I have a nice little story from a bride-zilla in the making!
When I first became engaged I swore to myself, my fience, friends and family at my engagement party I was not going to be "one of those, BRIDE-ZILLAS" engaged in April 13 to be married June of 14 and excited as any girl would be, I started planning and making appointments to meet with all my bridesmaids and my mom to find the perfect gown!
The first gown I tried on was it, it was the one... But the price tag stopped me in my tracks, so the search continued for a gown I could compare to The One with not as big of a dent on the planning budget. So I find, the second best one! Get the deposit paid and order placed. Perfect right?! Well, buyers remorse set in and care of cost right out the window.
I begged and plead "please let me cancel my order and get the dress of my dreams" to be smacked in the face with "contract is signed, orders already in place it can not be canceled" huff and puff I suck it up and decide to deal with it like a big girl, tried repeatedly to psych myself out about the "second best dress"
months go buy... Dress should arrive between September and the first week of December at the latest. So mid September I contact the boutique that I ordered my dress from and set an appointment for me and my girls to go in and get sized for their dresses and get them paid, 4-6 months comes quick when you're expecting a dress. Specifically stated that regardless of bridesmaid #4 placing her order the 3 maids that were there with me that day MUST have their dresses ordered ASAP. I even stated that I didn't care if The last dress came from a different dye lot number, pft.
So here we are 2 weeks into December I haven't heard anything, weird, so I call the bridal store I ordered from to be told "I don't have authority to talk to you about your dress ill have a manager call you on Monday" Monday comes and goes...twice, than to receive a call from the Manager to tell me, "your dress order was canceled and we didn't know," WHAT?! How can you NOT know an order YOU placed was canceled?!
Today, I sympathize with all bride to bes who are called Bride-zillas, it's really not our fault... And when you're told there's nothing that can be done now except to rush order the "second best" dress which would make it here just in time for your wedding... Ugh.
I'm off now to find a knock off of my perfect dress, dress number one, with a short six months left before the wedding in hopes it'll make it here on time.

Please share this with all brides to be, let them know they are NOT alone.
Signed,
A Bride-zilla in the making...

Ps IT'S YOUR DAY BRIDAL IN LASALLE, You've been Spotted!!!
