Big Time Rant, just need to vent and for everything to work out
Going to cry all day.
I know everything gets fixed, but seriously this is a mess.
My Wedding is in August, I have been planning it since 2008, meaning I have had my vendors booked and ready for almost 2 years now. I am getting married at the WM and I was a Felecia Bride.
I want to know: Any of you other girls book with Felicia and the Manor is treating you poorly almost like they just want your wedding over with so they never have to see you again? Because that is how I am being treated.
With all of their bad press the last thing they need is another unhappy bride, seriously.
We go there yesterday, after I see my bridesmaid dresses after they come in and POW they are pinker than I expected. So I immediately book a florist appointment to change all of my flowers (joy). We go to the Manor to finalize the menu. A woman who I won't name on here because I don't want to get deleted lol. Well she acted like we were the biggest inconvenience in the world even though we have had this appointment for a week. We were a little early and didn't mind waiting but she was just a jerk.
Anyway - we start going over the whole damn thing and BOOM first bomb dropped. When we booked with Felicia she told us we would have all of the downstairs rooms all night. And Alas, there is another event coming in at 8pm. So, the EXPENSIVE photo favor that I am contracted for is now up in the air. I needed the library room to set up 2 photo stations where people could pose and get a 5X7 framed picture of themselves either being silly or serious. Then, they take a copy of the photo for the guest book and glue it in and I decorate it later. Cute.
My guest list is over 200 people so I need the whole manor room, this will not work in the corner of the Manor room and I hate the idea of it and I know that that is what I am going to wind up with and I just want to cry. The woman seriously like laughed when I got upset and then told me I was getting upset over nothing because clearly I was never told I would have all of the rooms because they simply don't do that.
Really? My father offered to pay in full in cash to have all of the downstairs rooms all night and we were told we would be taken care of.
So I just wanted to move on (this is the FIRST thing that happened). She proceeded to act like we were bothering her even though I had everything we wanted neatly organized onto a typed up spreadsheet so she could just go from there. She then picked my table cloths for me (I will be changing them) and when I told her my florist will provide me with cake decorations her response was 'Oh then she better decorate it because we won't touch it if you don't use ours'. Which I know is true but the way she put it was so...rude. After the whole thing was done I asked my FH if because I was upset I was exaggerating how rude she was, and he said no. For him to say something means she had to be completely out of line.
Then after being all hot and bothered my mom (who isn't really involved or doing much of anything for me) said she'd fix it, which who knows how that will turn out. My Ceil (my Grandmother, long story) is addressing my invites so I go over there to stuff the envelops and get them out. My mom was supposed to give her a typed and organized list to go from since its like 120 invitations. Instead my poor Ceil was going from a stack of random papers. So for an hour I was sorting out invites and names and trying to figure out who was who and what was what. Then it took 4 hours to finish everything else. When I called my mom 4 times to get addresses that were not there she told me she'd e-mail them to me. This was over 12 hours ago. The date on the response card is July 4th. Seriously, these need to be done. So 117 invites go out today, and the rest will go out tomorrow. I am seriously finished.
I felt like a bridezilla and I don't want to be that. It is just hard asking people for help and having them just mess everything up :( I just want everything to straighten itself out!![]()
