2 wanted for that special day. I had the caterers to give me a menu and
3 have got them to provide me with samples so that I could be sure we
4 would have the best food. I also wanted to have us a string quartet play
5 classical music and I arranged that, too. My dress was been being made
6 specially and I had told the dressmaker put silver thread in it. Finally, the
7 big day got arrived. My dress was being delivered in the morning, but by
8 ten it still hadn't arrived. They called me and said it had been being
9 damaged! I was furious! I had my best friend quickly to pop out and get
10 a new dress. I had got my lawyer to call to get my money back.
