- Look, I brought my wedding dress!
My mother could not be more proud while handing me the dress of her most beautiful day, perfectly preserved. I look at him at the height of desperation: how do I explain to her that her dress is fantastic, but
a) E 'at most forty, or me there would come a calf.
b) has a high neck lace (oh Jesus ..) and is studded with exuberant pink flowers as big as grapefruits, tulle, satin or [@##° that I know, on what was once a skirt to Disney.
c) In essence it seems that the designer who has designed it knew of fashion as far as I know of particle accelerators.
And I should marry ... NOW! Shit.
- Mom, this dress does not fit. No later than in there.
- Do not want my wedding dress?
- No, Mama, do not put on this plane. It 's wonderful, but not before it's too tight.
- I think you should try ... E 'rubber band!
I'm desperate. My wonderful boyfriend is already waiting for me to church and I'm here, wearing a purple fleece overalls, slippers and a haircut with sheep at ground zero. And I have not a shred of clothing to wear.
course burst into tears. Stramerda shit. The happiest day of my life becomes a total failure because "I forgot" to choose the dress.
- Come on, come on. You can put this just for today. Search
to comfort my mother, as if "at the forthcoming marriage" things could get better.
- Mom, do not understand. I wanted a beautiful dress: light golden, very sexy, with a red strap and red shoes. I dream all my life, [@##°. But I forgot. I can not put your dress because I'm not there then it would always be "your dress, not mine. I will never marry, never ever. Nobody wants to marry someone who forgets to pick a dress [@##°! And even that comes in a sweater and jeans to church.
confess that the idea flashed in my mind for me is a second or two, accompanied by subtle excuse: well, if you really loved me would want to marry me, not my dress, right?
- you'll see that everything can be fixed.
seee, right. I bet he also told his mother the daughter of Marie Antoinette as the crowd swept into the square. My mother puts a hand on his shoulder. He wants to console me, but does not understand. He does not understand that my life is ruined forever, because I am leaving my wonderful boyfriend alone in church, waiting in vain for a living wonder that never comes. What would be the right choice: dig a hole and sotterrarcisi inside until the next ice age or so to go to church in jeans and a sweater, apologizing for the delay?
- so I can not get married, Mom. I can not, I can not.
- But why can not you? I told you that the dress is elastic. Try it. Then why do you want the red shoes? I've never seen anybody get married in the red shoes.
As if that meant no one has proven scientifically that it is impossible. He says this as if afraid that I would take fire to his feet just trying to cross the threshold of a church with a pair of red shoes.
I seem to hit a wall of rubber and I feel, for this reason, completely, deeply distressed immeasurably to the anguish that grips your throat like a pack of pit bulls with anger. The only person I would like to talk about is my boyfriend. I would cry on them as I usually do, but this time its not possible. Certainly not comfort me because I'm covering the face of ridicule to all the relatives and an unknown number of friends.
Somehow we find ourselves suddenly in the center, a store of wedding dresses. The owner, who seems to be the actress of "Legally Blonde", try to console me by saying that yes, a dress for me will find it in no time at all. I almost feel better in the middle of that riot of pink velvet, which is the room where we are accommodated.
- what size ports, dear?
- A forty-four.
The selling of wedding dresses bleach as if I had just run over the cat doing maneuver.
- We have forty-four. Here we have only forty and we just can not pack a forty-four within five minutes.
overflights sull'insulto I was just addressed.
- You have at least the red shoes?
course, as if put up in jeans and a pair of red Marlboro cleavage heel ten could change everything.
And so it was that this morning I woke with a start with my heart in my throat and tears in her eyes, just ten minutes before the alarm sounded on Monday morning. Shit.
That would sound the alarm a little later and it was already Monday morning, I realized only later. First I looked next to me: my wonderful boyfriend (because he really does exist, right?) Still deeply asleep, unaware of my inner drama. Only when I was truly touched to see that finally came back to reality.
Stupid Freudian paranoia.
