My first wedding nightmare!

Thursday, February 2, 2012
Yes, I'll admit it. Last night I had my first real wedding nightmare. I've had dreams before where things might go a little bit awkward during the wedding  or Graym and I couldn't find some "alone time" post-reception, but those I found much more humorous than frightful. Last night, however, left me completely freaked out!

The wedding dress is a huge part of the girls wedding day. When I found my dress, I fell in love and have been so excited to put it back on ever since that day in October. One thing I did do though was order my dress in a different color than I tried on. The dress in the boutique was an off-white/ivory when I wanted the traditional white wedding dress. I'm still a little bit worried that the dress may look different, as does happen sometimes when you try dresses on in different colors, and apparently this has subconsciously left me majorly tweaked out.

In my dream I was heading to the boutique to try on my dress since they had just received the dress in store and I was eager to try it out, see how it fits, and make any alterations if needed. My mom, and for some reason Graym, came along. When I tried on the dress, I almost died. It wasn't my dress! It was a weird variation of my dress that had some crazy brown and tan design on the front and was only as long as about mid-calf. Though I insisted this wasn't the dress I ordered, the woman and man who worked at the boutique claimed that it was, and even my mom said that it didn't look that different. I made them check the paperwork, and lo and behold they had never written down the particular details for my dress and so they just kinda guessed as to what I wanted. I demanded that they order me another dress free of charge, and as I waited for her to call the bridal company in China (because apparently in my mind that's where they make wedding dresses haha) I was left pacing in the boutique. I was fuming! And THEN the woman comes back all cool saying, OK, no problem, we'll have your dress here and ready by November. So I flip out, saying that my wedding is in September and that she needs to figure something out since they made the mistake and I need my dress. Graym this whole time is just sitting in a corner with his eyes closed since he doesn't want to see the dress, which is also driving me crazy because I wanted his support. 

Then I woke up. I'm not sure it that's a good thing because I wanted to know if I ever got my dress on time, but perhaps it also saved me from continuing such a bad dream. I should be getting my dress in (my real dress) sometime this month or next so I have been quite anxious lately.  That topped with a late night that didn't end too great is probably what triggered this catastrophe, but hopefully this doesn't evolve from a dream into real life!

So there you have it. My first, and definitely not my last, wedding nightmare. Just 7 more months til I can kiss those all good-bye :)
