I found a veil...even in the dark!

This afternoon my mom and I headed to I DO TOO in Plymouth, (the same place I got my dress) so that I could order a veil and a headpiece. When we walked up to the door there was a sign that said "Plymouth Manor and I DO TOO are both open even though we have a power outage from yesterday's storms." I thought it was weird they still didn't have power, but we headed upstairs. When we got up there we saw that the only light we would have to shop in was natural light from the windows...and all of the fitting rooms were pitch black. They kept apologizing for the power outage, and I debated whether or not to come back, but I already had my hair somewhat like I was going to wear for the wedding...so we decided to stay. One of the ladies that worked there helped us find the sample dress of my dress and I tried on about ...oh 10 veils and 10-15 headpieces. Thank God this lady knew all about the different kinds of veils and styles because my mom and I were clueless. But after about an hour and a half I decided...on two! I am going to have an eight foot cathedral veil for the ceremony, and then a shorter veil for the reception. And the headpiece I chose is exactly what I wanted. Any by head piece, I don't mean tiara... I see brides on TV with that style all the time and I don't get the appeal...my "head" piece is more like a "decorative crystal comb" to go above my veil. So in four months they should be in. I hope everything looks good together!
