this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I picked my wedding dress up from the tailor's this afternoon. I tried it on to be sure the length was right (SPOILER: it is), and the little Greek seamstress's husband was there and told me I was beautiful and asked if I was married.
"This is her WEDDING DRESS!" The seamstress said.
"Ah," said the husband. "Tell your husband he's lucky he got to you first!"
I opted to not point out he already had a wife. Cutiehead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw. That's the part of wedding planning that helps makes up for the awful parts.

Although -- I didn't think about this before -- the dress has no zipper; I can't step into it, but have to pull it over my head. Which is no big deal in general, but -- I'm getting my hair done at 11 a.m., and not going to wear my dress all day (obvs.). So...how do I pull my dress over my head so as to keep my poofy hairdo from getting fucked up?
(NO ONE answer "carefully.")
Would putting a scarf over my hair first help?

Aw!
Coworker Chad for the win: not only did he make gestures and grin as I walked past a long distance away, then when we were in the same space, he said, "Your new haircut is adorable!" (Chad also wears a bowtie. He is a sweetie.)

Yay Chad!
There's a craft beer bar/comic book store in the works here that's going to be called "My Parents' Basement."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, I would need the help of someone taller than me to ease the dress over my hair. To be honest, I need that all the time.

I, uh, am too body conscious to let anyone help. My mother is bone thin and always has been, and my size has always been a point of contention between us, and I will be damned if I stress myself more on my wedding day by letting her see my in my bra and undies. I just can't do it.
So I'm putting the dress on by myself in the large bathroom of the B&B's bedroom, for the sake of my sanity.

Tep, can you have a friend your size to help? (btw, I empathize. same stuff going on for me, with less volume to the contention).
