Frustrated with the Reception Site
Posted

Here is the sequence of events that has made me greatly dislike my reception site (ladies don't say hate):
June
3: I email the reception site to set up the "big meeting" which is
supposed to take place about a month before the wedding (August 9). I
ask to have the meeting on June 13 (since I am planning on traveling to
Houston that day).
June
4: I get a response saying that June 13 is much too early; I won't
know a lot of the little details (no indication what those might be).
June 17: Having returned from previously mentioned trip, I try again to schedule the meeting, this time for June 27th.
Now that I have found the perfect part-time job, I only have Fridays
available to go to Houston, and I have two other appointments scheduled
for that day.
June
17 (after arriving home from work): I am told that the month of June
is extremely busy for them (duh) and they have many Friday weddings. I
am given a list of days and times when we can meet. Of the 10 or so
days, one is a Friday (July 11), which happens to be the day of the bachelorette
party. The coordinator expresses that she understands that it can
difficult to plan a wedding from out-of-town, and maybe I could send
someone else. At the meeting we will go over the timeline, the table
setting, and other details.
I, upon reading the email, become
irate. 1) I could have had the timeline ready for the last meeting. 2)
How can I entrust such a meeting to my mom, who was flustered at the
florist when asked her opinion of the bouquet? 3) Yargh.
After
15 minutes of venting/fuming to my fiance, I decided to ask my sister
and my mother to go and they can call me if they have questions.
