I have no recovered enough from the dress incident to update! heres what has happened since...
You know how in my last post I said I was glad I had all the bad luck and not the bride? I think I really must be cursed or something because her time came aorund very soon after the event - in the form of her honeymoon.
She was due to leave for sunny Florida on saturday, then on friday I was watching the news when all of a sudden it was revealed that the airline she was travelling with had gone bust and passengers flying with them had been left stranded in various places around the world and there would be no more flights. I was gutted for her. Luckily they had paid for the flight by credit card so could claim back the money they'd paid and find another airline to go with but still they've last 5 days of their honeymoon which is still a bit sad.
Oh yes and a little good news! The day after the wedding my mum and I were were sat starring helplessly at the remains of my dress when all of a sudden we had a breakthrough. it came with a belt! There is just enough material in the belt to fix the dress! Hooray! I was so happy I felt like crying again, I used to scoff at everything that came with a belt but at this moment in time I could not possibley be happier that someone invented them. I actually love them.
Even so it will not be fixed in time for graduation which is on the 26th (argh I'm so nervous!) so I just had to go out and buy a new one hehe. Its nowhere near as expensive (or nice for that matter, but hey it would take a lot of beating) but its pretty, its cream satin with pink and black polka dots and I've really grown fond of it - though I am trying not to become too attached at this moment in time. I apid for itusing the money I maid selling family portraits at the wedding. I set up a mini studio at the reception and snapped family portraits of all the guests, I didn't charge very much because its the first time i've ever doen a job on my own so I just made sure it would be enough to cover printing and postage (about $6 a print) I made 100 ($200) profit! I was so happy I never imagined I'd make that much!
I have another wedding to go to this week. Luckily I'm just a guest this time but I'm still dreading it. Clearly me and weddings do not mix (another jinx?) but hey all I have to do this time is sit there right?
Thank you to everyone who left a nice ocmment on my last post, it meant a lot after all that. I look back now and realise it must have looked a little dramatic and really not that bad considering all the other bad shit going on in the world but I've been waaaay sensitive lately for some reason!
Anyway hope everybody is well and dandy

I shall explain about post secret in my next blog.
Very bad luck for your friends honeymoon. It obviously proves that their marriage is doomed to fail and you were right all along. WIN.
Ingenious way of fixing the dress - yay you! Good luck for your graduation at the weekend.... you must post pictures
