Ready, Waiting and Rescheduled

In 15 minutes I was supposed to go to my final dress fitting with Heart to Heart Bridal. I was all prepared, too. Earlier this week I wrote a long list of items to bring with me. I'm all about lists! Want to see?

• Camera
• Gold shoes (both pairs)
• Veils (my two-tier beaded masterpiece and my to-be-finished birdcage)
• Tape measure (to get the length just right for my two-tier veil)
• Pins (to mark appropriate veil length)
• Necklace
• Earrings
• Spanx-like undergarments
• Make-up to retouch and amp up my work look for pics
• Contacts (again reminder to amp up my normal work look)
• Bridesmaids' wraps and ushers' ties (to double check the color match between these and the ties we picked for the groomsmen and dads)

Whew! See, I was all ready. Sadly, I got a call last night that changed my plans. It seems my seamstress is about to be a grandma again (her daughter was having contractions last night) and the shop owner had a family illness that was going to leave her out of the office. So, the shop kindly called me to suggest we reschedule for another time.

While I'm disappointed that I don't get to see my "pretty" today, I'm glad the shop made the call. I definitely want the best possible experience trying on the dress again after the alterations, and I'd be all nervous if the seamstress wasn't available "just in case."

So, for now my appointment is rescheduled for NEXT Friday afternoon. In the meantime, I'll try to blog about some of the items on that long list up there.

Any of your plans get post-poned or delayed recently? Did you go with the flow?
