Most Efficient Bride Ever

On Saturday I helped a friend pick out a wedding dress. I expected her to spend lots of time trying many, many dresses, going to lots of stores, and being indecisive, as is her right as a bride.

She found her dress in the first store we went to. We were in and out within an hour.

Seriously.

All the dresses in the store were made to order. There were lots of samples to try on, but you could also say "I want the top part of this dress, the bottom part of that one, the straps like so, the fabric on this dress, and the color from that one."

Even with all the choices, my friend knew what she wanted. She tried on about a half-dozen dresses in the general design she wanted, took photos, picked out colors, had her measurements taken by the consultant, placed her order, and received fabric swatches for the florist, all in less than one hour.

Hooray for decisiveness!

Afterwards we went out for cake.

Your friend is quite a rarity - my sister decided she wanted an entirely new wedding dress AFTER she'd had the final fitting on her first dress. Drama!

Wow, I hope it wasn't too close to the wedding.

It was a month before the wedding. Luckily, the second dress was off the rack.
