Ok, I'm going to take a page from Brittney's Blog here and keep a running tally of my pre-wedding breakdowns, because today.... I had my first.
It was minor, but all of a sudden I felt panicked,
lost,
afraid that the plans i had weren't going to happen!
I had a few tears, nothing too dramatic; I was at work people so i had to keep it under control.
If i'd been at home, i imagine this would have gone down a little different...
Anyway, Over the weekend I ordered our engagement pictures!
Perfect timing considering the fact that our ENGAGEMENT PARTY is on Friday:)
I was worried about the timing, what if they didn't make it to my house in Denver before i fly to KC? So i had them shipped home to my parents. I've been collecting some frames, and i'm envisioning a cute little table full of our engagement pictures.
What else do you do with engagement pictures?
I've been thinking about this a lot...
you get the pics, its a good practice for the BIG DAY
(you know, getting comfortable in front of the camera- smiling with your eyes and such... thank you americas next top model, i feel after watching several episodes & taking detailed mental notes on tyra's advice, it really prepared me for the shoot, just a note for all you future brides)
But, after a few months you'll get your wedding pictures-
& aren't those the pics you want hanging in your house?
What happens to the engagement pictures?
I don't know? This really confuses me!
Anyway, back to the breakdown....
Monday i get an email confirming the pictures have been printed and shipped to my parents address. YAY! I bought the 2 day shipping package so i know they'll be there by friday- perfect.
TODAY(tues) i get an email saying the pics have been printed and sent to my denver address, arrival date- FRIDAY!
What? I thought they were shipped yesterday? I fly our friday morning- this is not enough time!
Where is their number!?! I'm calling!
But If they're already printed and shipped it's too late, they would need to print more pictures and have them overnighted! I'll end up with two sets of pictures?
Oh well, this is their mistake it has to be fixed!
I get on the phone- freaking out- these people are taking advantage of me and i'm not going to stand for it.
Get on the phone, state my case, & the lady says-
"there must be some mistake, they WERE shipped yesterday to the Kansas Address"
"Oh"- i say.
"i'm confused, i just got an email from UPS saying that my shipment was sent today and would arrive at my denver address Friday?"
As i am saying this it hits me!
That shipping confirmation was for our save the date magnets not the engagement pictures!
I totally forgot we ordered save the dates last week, they were being printed,
and now, of course-
they're being shipped!!!
I feel embarrassed and relieved all at the same time.
should i admit my mistake to picture printing lady? I pretty much set the tone from the start that i was NOT HAPPY.
should i admit my mistake? Explain this silly little coincidence?
Nope.
"oh well, i guess we will just have to wait and see"
i tell her,
"maybe UPS has it wrong?"
Oops...
