A few weeks ago I discovered that on of my cats totally puked on my wedding dress. While other's responses were, "Omigodhow?" "What the fuck?" and "Where did you bury the cat?" I wasn't thrilled, but I pretty much said, "Well, bummer," and moved on.
We pre-soaked the dress. It mostly got better, but there was still a little stain. And I wasn't sad that my dress might not be good enough for the day of, I was sad that I might have to go dress shopping again.
After it got home from the cleaners and it was back to perfect I wasn't relieved. I'm not displeased. I just don't really give a shit.
Is this normal? Is my brain broken? Is this a total waste of a concern?
I've asked some friends... I think they are afraid to give me the wrong answer so they just don't give me any answer.

This is not a problem.
YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

ReplyDeletewas there even really a question?
i love you, letter-writer-lady.
ReplyDeleteesb, i also love your response. it made me LOL.
DeleteI'm mostly confused why she threw her friends in there? What would they be afraid to say? "It doesn't matter if you're not omg-so-excited-girlie-squeal about your dress?"
ReplyDeletePretty much what I needed to hear, actually.
DeleteI don't think I'd squee if a cat puked on my dress either, but I do think I'd squee if the puke stain disappeared and no one could tell. Also, move along. There isn't a problem, don't make it a problem.
ReplyDeleteSay what? I want my fifteen seconds back, letter-writer.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest putting a brooch on the stain, but... there wasn't a stain. Whatevers cool man.
ReplyDeletei'm so confused.
ReplyDeleteThe headline's so great it doesn't matter that this email was a bunch of nothing.
ReplyDeleteHey Bride: You are seriously super cool for not losing your head about the cat barf.
Letter-writer here. I am absolutely laughing at myself right now. Sorry if I wasted your time asking this question. People make a big deal about how goddamn important the dress is and I just didn't care about what happened to mine. You are right, there is no problem.
ReplyDeleteGetting married is fucking with my brain, I think. Expectations of over the top reactions sort of resulted in me thinking that I was doing something wrong by staying sane. And then started making me crazy.
DUDE. DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT A MIN OF 24 HOURS TO CHECK IN SO EVERYBODY CAN YELL AT YOU/MAKE FUN OF YOU/CHEER YOU ON?
Deletebuzzkill.

DeleteI'll delete it if you want? You can still make fun and yell at me if you want.. I mean... its the Internet, right?
Deletewhatevers
DeleteI think this quote applies.
Deletethank god there's a CAT BARF tag now. that'll come in handy
ReplyDeleteAw, the cat just wanted to be part of YOUR SPECIAL DAY!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what the reaction would be on other wedding blogs/on episodes of bridal gown tv shows. LOL 4ever.
Dear Amanda, you are cool and don't let the cray make you feel like you're cray for being non-cray! Ya dig?
ReplyDeleteso i think we know how the cat feels about this wedding
ReplyDeleteMan, my cat was puking all night and I got no sleep. This has improved a seriously pukey day. Thanks ESB - topical as always.
ReplyDeleteI think letter writer should take this and send to all wedding blogs she can find, and then post a list of their responses for us to laugh at.
ReplyDeleteI would do this... is that wrong?
Delete-letter-writer
