I was so excited when Jennifer offered to have dinner with me and go to my fitting.  She told me that she wanted to pay for the alterations as my wedding present.  What a generous gift!  Poor Jennifer, it took her two hours to get to the restaurant!  Some days, the traffic gods are pure evil!

We met at a Thai restaurant near David's Bridal in Rockville.  The food was okay (I've had better), but it was so great to spend time with Jennifer!  And...she treated me to dinner!  Afterward, we drove to the bridal shop - it was only a mile away.  

The seamstress helped me get into the dress which took the bulk of the time.  She put some pins here and there and then we were done.  I can't wait to see the dress once it's altered.  It will be ready to pick up on May 19th.  I was a little shock to discover the alterations were almost as much as the dress!
