Bridal Party Fitting!

I LOVE my family and friends something awful!  I had the most amazing time with my Matrons of Honor and three of my bridesmaids this past Sunday (the other 3, Danny's sister's are in other states).  During our time we were able to quickly eliminate Bridesmaid Dress Option 2.  I'm not sure what was going on with those sleeves, but if I had a pair of scissors and the guts to do it, I would've cut them things right off, right there in that dressing room.  Talk about irritating...

But Bridesmaid Dress Option 1, it was more gorgeous than I expected.  Only the detailed beading and crystals on the sleeves were shown on the website, but in the store I was able to see that the entire waistband was also lined with beads and crystals.  Also, the sleeves (which are more like straps) are detachable.  We had a lot of fun going back and forth about which way the dress should be worn.  I personally, prefer the straps to be worn in the plain regular way.  But, my more stylish bridesmaids thought over the shoulder and across the chest looked better... It was cute, and I have a few months before the dresses are ordered and have to be altered so, we'll see if I'm feeling simple then or a little more daring.

The Sisters! l-r (Me, Nisha, Love)

Since I had already tried on my wedding dress a couple weeks before, I decided to try and squeeze into the bustier that my second to oldest sister, Love, wore on her wedding day.  So, yeah... that took a few extra hands.  And, I'm not sure what's wrong with my boobs but, that was the third bustier I've tried on and none of them fit right!  I mean, between my ring finger and my tits, I'm not sure which fluctuates the most!  Oh and by the way, my ring is too big... again... and I just got it sized like a week ago!          

Anyhoo, we were in the bridal shop from 3:30 up until an employee knocked on the dressing room door.

"Yes!"  We answered as I quickly shoved my camera back in my purse.

"I'm just making sure you all heard the announcement."  

"No, what announcement?"  We asked.

"The store is closed!" 

Say what?!  So, needless to say we packed our things and stood in front of the store

Dang, I should've tried climbing the walls...

talking and taking pictures until Friend and I suddenly had the urge to tinkle.  Of course, Nu took charge asking one of the consultants if we could come back in the store after they had already closed shop.  They allowed us to come back in, but they had no idea what was about to take place.  We entered the bathroom and instantly I visioned myself in a leather cat suit with a black whip in hand!  I thought the bridal salon was beautifully designed, but I loved the walls of the bathroom.  I rushed back out of the bathroom and told Nu to bring the camera.  My oldest sister came along and we proceeded to have a photoshoot in the bathroom of Bridals by Lori.
