Yesterday I met one of my Junior High friends for lunch. I haven't seen Melissa in a few years, but we reconnected on myspace. We met at Olive Garden and ate lunch.
Then we went and looked at a wedding shop- J'aime bridal. I tried on a couple of dresses. Including some hideously ugly lace monstrosity that seriously looked like I walked right out of the 80s. Sorry no pictures of that ugly thing. It came complete with the big butt bow... which I didn't see until I had the dress on. The consultant picked it out because it was my size. Thats it. Well it was waay too big.. So not only did I look like a sack of potatoes, I looked ugly. The crinoline she gave me to put on too kept falling down and when she wasn't looking, I slipped out of it and had my friend take it away. My friend was so nice, she found things she liked in all the dresses. Then again she probably didn't want to tell me I looked hideous.
Anyways, so I wanted to show her that dress I liked. We were just down the street from the other shop, ABC Bridal, so I thought we'd stop by there. When I went in before they had it in a bag with my name and number on it. So I was a little freaked out that they thought I was going to buy it when I was really clear that I was just looking. I figured since I hadn't been back since that time, I'd stop by and hope they didn't recognize me...They kept pressuring me to buy the floor model since it fits and everything. Its just that the floor model is still $800, I found it online for $450! for a new one.
well it was CLOSED. The shop was empty. There was stuff all over the floor, and some crinolines were on a rack.. but no one was there. We were looking through the door and we could see ourselves in the mirror in the back of the room.. thats how empty it was. Everything was gone. So I called the number they had on the door and it was just an answering machine. If I had bought my dress there, I would have been hyperventilating. So.. I'm glad that I didn't actually buy that dress.
I can't believe it went out of business in a month!! WTF?!
