I just called Pearl's Place and placed my dress order! She said it should arrive in 3 months, but I'm guessing that's a worst-case-scenario estimate. FYI - the dress in the Alfred Angelo store was $1400 and I'm getting the same dress from Pearl's Place for $800!
In case you need a reminder:

I am starting to feel a bit overwhelmed looking at my ticker (less than 5 months to go?? REALLY??).
I need to lock down a caterer ASAP. I got an amazing quote from a local restaurant and hope to schedule a meeting with them at our venue this week.
Also, I have a 4th (yes, you read that right - FOURTH) job interview with the same company tomorrow and am really hoping this is the last one and that they make me an offer.
Vibes for the correct dress showing up at my doorstep in 3 months or less, finding an awesome caterer, and landing this job would be greatly appreciated!
