The other night, my bridesmaid Snarky (NOT to be confused with Snooki) and I stopped in another shop to look at more dresses. We were greeted by this sweet little lady who started the tour of the shop by telling me to think it was my own walk in closet. Since I had gone in to work at 6:00 that morning, I was already a little punchy, so I looked at Snarky and said "I'll do my best not to change by the front door." Well, let me assure you that the rest of the appointment was downhill from there.
Sweet little lady - let's call her Gertrude (to protect her real identity), took what felt like a year to show us around the shop and tell us the order of the dresses. Then she kept apologizing that she may have to answer the phone or help other people. I was instantly relieved that she would not be able to spend the whole time in the dressing room with us. Then we would have to be on our best behavior and really, what fun would that be??
So Gertrude told Snarky that she should pick out a dress or two that she liked and would be something I wouldn't pull. I just need to be sure to tell you that when I tried that one on, Snarky started laughing and told me it looked like I had been attacked by some animal. Then Gertrude brought me one to try on and while it was on she kept talking about how sophisticated I looked in the dress. As soon as she was out the door, I looked at Snarky and told her we just found the theme of the wedding - Sarcasm and Sophistication.
As we were leaving, Gertrude was going on and on again about how she was sorry the evening had been so crazy, and as I was asking her to write down the dress info, she turned around and hugged me.
