Don't Harass the Tall Girl

Scene 22: Brides by Demetrios

What is the worst fear for a 6'5" bride-to-be? Just take a guess.... If you guessed special ordering her wedding dress w/ 5.5 extra inches of length, and it finally coming back TWO INCHES TOO SHORT, well then you're exactly right! Welcome to my nightmare..

Saturday I went for my first fitting, and that's exactly what happened to me. As I'm standing there, in shock, wondering how they're going to fix this problem, bridal shop manager Captain Obvious, says:

Cpt. Obvious: This dress runs a little short...
Me: Great.
Cpt. Obvious: And you're really tall... I mean, you are REALLY TALL.
Me: Yeah, I know.

The rest of the conversation was a blur.. To be honest, I was just trying not to freak out. The story is that they're going to do some magical alterations to make the dress longer and I won't notice any difference and it won't cost me a thing. I'll believe it when I see it.
