If you want to go to your wedding naked, shop at Jay West. Long story short, the girls and I went to Jay West to order the bridesmaids dresses back in November and now I found out the dresses were never ordered. It was definitely the store's mistake for holding the order since they "thought Natalee and Bella were bridesmaids." After several frustrating phone calls with the manager and then finally the store owner, I finally managed to get a rush order on the dresses and a semi decent apology. Still not happy that they won't do anything else for messing up my order.
Now the dresses won't be here until June and I am not happy about that. I obviously planned to have them way earlier than that! The girls have been good sports about it. Complaining and being angry with me about how Jay West has treated us. Consoling me that everything will work out. I know everything will be fine. I just didn't expect a bump in the road yet, especially during the already stressful week of PARRC and parent teacher conferences.
So this was my one bridezilla moment, which I am assured by all that I'm totally justified in having.

Danny, my mom, and I took a trip to our florist, Bloom Floral and Events, to see the flower samples and I loved all of them. I think I did pretty good job of choosing three different designs that are still coordinated. I can't reveal what the flowers look like but I can describe the design as simple, yet modern and elegant. There will be a lot of fuchsia orchids, which are my favorite flowers!
I'm so glad we chose Bobby. He aims to please and he actually said that he likes that I'm a picky bride and that I pay attention to detail. It helps him know what I like so he can make my day look beautiful. I don't think many people would say they like a picky bride!
Seeing the flowers was definitely a win for me. I'd been feeling stressed because of the bridesmaids dress issue.
Spring Break Came and Went 04/09/2015 I want to say I accomplished a whole lot during spring break as far as wedding planning but that would be a lie. Thanks to all the snow we got this winter spring break was shortened by one day. I spent most of the time registering for gifts and apartment hunting. The two kind of go hand in hand. Both are stressful and require a lot of research. At the same time, both remind me that soon this little birdie will fly from the nest. Well if we get our first choice apartment, then my mom said this little birdie is only hopping away from the best since the apartment is right around the corner from my house! I didn't do much for my own wedding but I did help my cousin Uyen accomplish something very important for her wedding. She said yes to her dress! I should consider being a wedding planner, seeing as how I enjoy weddings so much I'm planning two at the same time! |

Danny, Alex, and I picked out all the formalwear for the groomsmen! They'll be wearing the Vera Wang Black tux and I can't wait to see how fancy they look! Who can resist a handsome man in a suit?

Thank you to all my family and friends for making what I thought was going to be an ordinary 28th birthday special! It was full of surprises. This time next year, I will no longer be a Miss Ho, but a Mrs. Vargas!
