So my last post was a cry for help in two (completely different) departments:
1) The bra. No sooner had a I posted my anxiety about my wedding undergarments (or rather, lack-there-of), TWO people came to my rescue...and with the SAME suggestion none-the-less! I logged off blogger, and on to facebook (my life is so computer oriented it's sad), and had a sweet message from one of my old Mason sorority sisters/former suitemates/newlywed, Mrs. Kelly Johnson directing me to check out Trousseau in Vienna, VA. I went to the website and was incredibly intrigued and decided I would go check it out. Right then, my phone rang and it was my MoH Lori. I told her of my bra-woes (ha ha) and she said "hmm...you should check out the place that I went in Vienna..." and I said "is it called Trousseau??" and she said "YES! That's it!" and I laughed and said "Kelly just told me about them on facebook!" So I called my mom and asked her if she'd be available to go with me this week to check them out (since I need a bra by Saturday for my alterations appointment!) but unfortunately she's super busy with school work so she said "why don't you ask your MoH to go with you? I bet Lori would love to go!" Well I figured I'd ask Lori, but ended up leaving work, going to the gym, and then falling onto the couch and completely forgot about the bra store...UNTIL I was walking Whinnie and my phone rang and low and behold, it was Lori! She said "I don't know why I didn't offer this before when we were talking about Trousseau, but I'll totally go with you if you want me to!" Seriously, that's why she's my MoH. Total mind reader. Anyway, we're going to make the mini-hike out there tonight and find me something to keep me all "strapped in" (ha ha) under my wedding dress. I'm actually a bit nervous about this appointment as A)I plan on going right after the gym tonight and I hope I'm not sweaty/stinky and B)I'm a pretty modest person (as in I put my sports bra on over my regular bra in the ladies locker room...I don't like being on nudey display), so I'm hoping they let me try things on by myself...in a closed dressing room...with a lock on it. More about that tomorrow.
2) The officiant. Or -- seeing as I've decided that "officiant" is a made up word, since Microsoft Word does not recognize it, and continues to annoyingly underline it with the squiggly red line every time I type it in emails to my mom, dad and Todd -- I will call this person The Celebrant. Which is actually the official title for legal non-denominational wedding ceremony "performers" (for lack of better word). Anyway, right after I posted my blog, our wedding coordinator at Regency (Jennifer -- I love her!) emailed me a recommended Celebrant. I called, she answered, we talked, and she is available for our wedding date!! THEN, last night, as I'm talking to Todd on the phone, he tells me that his high school friend who became a Pastor returned his call, and he TOO is available on our wedding date! So now we have a meeting with the Regency recommended Celebrant for April 2nd, and we're going to set up a meeting with Todd's friend as well. Hallelujah!
So in no time flat, two big weights were lifted off my shoulders, and my little wedding prayers were answered! Big thanks to my blog followers and former brides who contribute their ideas and make things easier for me! XOXOXO
