No one has a better job than I do. We are realists and expect a miracle every day. We have many stories to tell and I want to be a better blogger and tell some. They are just snapshots of life, but you that are getting married might find them fun and interesting.
Two things today: We have started offering tux rentals again and a groom picked his up today and looked so handsome. If your groom doesn't want to wear a tux, insist upon it. They look sooooo good!! The guy who picked his up today is the youngest of 14 children, and wait, born in 16 years. Happy Mother's Day to his mother.
Yesterday I got a call from a bride in Vermont who wants a modest gown and, of course, has had a hard time finding one there. She ordered one from a large store on the Wasatch Front, but it arrived in a condition that she cannot wear it. So she googled and found us. We have the Bonny Bliss 2105 ready to ship from California in a white size 2 and it will be here tomorrow. It is a beautiful dotted swiss tulle and is a happy, fun ball gown. (Go to bonny.com to see it.) Her father called with a charge card number and we got that part taken care of.
But that is not the end of the story. Her fiance emailed me this morning with an email that made me tear up. He said ". . Will you please allow me to pay for the gown? I love the concept of the bridegroom furnishing his bride with a spotless wedding garment. . When they expect you to ask them for a card number, you could just tell them it's been paid for. Could this work?" I had w wonderful conversation with him and looked at their wedding website and saw their pictures. The love bug has bitten those two!!!
How is that for romantic? And, I had just read the part of Jane Eyre where Edward has declared his love for her. If you haven't read it, see the new movie and then buy the book. Barnes and Noble had it for about $8.00 in hardback.
Tomorrow is another day and more brides in our new shop. We are so excited about new lines and gowns we are getting in.
