Really??!!..1

You’ve been warned! I included the conversation instead of trying to explain…
Shipping Manager: Hello, is this Makerbie?
Moi: Yes, how may I help you?
SM: I am calling because we can no longer hold your dress, it has been here since March and we need     for you to pick it up (mind you in an annoying tone).
Moi: Excuse me??!!! What do you mean it has been here since March??
SM: I show in our system that someone spoke to you in March and also in April about your dress.
Moi: Wait! let’s take a few steps backwards. When did my dress arrive?
SM: It arrived in March and I have it in the system that we spoke to you in March to pick up your dress and again in April about veils.
Moi: First of all, I received a call from the alterations department yesterday requesting to set up a date for fitting. I asked “how can I schedule a fitting if I am still waiting for my dress to arrive?”. She informs me that it came in on Friday and they were still going down the list, that is probably why I hadn’t received a call yet.  Now, you are telling me my dress has been here since MARCH!!! When I placed my late order they told me to expect it to arrive during the first or second week of June. So of course I waited, but now you are telling me my dress has been here since March, a week after I placed the order. Secondly, you have the audacity to tell me I spoke to someone in April about the dress! Listen lady, you better make sure you are calling the right person and have the right dress.
SM: Well, it shows in the system..
Moi: I’m not finished!! Wherever and whatever the screw up is, you better find it and fix it! That better be my dress when I go in for alterations. I will be highly upset if I find out my dress was actually here since March. Yes I scheduled an appointment in April but that appointment was set for me to try on the sample dress because I was having doubts about my purchase. No worries this is the beginning of my raft, by the way I no longer find a need for this conversation because clearly something is off. I am too upset to continue this conversation because a store like yours shouldn’t have errors or need a better system. Whatever it is, it better not be a problem I have to deal with.
SM: Well, I apologize. I will look into it, maybe I can have your fitting sooner.
Moi: Let me help you understand clearly, if you are correct that means my dress has been here for THREE MONTHS!!!. Which means I could have already had it altered, which takes about 4 weeks according to your alterations department, and worry about other matters. Now I am down to the wire with crunch time. Here’s what you can do, if they have to rush my alterations then the store will waive that fee. That’s an apology!
SM: Well, we will see what we can do.
Moi: I don’t want to see what can be done, oh it will be done. Not my fault but yours Miss SHIPPING MANANGER. Thank you!
Aaaaasssaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Now did I overreact? because I sure am heated! I am still in disbelief!

Signing off for now 


“I want to flip?”

Given the title, you’re probably thinking I’m on a “mad rampage” but that is not the case at all. Well, here is a briefing; I have always liked the idea of wearing a birdcage veil for my wedding day, because I think it’s modern and vintage inspired all in one.  It allows much more room for personality in my opinion.  I can personalize the birdcage veil with tulle, flower, Swarovski crystals and/or feathers and more versus picking by length such as chapel length, elbow length veil, fingertip veil, semi-cathedral veil, well you get the point. Look at these beauties, they make a fashionable statement without much of a fuss.






One Sunday afternoon, while sitting on the couch, doodling with new projects on my loving Mac, I decide to ask Mr. Fiancé wedding related questions. Mind you as every other Sunday he is sitting in front of the television playing his PS3 game. He responds to my questions with nods and yes babes. Then I ask, “what do you think of birdcage veils?” he looks at me and asks “what’s a birdcage veil?” I start my whole process of explanation and in between my sentence he says: “No, I want to flip!” At this point I’m still trying to process the word NO, and then he resorts to explaining that he wants to be able to flip the veil off my face before the official kiss.
Sigh, it seems my veil excitement that I have yearned for so long had just been crushed! As any other situation I would try to talk my way into getting what I want but I realized through-out this whole planning process, this is one of his first requests (aside from liquor!). Well, I haven’t lost all hope, I plan on drowning him with dozens of gorgeous pictures of the birdcage in hopes that he too would come to love it as much as I do.


Do I have any regrets asking? Somewhat!!! At times I think I should have left it as the reveal as I walk down the aisle, then again I might have gotten an eye-brow raise look from him wondering what the heck I was donning on my head, laugh-out loud!
