SO UPSET

The organist at our church is awful. I mean... really horrendous. So we needed someone else to play for us. I asked my choral director form college because I knew he was a cantor and could play the organ... originally he told me he wasn't a great organist, that he's ore comfortable ont he paino, but in a pinch he could do it. So I said that's fine, cause I realy liked the personal element of having someone I have a relationship with act as the cantor and organ for the ceremony.

This was like 10 months ago.

Fast forward to today, he asked me to call to discuss some details and then he says 'Now, the matter of my fee...'

He wanted $325 to play my wedding!!!

AND HE'S TELLING ME WITH
'JLWSJC
Wedding Countdown
31 Days 2 Hours
23 Minutes 51 Seconds '
TO GO!

Now he says he'll take $250 but he can't do less than that since he has to plan and then travel (from Huntington to Howard Beach)
This isn't someone I was just hring as a vendor. THis is someone I invited to my wedding independent of the fact that he was playing.

THEN he tells me his wife can't come and he wants to come tot he reception but he can't stay long bcause he has another event that night.

Am I wrong to be upset?

I'm telling you, I never knew how some people could be until I planned this wedding. I know everyone says it and it seems so cliche... but it's so true
