The big pink bag ride first class

Yesterday's flying expierence was interesting if I do say so myself. Since I purchased my dress in Great Falls, transportation of the valued garment was essential. Carrying it on the plane was the only thing that I could feel ok with. Little did I know that we had 2 layovers!

Carrying the large pink bag through 4 airports was quite interesting. As we checked in at Great Falls, the lady at the ticket counter was so excited and interested in all of the details. After her repeated well wishes, we bored the plane and headed to Salt Lake City.

As we waited for the 2nd plane to board, I noticed people pointing to the bag and whispering, wondering if they could guess what the bag held. Of course the flight attendants weren't as excited about it as the people in the airport. Dragging it to the front to find somewhere to house it, the flight attendant considered shoving it in the overheard bins until I squashed that one real quick. She finally obliged to hang it in the first class cabin closet. It rode the same way on the way from Minneapolis to Hartford.

After retrieving the dress after its second first class ride, I started to wonder if I had just asked, could we have ridden first class?

People are very interesting when they hear that you are off to get married. Some are excited, some look at you like you're using an excuse. Whatever the reaction, I was mainly concerned with the condition that my dress would arrive in on the other side.

I have to report that the dress is just fine. My nerves, not so much. Maybe we'll just ship it back to Montana.
No more first class rides for the large pink bag.
