My disappointment on a veil.....

Aright since the boards have been slow I'll share my stupidity story.....

So I go to this place to get my pedi done, well the owner has expanded and she's hired assistants. Well I've gotten to know the one assistant, well a few months back the owner started asking me if I had gotten my veil, tiara and other accessories, I told her "NO" and that I was hoping to go to DT LA or maybe find some stuff online cux you can find treasure sometimes. The owner was like "oh don't buy anything online its so expensive go to DT LA etc etc"

Well the assistant was like I got married 2 yrs ago and I got a cathedral veil for $10 in mexico. She stated it was a plain veil with nothing on it and it was very long, I thought "SCORE"! 

I've truly fallen in LOVE with that one pic of Vans with her veil all flowy in the air, so I want a pic  tooEmbarassed Just in case you don't know what pic I'm taking about...

ok my dream pic....so this is why I was interested in this veil. 

So this past friday I go in for my pedi she's like "oh I have your veil" 

Ladies, when she pulled the veil out...I was MUTE! STUNNEDSurprised....god only knows what my facial expression was because she was like you don't like it?

It was the MOST UGLIEST THING I've ever seen, its yellow with creme paper flowers and it has a creme border.  I think what got me were the paper flowers.  I could NOT believe it...I felt obligated to take it, then she processed to tell me it was $25, it was so painful to hand over the $.  I dare not even take a pic of it, it just doesn't even deserve it. 

It looks like an 80's veil, when I came home without telling my mom anything I just showed it to her, she said "oh is FI's grandmother letting you borrow her veil" girls I just started to tear up. 

Advice: As much as you think it's a good deal someone is offering you, don't do it. It comes in bites u  in the butt later! I regret it so much, I basically threw away $25 and now have to find a replacement. To this cheap veil will be a very expensive veil now. NO WAY would I wear it!!

The dog thought it was FAB cux she immediately laid on it.

This is what I've found as a replacement...i'm hesitant to hit the "buy now" button. 



This could only happen to meCry

    Soooooo sorry that happeded.  I would have done the same thing and given her the money too - I would have probably cried at the same time.  Just remember if you show her any pictures of your wedding - try not to show her any with you and the veil - she will probably ask you why didn't you use her veil.

    But at least you should have some comfort in hitting the buy now button since okami.mami brought hers from them!

    Oh nooo! So sorry this happened to you! If you want...I totaly offer you my veil! but I don't remember in what conditions its in. I'm sure it'll look new if you wash it. Gosh, you should'nt really feel obligated into buying somthing you dont like...especially if it was something she didnt describe. Mine is just a plain wihte long veil. No nothing on it. I just got it for that....the pictures. Keep this offer in mind Smile

    okamimami- That makes me really happy!!!! Laughing

    Vans-Really?! That is so sweet of you Smile I will keep that in mind...I know you shouldn't feel obligated, but I also feel like maybe I should maybe explained better BUT I did!!! I repeated myself over and over and over...but for some reason I feel like it's my fault and I didn't explain maybe a way she understood me. FI doesn't undestand spanish so he says all I heard was a bunch of chit chat and you saying this this this NO!

    I  feel stupid like I should of taken a picture and said this is what I want. But I didn't and I SWEAR ladies never again will I do that!!!! I've learned my lesson!

    I think that we can all say that we spent something on our weddings that we never ended up using, or that totally wasn't our style... just think... there are people out there who choose a dress that isn't their style.  So consider yourself lucky - it was only a $25 mistake!
