What a Week (bad news)!

Well this week has been both the best week in my life and the worst week in my life! let me just begin, so I made my wedding dress a year ago for the wedding and because we were getting sealed on the 21st i took it to the cleaners to get cleaned, a week later i went to go pick it up and it was ruined!!! they had melted my entire dress! i juat started bawling like crazy and asking how this happened it had been cleaned before and nothing had happened! i said this was so expensive and i designed and made it myself this is 100% silk and it is ruined it looked all marble and veins all over it and it was so thin. the owner of the cleaners said oh it was 100% silk? um ya he had cleaned it in the washer with water and it was so bad! so after my mother in law and sister in law and mom and husband all came down and were so furious with the man he said he would pay to get it fixed and that he had insurance, so i got on the phone and called Nancy Barrus who i had interned with down in provo she makes custom wedding gowns and i told her the situation and said to come down right now. My mom and i drove down and i tried it on and it is 2 inches from closing it had shrunk so much and so she said they would have to make me and entire new dress just the same but start again. She called in 5 people to come in and work all day and night to get this done! by the time we got home that night we had 20 minutes to get ready and get to the temple for our endowments! they were amazing! and the next day i was down in provo all day getting fitted and they were working like crazy! by 12:30 a.m. i was on my way home with a dress! i am was juat so sick about the whole thing i mean i had put 3 months into my dress and so much money! it was my master peice! the best thing i had ever made!

What dry cleaners did you go to? I don't ever want to use them. Sorry about your dress. I'm glad you were able to get a new one. Congrats on the temple.

Love ya!
