I start the story in November. In november I go back to France for choose my wedding dress and when I found it I explained to the vendor, “I don’t live in France so the next time I come back to France it’s only in August.” And she answer me we are closed 3 weeks in August, so OMG when I can keep my dress? And he told me, no problem, the last week in August we are open. You are sure you have time for cut my dress and adjust my dress. I put on my schedule and ok. She reassured me when I go back to France in August I call the shop for confirm if my dress is at the shop. I had an appointment at the 30th August and when I arrived front of the shop, the shop is closed. I say, I’m early, so I wait 10 minutes and I’m with my friend and my husband accompany us. After 10 minutes late, I tried to call the shop, nobody answer, after 30 min I am very stressed, I start to ask around this shop if they know at what time this shop open because no time on the door, open/close… I don’t know how many shops I visited, maybe 25, horrible, because I tried to found something, somebody know this people, the owner, and if they have a phone number or something because my appointment is at 2 o’clock and it’s 3 o’clock and no news. I’m completely desperate. My friend continue I stay with my husband. I can’t cry… I don’t know how to explain this feeling…
