About What I Expected...Warning - this is a rant of a blog post that involves venting...

So my fears were confirmed.  It was what I expected.  She's moving - not out of state, only to Waltham - but moving none the less.  The girls who were going to help out aren't interested in running the show.

At least she was nice about it and gave me a suggestion.  I decided to try calling and wasn't left with a lot of confidence...First, the girl wasn't very helpful and didn't even know if they would do it because they are closed on Sundays.  Come on, like no bride in the country gets married on Sunday and has their hair and make-up done.  Right! 

I know it shouldn't be a big deal - it's just hair and make-up, and I've got several months to find someone new.  It's not like she told me this 2 days prior to the wedding.  But that's not the point.  The point is, I was all set with that - it was taken care of, and I didn't have to worry about it.  Now, it's something else that I have to stress about.  I've looked on-line and seen that some places charge $200 for bridal hair, and $175 for bridal make-up for just the bride!  I don't have an extra $375 sitting around just for me to get my hair and make-up done!!  Add the bridesmaids on top of that at a minimum charge of $125 each and that's ridiculous.  They just shelled out money for a dress and they have to pay that too - I can't afford to cover the cost of them too.

I'm starting to think it must be me.  First, we found a minister who we loved, and the day I sent him all the paperwork he came back and said he couldn't do - something else had come up.  Fine.  I was crushed, but got over it.  Then, I find another guy whom I like and who is available.  Great.  Too bad that after repeated attempts to contact him fail miserably, we are forced to look elsewhere.  In the end we found a guy that we really like, and who actually gets back to us.  In the end it worked out.  But it still sucked to go through.  Now this. 

I'm sorry to over-react, but come on!  Everyone needs to vent sometimes, and this is my venting.

I'm not a bridezilla!  I'm not, so why are people backing out on me?  Do I have a sign on my back that says get my hopes up and then crush them miserably?

Again, I am sorry...
