What an dissappointment
Hello to all my future brides to be!
Before I get into the foolishness, let me say I absolutely LOVE these forums. I have been lurking around since I got engaged and it is a joy to read everyone helping each other. It really gave me hope...
Until I was actually going through planning my own wedding
The love of life and I moved to VA. We finally decided to get married. I wanted a destination wedding and just inviting the ones we hold very near to our hearts. He wanted a wedding in our hometown (NYC of course) so more ppl would be able to come.
Let me say, this has the biggest nightmare of all times!
Our first date was NYE. My family had a problem with it saying no one would come. Ok. So I changed the date to March 27 (that is my school's spring break and a good time for me to take off from work). I tried on a dress I absolutely loved and that wasn't good enough. After being frustrated, I got a dress everyone else loved. 3 days later, my mom and sis decided the date wasn't good enough because the weather will be to unpredictable. So May 29 it was.
The reception hall I was eyeing wasn't wheel chair accessible so I had to keep looking. Being the cheapskate I am, I settled on Riccardo's. I sent my mom to give them the deposit. Now she has an issue with the Rh because it doesn't have a separate cocktail room or a chapel (the ceremony was going to be held at either Queens Botanical Gardens or my home church which is 20 minutes from the RH). She decided she liked Astoria World Manor better (I've been there on a Saturday night it is NOT a place for a wedding, especially when they need some SERIOUS repairs and was too over crowded).
So after weeks of arguing the wedding has been called off. I've lost money on the dress and the RH if they do not book that date. Hurt is an understatement. I would love to still get married but it will only happen if we elope.
To all brides to be that's going through the same situation, make sure it is what you want. It's mostly your day. You're going to be stressed out anyway. Mind as well have it to your preference. If you can, do most of the running around with either a neutral party or alone.
