Hair Travesty
Well, I thought I'd let you all know that I had my first crazy bride moment. I almost cried at my hair trial appointment...
Let me fill you in. So, my hair dresser of about three years left town a few month ago, so I was forced to find someone else to give me trims. I've been growing my hair out for over a year now in preparation for one day - the wedding day. Normally, I would have chopped it by now, but no, I've diligently grown it out. So, anyway, I found a hairdresser nearby that I got haircuts from. The first time I went to her, I explained why I was growing my hair out and what my wedding hairdo was. I told her that I didn't want her cutting layers in my hair in case it might put my dream do in jeopardy. She assured me that she could put in some layers and it would be fine.
I then decided to use Cheetah Shoes' hairdresser, Christina, downtown to do my hair for the wedding. I drove downtown on Friday to do my test hairdo. I showed Christina my pictures of the hairdo and she began working on my hair. She hadn't gotten too far when she gave me the bad news - that I had too many short layers in my hair to do what I wanted. I asked her if we could do anything similar, but everything she tried, my layers were too short. At that point, I was biting my lip and holding back the tears. I finally said "I'm just so mad because I told the other hairdresser what I was doing and she said I could still do it if she cut the layers."
Poor Christina was on egg shells and she called over other hair dressers to discuss. They decided that the only thing to do was to go and buy fake hair to make the hair knot out of and then if we couldn't find fake hair to match, we'd just dye my hair to match the fake hair. So, that is where we stand in my ongoing hair saga. Stay tuned to see if Naomi, Cheetah Shoes, and Christina can find matching fake hair, or if our heroine must dye her currently faded reddish dyed hair to match the fake hair they do find...

Don't worry nomie, it will all work out in the end, I just know you'll find the perfect fake wedding hair!
That sucks... I would be pissed at the person that cut your hair--they should know better! Anyway, I'm sure you'll find something that will make it work out and you're going to look great :)
Naomi, you were the most beautiful baby in the world when you were born, an adorable mopheaded tantrum throwing terrible 2, hysterically funny sixth grader imitating Mr.Gall, so tall gorgeous and smart all the guys at Alcona were too intimidated to ask you out in high school and you are going to be a fabulously beautiful bride no matter what.
I'm sure glad I was a hippie when I got married, natural do and no makeup. Now I'm a lazy old hippie natural do and no makeup mother of the bride.
What worries me most about this wedding is that all Mitch's photos will be of you, We might need to remind him to put Brian in a few.
The clarion call has gone out across the kingdom (Alcona County), and the response has been overwhelming. Hundreds of hair donors have lined up in our driveway to see if there may be a match to help our their native daughter. Nurse Wenzel has come our of retirement to assure that all potential donors are lice free. I'm sure it is only a matter of time until a perfect match is found! Fear not Damsel Naomi (err Narmi) your hair savior may be the next in line. Hang in there Naomi it'll all work out!
Dad
I have some fake bangs (not kidding) if those are required for the dream do.
Bring them along Rach.
First of all, acc-ent-uate the positive and eee-liminate the negative because the money we (I keep only a modest 1/3) get from the lawsuit for emotional distress damages is really going to heal, and I mean heal, your emotional distress. Hellloooo Four Seasons in Hawaii. Second of all, Mitch is going to be the photographer at the wedding???!?!!?? Sweet. Brian should probably just hire his own photographer as well so it's fair.
Naomi,
first let me say I am very impressed at your support network. Each person has played their role perfectly.
younger sister - "don't worry it will all work out"
best friend - "I feel your pain, but this will work out, you're awesome"
Mom - "blah blah blah" irrelevant details of your childhood that initially you feel are doing nothing to help you, then strangely you start laughing about the memories forgetting for a time that your hair is completely ruined and there is no way to fix it, she closes with self deprecation so you know that no matter what you'll look better than your mom did at her wedding.
Dad - "I've launched into a greatly exaggerated solution to the problem as required by our dad-daughter bond demonstrating I'm still your hero, well until I hand you over to Brian, then he has to solve all your silly problems that make you incredibly upset for some reason"
cousin - "I have a solution, you can use my fake hair"
attorney Aunt - "first let me lighten things with an obscure reference to a song that we both know was sung by an actor with no talent which of course is why it is High-larious, then I'll offer the solution that always works for me when people piss me off, sue the pants off 'em! Close with reference to the fact that your stalker boyfriend will be the photographer for your wedding."
So really with all of that support, I'm sure your problems are completely resolved, and you are feeling much better.
But if not, then just do what I do.
When life doesn't meet my expectations, I lower them.
And from The Reason You're Getting Married:
Dude, it sucks. But it is a STORY. You will have this Naomi Story of Woe forever. Not that it won't be a wedding full of stories, but this this is a good one. Maybe you should write a book! You could throw in the bunnies on the treehouse as a preface to the hilarity that ensues on the following pages...
I'm offended Jeff, sorry I bored you with details of one my children's childhood, I'd have posted video if it had been availabe back then. And......... I was a fabulously beautiful hippie bride in my $25 sale dress.
I just remembered another Naomi hair travesty story. 11 or 12 yrs old, a beautiful professional hair crimping that mostly came out over night before school photos the next day. Of course the red puffy eyes from sobbing all morning really added to the photo.
naomi has assured me that mitch will photograph the wedding with an objective lens...should I go ahead and hire another photographer or just photo shop myself in later? Since our apartment has already become a studio showcasing the early works of the fabulous mitch ranger I wouldn't really expect to be in any of the pictures anyway.
Tom, have you found any matching donors?
Since Mitch doesn't release the copyright on the photos for several years I think you better hire another photographer Brian.
Yes I think we have a match. Negotiations are underway. Dad
Lois,
I apologize for offending you, my comments were thoughtless and inappropriate,
I'm sorry.
Apology accepted Jeff. It did motive my husband to find and put a picture of his hot hippie bride on his desk at work, so thanks.
Mopheaded tantrum thrower? Naomi? I just can't picture it. And you are going to be a beautiful bride. I'll even donate some hair (what's left of it...) if it will help. The day will be fabulous!
Jef K was a little harsh too. I'm glad he apologized. That's classy!
