"You fatter, yes?"

Well I finally had my first fitting...... and it was interesting ...... what is the one thing a bride to be just doesn't want to ever hear? The ultimately most ridiculous comment that could be said to a woman preparing for her wedding day????? Four months prior to her wedding day, after months of new yoga/pilate memberships, countless facials, shake meal replacements........ does not want to hear........"You fatter...yes?" As soon as I walked into the store I was slapped in the face by my cute little TINY dress maker with this unsettling question. As my mouth draped open, I found myself searching for excuses..... ummm it is that time of the month, oh I just returned from a long weekend of drinking and eating...... ummmm really... you think I am fatter????? Then the anger set in.... why am I explaining myself to this lady...I am NOT FATTER! Just get out the dress will yah!!! I lightly walked to the back room to try on this shell of a dress that would somehow become the dress of my dreams...... at this point I have to take all my clothes off in-front of "You fatter, yes?" not the first thing I wanted to do at that moment., but I did it... proudly ....I pulled the giant white bag over my head, because a bag is what it looked like at this point and stepped out........ at that moment I was feeling like a giant, squishy, puffy marshmallow bride! Stay puff was peaking in the window ready to take Ak out of the running as groom to be. Uneasily I asked "Can we please ummm look at the picture again......I just don't know if this is heading in the right direction." The girl grabs the picture from my file and I go through explaining how I want the dress to look exactly like the picture.... no straps, no crystals, no bows.... no no no no no! Please picture me in you head right now all puffed out and white in the middle of 3 teeny tiny Thai ladies as they pinch, pin, prod and speak THAI! I just held on to my picture.....I squeezed the picture, I hugged the picture, I pushed the picture in their faces. "Just like the picture!" All they did was smile, yes yes just like the picture.....I have been assured. Well I am to return Wednesday for another dose of Thai honesty to my weakening ego. Till then...... love you. Miss you all!
