Well, I'm back.

feiran  and ecmyers  are married. The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. As with all weddings that aren't at all problem during the ceremony/reception, all the drama took place before and after. Before, I and moonlightalice railed against the injustice of tailors that are overpaid to do a shit job while she resewed the lining in my dress and stitched another

I bungled more - I thought feiran's stepmother was her aunt, etc! Q makes a social gaffe, take a drink! Oh wait, don't! That'll make it worse!!!

I hope you took photos of the bridesmaid dresses before you repaired them - that could be evidence if you do decide to take this to small claims court.

I thought your speech was fantastic. It was funny and true. It followed up hslayer's nicely (and Ben's speech made me tear up)!

Lovely wedding. You and moonlightalice did good!

We took some photos, but not all. I don't know yet what to do about it. At the very least, I will leave reviews on business sites to complain and I will probably call them to express my displeasure. The thing is that the worst issue was not something they could really be blamed for: the cheap-ass zipper that came with the dress is the reason we had to sew the one dress.

Thanks for the kindly words about the speech. I never really practice because I have a bad habit of getting stuck in a script if I do. I then have the opposite problem of being rambling and unstructured. Hopefully, I kept that to a minimum.

It was a really good speech. It was funny and touching and complimentary to them both. Both of you did very well, I think.

Thank you both for saying as much. I'll deconstruct it in my nightmares forever probably regardless, but I'm glad I didn't completely embarrass myself. :)

I thought your speech was great! I know I tease you mercilessly about the one you gave at my wedding, but that's just because I am endlessly entertained that you managed to get up there and be funny and charming on zero notice. :P

Those dresses are going to give me nightmares for all time.

Each time I do that, all I can think is of the things I left out. Which is why it feels like I just made fun of Carrie and you for three minutes and then peaced out.

These dresses are a nightmare. I vote that we donate what we can to charity and then get the group together for a bonfire for your dress (unless you're going to be good, get it repaired, and then donate it, in which case, we can burn other dresses we hate in effigy).
