Thank you!
How are the upcoming nuptials progressing? I hope it is all going well...
And thanks for your weekly posting. I have learned a lot from it.
Everything is on schedule. The bridesmaid dresses have come in and were sent to out of towners. The IRELAND one was finally picked up last week , after much concern about its whereabouts. Xshub insured it and asked for tracking which must have prompted a duty to be paid on it which required Mary Liz to go to the PO to get it. So we were sweating that. Two other bridesmaids exchanged theirs between them a 4 was tight on one and a 6 a bit loose on the other so the trade worked well. And for some reason I had a brain fart and ordered a size 8 for xsbaby thinking that was the size she had tried on at the bridal salon, when I looked at the cellphone pic I had taken I saw she’d tried a 12! But I discovered this only after she tried it on and it zipped but she can’t breathe well in it at this point. She’s been dieting since the start of lent and obv lost significant weight. If she loses just a bit more in the next 4 mo she should be able to breathe comfortably!
