WEDDING PART I
Well I drank... And drank.... And OH... I drank some more! LOL
Ok so I am not a big drinker... I never have been but I did drink more that I usually do...
Lemme start at the beginning. The very best place to start....
I got to the dress shop in Plymouth and discovered that my dress alterations were not just $115 as planned but much much more! $200 to be exact. Add that to the actual cost of the dress which was $169. So total cost for the dress itself was $369... that truly was alot more than I ever even considered spending on any event... But ok so the dress was nice... Color was great...
My jaw dropped to the floor and I paid them for the dress... so that was the first surprise of the day... which was on Saturday.
I had previously on Friday gotten my manicure and pedicure here in town so that I didn't have to pay $65 for both where the other girls went. So I am trying to cut my costs where I can because I am not well off at the moment and don't have money to just throw at anyone ya know. So the girls were still getting their nails and what not done while I picked up my dress. I called them to see when they were going to be done... Danielle picks up Rochelle's phone... Rochelle is the Bride and Danielle is the evil "Maid of honor" who doesn't act honorable. So she answers the phone and says "WHAT!"...
Obviously she knows it was me cause my name comes up on her cell as duh Sharee... All I wanted to know was... is it ok for me to try to check into the hotel early while you are still busy out there. I ask her to ask Rochelle this and Danielle gives me the attitude as usual and says give me a sec... so all I hear is her hand on the talk area of the phone so that I cannot hear what she is saying... So I don't get the answer to my question I get a direct order...
She says that Rochelle will meet me at the hotel when she gets there. She fuckin hung up the phone after that... Ok so I am still calm cool and collected and I wait in the parking lot of the hotel and wait and fuckin wait... it was over an hour and by the schedule they were an hour late... I finally gave up and walked into the lobby and just asked if I could check in early and they said yes... so I did.
So I get up to the room and just drop off the dress and what not so that I am not worried about getting out and doing it later after the rehearsal dinner... I get a call from Danielle and she says that were supposed to be meeting at the Olive Garden for a quick lunch... I go down to the lobby and Rochelle is there waiting for me so that was cool. I follwed her to the restaurant only to discover we have less than a half hour to eat and then get ready for the rehearsal. Danielle and her nicer sister Nicole were already eating and had ordered for Rochelle and I and we just had the soup and salad thing. So we hurried and I paid for lunch. No big deal cause I didn't get those expensive nails done...
So we went to the hotel and of course I am ready for the rehearsal because I didn't know if I was going to be able to check in or not... and I also live 2 hours from Livonia. Ok so I go back up to my room and just brush my teeth and make sure my makeup is still on straight lol... And i get into my car and drive to where we are having the wedding. I sit there for a good half hour before anyone shows up...
If you are going to type up a schedule for people to follow... are you not yourself supposed to follow it?
So after everything got going the rehearsal went well.
We went to Genitti's Hole in the wall in Northville for the dinner and that was awesome...
I had a great time with a few of Rochelle's friends... Randy and Scooter (David) Scooter was the groomsman that walked with me down the aisle... and Randy is his wife. She was also Rochelle's wedding planner...
I went back to the hotel and put my jammies on at around 9pm and relaxed for a few minutes till I got a phone call that they other girls wanted to go to a movie... At first I said yes, but then after i stood up and realized that it was now like 10pm and I had worked Friday night and we had to be up before 8am to make it to our hair appointments at 11am... For me I just couldn't swing it... I was so tired...
So I am relaxing and justunpacking and I lay down to go to bed and there is a friggin knock at the door just as I was drifting off... Rochelle's mom had asked the front desk people to put a box of Godiva Chocolates on her pillow for her. So I called her and of course she was still out at the movie and her phone was off and I left a message on the voicemail that if she got in before 1 or 130am to just come up and get it or I will give it to herin the morning... So I waited and then finally at 130am I went to bed. So I ended up stayin up anyway and again waiting on other people.
I slept well...
