I'm not a prize to be won

I have joined this wedding forum where bride to be and newly wed brides come to discus all things wedding. It has made me realize how weird sales ladies at bridal shops can be. This post will detail every weird encounter I've had with a sales lady to date.

I am NOT wearing a veil at my wedding. I dont believe in what it stands for (submission to your husband or even farther back than that- hiding the bride so the hubby to be wouldnt run away) and I know thats not what people see it as these days but they still give me an inky feeling. Also, I dont want to feel like Anthony will be unwrapping me. I may be giving myself to him and thats the best present but he is also giving himself to me. So I told every shop lady at every dress store this when they suggest i try on a veil. Most just immediately go to tiaras. this one lady ... the conversation went like this

SL: "oh that dress is just beautiful on you! Now lets put it all together with a veil"

ME: oh no veil for me

SL: *stops mid step and gasps* WHAT?! no VEIL?

ME: yeah i dont really believe in them

SL: *spew* WHY NOT!?

ME: dont want to be unwrapped by FH

SL: *silence* Well why dont you just try it on anyway?!

..... some people just dont get it.

So as you all know, Im not a skinny girl. I have some curves on me. Which makes my size in a wedding dress rather on the higher end. I walked into Demitrios bridal with an appointment and they act like I dont have one. Then I say... well do you have samples in my size and they say... oh we can try them on for you... WHA? no way in hell! then i say show me the dresses in my size (after wandering around aimlessly for like 20 mins) and they show me one. they acted like bitches the whole time... hello wedding dresses arnt cheap. treat me like im about to spend several thousand in your store.

@ davids bridal i showed them dresses i like and they bring me similar ones that they have in my size i put one on...

ME:hmm idk if i like this skirt

SL: yeah its got pick ups

ME: yeah and this waist isnt working for me

SL: well its the same waist as this dresses you said you liked except it points up instead of down.

ME:....yeah so its not the same.

(anything for a sale)

for all you potential brides out there STAY AWAY FROM DEMITRIOS AND DAVIDS BRIDAL they dont care about you as a person just your money and they will lie to you to make the sale. I got my dress from Terry Costa. but the best customer service and beautiful dresses were at ALFRED ANGELO :)
