Zoo Fun

Yesterday Jenn and I travelled to Mississauga to David's Bridal for her dress alterations AND to choose bridesmaids dresses. The store was packed from the moment we arrived... 10:30am until we left...3pm. Yes folks we were there for 4 1/2 hours!

The alterations took longer than we thought. Apparently she chose a "complicated" dress and the alteration bill verified that. Her girls were such sports and tried on numerous dresses. In the end the dress they liked the most we couldn't get in on time. We didn't realize we needed at least 12 weeks for delivery. However when we got home we ordered the dresses from the Fort Myers store and were assured delivery late Feb. early March. I'll have to appeal to the goodwill of friends close to there to pick them up for us.

What was neat about the day, among other things, was the excitement in the air at the store. Each bride who decided this was her dress would ring the bell and most people in the store would clap and cheer. So many brides and so many dresses, each looking beautiful.The challenge with so many bridesmaids around was we would see them try on dresses we liked but they didn't look the same on our girls.

Patience was the virtue of the day for everyone. But I stayed in that place of amazement and joy and allowed  myself to get caught up in the fun and excitement despite the moments of having to calm and reassure the girls.

Life really is about attitude. Your attitude will make or break an experience. Don't you agree?
