I can't believe this!!! [kinda long]

Today FH and I were supposed to meet our officiant to go over our vows..and basically just meet, since I booked him about two months ago over the phone.
I called him yesterday to remind him of our appointment for today at 530pm. He asked if we could make it 6:00pm. Fine, no problem.
Well we get to his house at 5:50, knock on the door..no answer. We go back to the car and FH calls him at 6:00pm. He tells FH he is at a last minute wedding in NASSAU COUNTY. [we live in Patchogue and his house where we were at is in Selden!]. He says he is leaving the wedding in 10 mins and asks if we can wait.
UM NO YOU ARE AN HOUR AWAY!!!
I mean, if you're leaving in 10 mins from Nassau to drive to Selden, then obviously you KNOW you are going to be at least an hour late. YOU CAN'T CALL???!!

I cannot believe this. I mean I heard of florists standing brides up, or dj's or photographers but OFFICIANTS?!?!
I'm mad! I have absolutely no time in June to do any meeting or planning as I'm traveling for work.
HOW RUDE!!

Thanks for listening..vent over.

thats pretty bad...i would expect more from an officiant!

That is TOTALLY rude!! I don't get it - I HAVE heard of it with DJs and hair/makeup and florists - what is so hard about CALLING to say you're running late?? I'm with you - you deserve a

What if he does that on your wedding day? That does not sound very reliable or professional

well if it makes you feel any better i called 3 people already to do my wedding ( i know it is next year but i do realize it is a holiday so i figured i would give them ample time) well ALL 3 so far told me (exact words now) 'oh no i can't i will be on vacation its a holiday'
so i am waiting for this 4th to pass to try some other people.

so i am sorry to hear about what happened to you but believe me i know how disappointed you felt.

That is so rude! Why didn't he call you guys an hour before to tell you he was still in Nassau???

I don't know!!! He just didn't! So we went there for nothing pretty much. There was no way in hell I was waiting another hour for him when he didn't even call me in the first place to tell me he was going to be late.
