So Mom, Brenda and I made the trip to join up with Amber. She had picked a site for her reception and wanted us to look at it. So we piled in the car and headed over to the Modern Woodsman Park, where the Quad City River Bandits play. They are a baseball team, a farm team for the St Louis Cardinals.
The place provides a huge area with many options and many places for a bar. Amb has free reign to do about anything, but remove the Yankee Jersey's from the wall. It seems like a cool place and the events coordinator is great to work with.
Then since we were all together and Amb had yet to try on any wedding dresses, we set out for a bridal store. Unfortunatley for us David's Bridal was the only place open. We walked in the door and registered Amb, but our consultant was still on lunch, so we had to wait for her. In the mean time we were told to look around at the gowns. I pulled some bridesmaids gowns that Amb thought she might like and I was carrying them around. Well apparently that is forbidden there. The dresses were torn from my grip and hung on rack. I was asked if we had been helped, as we need to be working with a consultant, and the consultant would help us get a dressing room. We also needed to check in, becuase the lady at the front plans the whole day. There are like 35 dressing rooms there and 5 were in use. Jesh lady, ever heard about word of mouth advertising????? YOU SUCK!!!!!! SO needless to say the consultant finally helped us and I never was able to retrieve my bridesmaid gowns. So I would suggest not buying anything from David's Bridal, they are mean!
However, Amb was able to try on some gowns, she liked a few hated a few, and I was able to take some pictures. So at least the process has started. She is feeling very overwhelmed.
