Dear Weddingbee,I am not a bride to be (I am far too young in my opinion!), but a very good friend of mine is getting married in October. I am a bridesmaid. My cousin is the maid of honor, and has scheduled the bridal shower to be on the first weekend of September. Unfortunately, I already have plans!! I am in a long distance relationship, and live 3.5 hours from “him” and get to see him every month and a half (we are full time students that don’t get much time off from work/school). The time we do get together is special.Here’s my question: Should I skip the bridal shower and send a gift? Or…attend the bridal shower, and be miserable because I don’t get to see my guy until October for the wedding? I am very tempted to skip out on the shower, because I start my senior year of college in September and won’t be able to get any time off! I asked my cousin if she could change the date, but she didn’t give me an answer and I felt VERY selfish asking her to change it for me!Help!C

Mr. Lemon is a brave and adventurous soul. While I’m enjoying a mother/daughter pilgrimage to the holyland of college football (Notre Dame), he’ll be on his own mission. By his own suggestion, he is driving up to Monterey this weekend to visit with florists, DJs and priests (oh my!) all by his lonesome self.You see, Mr. Lemon is very excited about getting married, and he’s really into planning a wonderful event. While certain elements don’t excite him much, he’s very determined to contribute all that he can. I wholeheartedly trust his judgement in aesthetically pleasing florists – essentially he’s just scouting and getting some basic pricing for me to be able to narrow down the list of candidates.As for DJs, well, he’s been working on our reception playlist for months and knows exactly what he wants in our master of ceremonies. And last but not least, he’s the Catholic one, so it’s only appropriate that he meets with the priest and the deacon to introduce himself to the church.All of these wedding tasks are enough for him to take on in a weekend, but he’s signed himself up for one final encompassing challenge: my dad. That’s right, he volunteered to do some future father-in-law bonding all on his own! What a guy!Has your fiance taken an active role in planning your wedding?

I ordered dresses that I thought were going to be perfect as our bridesmaid dresses. They fit perfectly on all of the girls – except one. So it’s back to the drawing board.I’ve been frantically trying to search for another dress, but I can’t find another off-the-rack dress that I like! So I’ve decided to give in and go the order route:
I’m going to order them in the Ice Blue above.Now, where to order them from? RK Bridal quoted me $152, while Perfect Bridal (thanks SparHeel!) quoted me around 20 dollars less! I know RK has a price guarantee, but you have to give them a print copy of the quote I think? Perfect Bridal will only quote over the phone….Does anyone know of any other reputable online retailers?
