Dress going from point A to point B...FI and I don't agree

I'm not really sure where exactly to post this question but this seemed like a good spot. So a little back story...we are having 2 ceremonies. One Cambodian, one American. The Cambodian ceremony will be on one side of town in the morning. The American will be on the other side of town in the afternoon. Only my immediate family will be at the Cambodian ceremony.

I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to get my dress to the American ceremony. If I take it with me to the morning ceremony, I will have nowhere to put it. Which means it will have to stay in the car, and get wrinkled. Not what I want. I also thought about having one of my BM's take it the night before and take it with them to the country club where the American ceremony will be. And it's not that I don't trust my BM's but they all have young children and pets and I would hate for something to happen to it.

My FI on the other hand thinks I should just take it to the country club the night before and have them keep it there, overnight. I don't know why but that just doesn't sit well with me. He insists this is our only option but really, I don't want to leave my dress in the hands of complete strangers.

Am I really making this too difficult? Lol...maybe I am so stressed that I'm not seeing the clear answer here....any help?

    Do you have a non-immediate family member that you trust to take the dress to the country club in the morning? I wouldn't leave it at the country club overnight though, I'd find someone to take it in the morning or run it there myself before I got ready for the first ceremony.

    I would prefer to just take the dress there myself but I will need to begin getting ready at 6:30 that morning so that won't work. All of my non-immediate family members are from out of town and won't be arriving until later...that was a good suggestion though. Hmm...I could see if our wedding planner could take it but she is also transporting all of the flowers. Dang this one little detail is really stressing me out : (

    If you have a wedding planner I'd tell her your concerns and see if she has any suggestions. It's nice of you to consider taht she's doing other things, but it's her job to make sure little details (like the dress being where it's supposed to be) get done.

    Not the same as taking it to the country club but the women in my bridal party all took their gowns to the church when we went for rehearsal the evening before. We left them there and all dressed at the church.  It was fine but it was a church and in a small town and I never gave it a thought that someone might bother our stuff and no one did.  I would think the country club could lock your dress in an office over night for you.

    My first thought was the same as your FH's. I'd take it to the country club the day/night before. I'm assuming they have a bridal suite where it can be safely left until you arrive. If not, I'm sure they have some other private place where it can be kept safely. Have you spoken with them?
