The cat barfed on my dress


Dear ESB,

A few weeks ago I discovered that on of my cats totally puked on my wedding dress. While other's responses were, "Omigodhow?" "What the fuck?" and "Where did you bury the cat?" I wasn't thrilled, but I pretty much said, "Well, bummer," and moved on.

We pre-soaked the dress. It mostly got better, but there was still a little stain. And I wasn't sad that my dress might not be good enough for the day of, I was sad that I might have to go dress shopping again.

After it got home from the cleaners and it was back to perfect I wasn't relieved. I'm not displeased. I just don't really give a shit.

Is this normal? Is my brain broken? Is this a total waste of a concern?

I've asked some friends... I think they are afraid to give me the wrong answer so they just don't give me any answer.

This is not a problem.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

  3. I'm mostly confused why she threw her friends in there? What would they be afraid to say? "It doesn't matter if you're not omg-so-excited-girlie-squeal about your dress?"

  4. I don't think I'd squee if a cat puked on my dress either, but I do think I'd squee if the puke stain disappeared and no one could tell. Also, move along. There isn't a problem, don't make it a problem.

  7. The headline's so great it doesn't matter that this email was a bunch of nothing.

    Hey Bride: You are seriously super cool for not losing your head about the cat barf.

  8. Letter-writer here. I am absolutely laughing at myself right now. Sorry if I wasted your time asking this question. People make a big deal about how goddamn important the dress is and I just didn't care about what happened to mine. You are right, there is no problem.

    Getting married is fucking with my brain, I think. Expectations of over the top reactions sort of resulted in me thinking that I was doing something wrong by staying sane. And then started making me crazy.

  14. I think letter writer should take this and send to all wedding blogs she can find, and then post a list of their responses for us to laugh at.
