In exactly 94 days, is the BIG DAY! Crazy, I didn't even realize I was down to the double digits. Slowly but surely I'm feeling the stress. Still haven't had a huge freak out yet, but who knows how long that will last. Actually, to be completely honest I did have mini freak out last Friday. But in my defense, I think I'm justified.
Some of you have heard about my dress problem already, since I shared my frustration on theknot message boards. But for those who haven't here's the story:
Last September I ordered my wedding dress from Neiman Marcus. When I placed my ordered my dress consultant said and I quote: "You should be receiving your dress the end of December."
Well, it's the beginning of February and I still do NOT have my dress. December is such a busy month with all the holidays and stuff, so I did not make much attention whether I had received a phone call from Neiman Marcus. January is just as hectic for me. But finally mid-January I took the time to call inquire on the status of my dress, and to schedule an appointment as to when I could pick up the dress, and have my first fitting.
To my surprise, the dress had not come in yet. Even after the sales lady looked up my order, she seemed clueless as to when my dress would arrive. So naturally, I wasn't to confident in her answer next week. Ok fine, no big deal right?!?!
At that point, I still think I have plenty of time and I will just give them a call next week again. No need to stress, right!! Boy was I wrong!! A week later, I called Neiman Marcus again to see if my dress had arrived. Anyone want to take a guess what I was told? Yup, my dress has not come in yet and wouldn't arrive until the following week. Wait?! That was the same response I received the previous week, when I made my first call to the store to inquire about the status.
This time I was a bit peeved, since I was promised a delivery date in December. Surprisingly, I still did not freak out yet at this point...perhaps because I had so much going on, I just didn't have the time and couldn't follow up on my dress status until last Friday. Of course, my dress wasn't in yet! But this time, I finally got my dress consultant on the phone! She informed my that my dress is in production, and she wouldn't hear back from my dress designer until Monday?
In production?? What the hell? I ordered my dress in September. My dress should have been place in production back in September, right?? Furthermore she explained, it would take another 3-5 days for my dress to arrive, since my dress will be shipped from New York. For that reason, she had not called me, because she didn't know exactly as to when my dress would arrive. But my consultant promised to call me on Monday to let me know the status regardless. Well Monday rolls around and I did not hear from them all day. So finally around 4:45 I call them. Of course, they didn't have any new information for me, since they hadn't heard from the designer. But by Wednesday they definitely would know more!!! Ya right! Oh and they would call me on Wedneday!! Naturally, by now I was bit irritated, upset, annoyed....you name it! As politely as possible, I told them that I moved up my wedding date up to March. Therefore I need my dress this month still, since I still need alterations. Ugh! My bridal consultant tried to assure me that I would have my dress in time for my wedding. But she wasn't very convincing and by now I don't believe a word they say anyway.
So far, I have not received a call from them yet. If tNeiman Marcus does not call me by 5pm. They will have one un-happy Bride on their hands. And I will have to unlease the BRIDEZILLA!! Beside the dress issue everything else is coming along fine. I just placed my invitation order. Super excited about the invitations!!! I just know The Paper Stylilst will create a fabulous invitation suite for me. Can't wait to see what she comes up with.
