And you said something I think that was key when you were talking about the questions around the weather.

And obviously with the weather, we can't control it.

We don't even always know what it's going to be until maybe hours or moments until it is.

And you talked about how the folks there were so accommodating with the helping you to arrange to move it in.

And that kind of brings me back to what our theme was today is having that point of contact.

Listen, most brides do not have a professional wedding coordinator.

Some do, and that's great.

But if you are your own wedding coordinator to have A primary point of contact at the places that matter, which, you know, again, we were talking about the apparel store, the venue, the florist, those kinds of things.

It's so key.

And again, I know we're on budget, so it's tempting to look at ways to cut corners to save expenses.

And we do need to do things.

We need to budget.

And that's why it's important to budget up front.

But don't fall into that temptation of cutting corners on the things that matter that are going to end up a costing you more later and be costing you in stress later.

It's not something you want to have to worry about.

We're going to move it in.

We're going to do what we have to do.

You may be surprised, Laura, but getting guys to come in for tux fittings is just a little more challenging than getting young ladies to come in for dress fittings.

I can imagine.

They're just not quite as excited as the ladies are.
