sooo...stressed! UPDATE!!!

soooo....remember my last post about FINALLY changing my date to april 26, 2008?? well, as i told a few of u at the GTG...last night, right as i was about to leave to go out for the GTG, my father called me and said he was talking to the pastor at my church on the phone. The pastor told him that we would prob not be able to book my church on april 26, 08 because.....when he looked in the book for THIS year, that is the week that first communions are scheduled....soooo...they will most likely be scheduled that same week for next year (of course he did not know for sure, but that was his speculation). originally when we has asked for that date we had spoken with the deacon who told us it was free! there was NO mention of first communion!!! sooo...naturally we did not think it was going to be a problem. but now the pastor is suggesting we find a new date!

i really dont want to have to switch back to May (even thoough i love the idea of may it is 6K more!! i really dont think i should spent that much extra $!) so now i am stuck again!! i really have my heart set on getting married in the church i grew up in....but the problem is....they are really being so difficult! (betweeen possibly interfering with a funeral during our AM ceremony and now THIS!?) i just dont know what to do anymore.....so now....it looks like we may have to push the wedding forward another 2 weeks to April 12th. I just PRAY the weather is alright then. i really wanted the end of april or may b/c the weather would prob be nicer and the weather in Italy (for our honeymoon is more likely to be nice as well). I have heard that April is still cool in italy. but May is supposed to be nice. SO it's either we switch to April 12th...or...keep it at April 26 and find a new church (which breaks my heart)....or spend 6K more to have the wedding in May (original plan....but FH really really does not want to spend that much and i kinda feel the same way).

ANY MORAL SUPPORT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! i was so excitied 2 days ago when we thought we made our final plans....now i am really so sick of this wedding stuff right now, i want to cry!!

(sorry this was SOOO long)


****UPDATE***** sooooo....finally....the pastor at the church called us back and said that he can do april 12, 2008! sooooo...that is now my new date (this BETTER be the FINAL after all this drama). CLM has it on hold for us so we will call them tomorrow to confirm. (Denises eparty is there tonight so they will be too busy now anyway). and, the cool part about having it then is that Rachelle (Shell84) is also having her reception there on the same day. her CH starts an hour before my reception ends so we will see each other! and i just met her last night! (how funny). also...our CH will now start an hour later with this date so we will have more time in between to take pics! wooohoo!! now i pray that nothing else goes wrong to mess this up again!

Re: sooo...stressed! i need some encouragement!

Awww, I'm sorry youre having problems with that stuff :( I understand the church thing is important to you, but I understand the 6K extra issue more. Ok, so my prob with the church is... don't people book thir communions?? why can't you book your wedding and the communion people cant have that date? seems weird to me if you been goin to that church since a child that they wouldnt be more understanding and helpful...
I think April will be wonderful weather!! Even in Italy!! It won't be hot, but think it will be so comfortable that youll probably have more energy and stuff rather than if it were hot... just my opinion.
The extra 6K... For my situation its a big deal, and I have to keep reminding myself, ITS FOR ONE DAY!! And its your wedding day you will be marrying the man you love!!! Whatever day it was on if it was snowing raining or whatever, it will be magical and perfect!! Something will always go wrong, but try not to lose sight of that. Easier said than done, I know, I keep freakin out about havin mine in march and worrying about weather and if people willl come yadda yadda, and realized... none of it will really matter...
I hope everything works out for you. Try not to stress so much :)

thanks!! that helps a lot actually. i know you are right about all of that. i am so frustrated....i want to get married in that church....but even more, my parents want me to. but they are not even really paying for the wedding. they dont really seem to care when i have the wedding as long as it is in my church and they think i am being unreasonable for thinking that my church is not being fair. grrr...they are pissiing me off now too! but really, it is my choice....not theirs. i cannot make my decisions based on what will please them

*of course my parents loved the idea of the may wedding....but hello!!! they are not the ones paying for it!!

The church won't let you change the time? Maybe before the communions and if they don't have them that day then you can keep your time.

haha...i wish...but the prob with having a wedding too early at my church is....if there happens to be a funeral that day...then we will have to get bumped up. (which we really wouldnt find out about till maybe the day before if we are lucky....) so i dont even want to risk that happening. that is another thing that bothered me. they said that even if we had our time for our ceremony scheduled at 10am....if someone needs to have a funeral that day....they will automatically have priority. but HELLO.....we are scheduling this over a year in advance. that is why they normally dont have weddings till 11am.

I hope everything works out. I'm Glad CLM put a hold on the date for you.
How cool would that be, same hall and date.

Re: sooo...stressed! UPDATE!!!

I think you'll be happy with this decision. It's more important to get married in a place that means a lot to you than to worry about a two-week difference in the weather.

Here's to hoping that this is really the end of it, and that you have your final date all set!
