Stain of Doom!!! Or is it?

PROLOGUE

When I was seventeen I found a beautiful white dress that I decided I would buy for my senior homecoming dance. It was on the sales rack at the mall for $7 and fit perfectly. My date for that dance, ironically, is my now fiancé who I am marrying in about a month!

PART ONE: DECISION and STAIN!

I have been a procrastinator concerning the planning of our wedding. In fact, we both have. I fully admit that I was never the girl who was planning her wedding from age 12. After two years of engagement, much moving around the country and wedding plans that have never solidified, my fiancé and I have decided to get married during a previously planned vacation to Las Vegas next month! We are so excited!

Now that our plans have actually been decided on, I decided that it really was time for me to find a dress. I looked through my closet and found that same white dress from my homecoming so long ago. It was still perfect except for one little problem...there was a huge yellow stain splayed out on the front! I had no idea how that had gotten there and was mortified. My perfect $7 dress was on the verge of becoming obsolete! I took the dress down to the dry cleaners and the woman barely glanced at it before saying curtly, "That's never going to come out. Forget wearing that dress. Just go get a new one." My heart dropped. So much for finding the perfect wedding dress in the back of my closet.

PART THREE: HAPPY ENDING

Once I returned home I decided that I wasn't giving up yet! I could home remedy with the best of 'em! I brought out my stain remover and filled a tub full of hot soapy water and got to work. Within 10 minutes the stain was completely out and the dress looked brand new. Take that dry cleaner woman!! Hah! I am thrilled. How many other women get to say that they got their beautiful wedding dresses for $7 and wore it to there senior homecoming and are marrying the man that took them to that dance? Sounds like the perfect wedding dress to me!
