Can I just call it all off???
There has not been one thing that has gone right since last Thursday... I don't even know where to begin.
First, I went for my first dress fitting. My appointment was at 7. I got there at 7, was put in my dress (with all of the stuff that goes along with it) and there was a GIANT pen stain on the front of my dress. The lady working takes my dress upstairs and leaves me standing there in my slip and shoes for 20 minutes while she gets it out. (I guess that was one thing that went right). Brings me back my dress and then I stood there for almost another hour. When I ordered my dress I wanted to order one size and the girls made me get a dress that was at least two sizes to big (Seriously, I had to hold it up while I was waiting around). FInally when the seamstress came over, not an apology for making me stand there but 'Wow we have a lot of work to do!' Then she started pinning my dress but it was all crooked. I literally walked out in tears...
Then, Friday I went to go see my sample centerpieces. I HATED them. They were nothing like what we discussed. But John saw that I was about to break down again and offered to have another meeting with me and do a second sample. (Ok, I guess two things went ok).
Finally, today. First I got a call that the flower girl dress wouldn't be available until AFTER the wedding. So with out seeing it, we changed the order and hopefully it works well with everything else.
Then I called the church. Originally we were trying to have my old priest come and do the ceremony. He wouldn't. Then I asked for another priest to do it. He's on vacation. Then I asked a Deacon that I knew from the neighborhood. He can't. So we are left with a deacon that barely speaks english and what he does I can't understand. I asked the coordinator (nicely - seriously I was really nice) if she could help me and she told me 'I understand him, I dont know what your problem is' and that's that. Nothing further, no suggestions. Oh except to write a letter and maybe someone will possible offer to do it.
Then, as we are buying stuff for the out of town guest bags, I emailed the hotel to send me a guest list. We have only 2 rooms left on our block and I can think of at least 5 or so more people that would need rooms. PS - the hotel is completely sold out on blocks and can't release more rooms to me until another block releases them. Assuming that there will be some released...
And finally, on my way home from work I called my RH to make an appointment for the party planning and tasting. Only to find out that there is no tasting! We have to pick the menu sight unseen (or should I say untasted).. She said that we should go to the restaraunt and taste the food off of that menu. The menus are completely different! And for what we are paying per head I can't believe that she wants us to pay more!!!! When we signed the contract, we were told that there was a tasting. But there is nothing in the contract that states that. So basically we are out of luck...
I really don't want to do any of this anymore. City hall or Vegas is looking wonderul right about now. I'm trying so hard to keep my cool but I'm seriously about to lose it...
I'm sorry this is so long. I just needed to vent to people that would understand where i'm coming from...
