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. :)

Hear, hear!

I wondered the same thing as you when ChuckRo and Jethrien got married, and I remember what you said to me: You did awesome. You sent off your best friend in style.

You had some choice anecdotes, and I feel like I forgot all of mine. But thanks! :)

I almost didn't include any because they felt too inside baseball.

I just didn't know how to start otherwise, so I kept it in.
