treasures Bridal, my new favorite place, told us they were giving us cap sleeves. What they really mean is that they were making a thick strap. They were awful, plain and simple.
