Today, it's the day before my friends' wedding. My dress has not yet been shipped from the online shop where I ordered it three weeks ago, the hand-crafted gift that was ordered last month is trapped at customs and my cats have just managed to open the drawer and eat the wedding card. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call that my custom order bridesmaid dress is at the apartment complex I just moved out of. They won’t give it to me because I’m no longer a resident, but they just thought I should know. The wedding’s tomorrow. FML
Today, my maid of honor, who offered to take care of my wedding dress before the D-Day, left it near her open window during heavy rain. My dress is now ruined, and she's backed out due to stress. I'm supposed to be getting married tomorrow. FML
Today, I had to admit that I hate the wedding dress that I've designed. My wedding is in a week. FML
Today, I realised that despite all my careful Christmas preparation, there is one thing I forgot to get. The gift for my wife, which I should've picked up from the shop I ordered it from. It’s sat in that shop right now at 7pm on Christmas Eve. I’m a dead man tomorrow morning. FML
Today, I stretched out my wedding dress on my bed so it could air out before the big day tomorrow. Later I returned to my room only to find my cat on my wedding dress, it peed on it. FML
Today, it is my wedding day. I couldn't find my very expensive wedding dress anywhere. After almost 2 hours of panic and chaos, I found it in my pool, covered in red paint, with a note on one of my lounge chairs reading, "Today is MY wedding day, bitch." FML
Today, I went to pick up my wedding dress from the seamstress, only to find out that my fiancé called two weeks ago to say I wanted the dress "tie-dyed to match our new theme." She believed him. Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me an early wedding present. I opened the box and inside was the most adorable cat I've ever seen! It got scared, jumped out, clawed my face and pissed everywhere. My wedding is tomorrow and I look like Frankenstein's bride. FML
Today, my two closest friends declared that they hated each other. They're my bridesmaids. The wedding is in three weeks. FML
Today, after waiting 3 months, I finally got my wedding dress back from the dry-cleaners. The dry cleaning lasted longer than the marriage. FML

Weddings are not supposed to be fun or easy! They follow Murphy's Law, what can go wrong will go wrong!

I think she won't mind as long as you are there, right?

Your friend will probably be so busy enjoying her day she won't have time to dwell on your late card and present, just let her know it's on the way without making it sound like a massive ordeal. As for your dress, do you have any friends who could lend you something? Or make something in your existing wardrobe work? As long as you don't stick out like a sore thumb everyone is going to be looking at the bride's dress anyway.

Yell and get you wedding dress refund. Yell and talk to supervisor at customs then yell and beat the shit out of ur cats.

You should've ordered it way before that, especially because it's online. One month is not enough time, especially if it's shipping from another country. YDI.

you kinda deserve it for leaving so little time, should always leave at least 2 months for commercially shipped purchases.

That's a sign that you should not go, heed the warnings

When ordering online for a specific date, make sure the site offers guaranteed shipping several days before you need it. Buy a new card, print out a picture of the gift you're waiting on, and explain what's happened. If it were my wedding, I wouldn't be upset, and I definitely wouldn't care which dress you wore.

Are you in the wedding party or just a guest? Sucks to be you if you order online 3 weeks before the event, should've been done much earlier! Not sure what you can do now but if you're a first then just go to dress barn or Burlington or somewhere. If an ordered gift is stuck in customs maybe next time don't buy from overseas.

I don't know if u r in the wedding or not but from what i know being in the bridal party of a couple weddings always buy anything whether in store or online 3 months in advance, always, so this doesn't happen.....jus sayin!

That's why I prefer brick and mortar stores.
