My Church just totally F$%&'d me over!!!! UPDATED AGAIN! - I'M SCREWED!!!
Original post by EJSD2006
When FH and I booked the Church, we told them it would be 5pm or 6pm Mass and she said that was fine because no one else would be getting married after us. I have everything set for a 6pm Mass, I just called to confirm our officiant and low and behold she has us down for 5pm and cant change it because there's a rehearsal after us! I'm freaking out because we just had the invitations completed and they all say 6pm!!!! FH is freaking out on me now and screaming that we will have to pay another $500 for the new invites! I just called the woman at the rectory again to see if there's any way they could change the time because the invites are done already! I'm waiting for a call back. I need prayers and hugs girls!
ETA: I spoke to the Church lady this morning and she said that she called the other bride to see if she is willing to move her rehearsal time but made sure she added that it was 'a huge inconvenience for the other bride because she may have OOT guests that will now have to leave earlier to be here'. She can bite me! I'm still waiting to see if it can be done. If not, I'm stuck with either invites with a crappy correction insert or having to spend another $500 on new invites!!!
ETA: Ok, the other bride has no heart! She's not willing to switch!!! I have to stick to 5pm! I'm so angry right now you have no idea! I hope it rains on her wedding day!

I would definatley do the cards with the new time, if needed. Don't re do your invites.

wait... I totally missed the part that it was a REHEARSAL after you. I thought it was another wedding! They HAVE to change that! Yours is a little more INVOLVED to change... it's your WEDDING! I'm sure the other girl can push hers back or ahead an HOUR with this much notice! If not, the church should wave their 'donation' since you would have to re-do your invitations! I guess we should all confirm EVERY TIME and EVERY DETAIL before the invitations go to print - even the ones that we can't IMAGINE would be wrong! Wow. Good lesson for us... I hope it works out for you!!!!
Yes! Learn from me girls, call your Churches/reception halls prior to having anything printed! Save yourself the headache!!! It should be a piece of cake changing the time with the vendors (if need be) but the invites are freaking me out!!!

seriously... this shouldn't even be a QUESTION of IF they can accomodate you for the church. They messed it up. They have to fix it. You already DID your invitations.

I hear sooooooo many horror stories about churches that screw people over, I feel so bad for you I am really sorry, I would go over her head and speak to the priest and then go to the archdiocese!!!! It's not fair that you loose $500 over this. I always wanted to get married in a church but everytime I hear things like this it makes me so mad and I become glad we decided not to! Good luck sweetie! XOXOXO Kitty

Keep us posted! They should be able to change that for you... it's a WEDDING. If anything, the rehearsal should be changed.

Try to find out who is having the rehersal maybe they wouldn't mind changing times! I'm sure they would understand. Don't worry it will all work out!!!
Yeah - really - It's a rehearsal - they really should reschedule that because they CAN reschedule a rehearsal. Try not to worry - if logic has anything to do with anything, they will do the right thing here.

Why can't the church switch the rehersal time to 5pm??? It's just a rehersal and I think any bride would be ok with that!

Good luck!
Too bad you can't talk to the bride directly and explain your dilemma, I'm sure they'd be easier to work with than the church.

That brides a B&^$! if she doesn't let it happen. So what if OOTers can't make the rehearsal! Leave the dinner the same time, just rehearse earlier in the day. Seriously, that girl has issues if she doesn't conceed.
