• To have and to hold

  Well, the best thing about xanga NOT dying is that I get to continue to blog about wedding shit. I’m sure all three of you are very, very excited about this.

  So. The hotel we booked for the wedding was sold. Guess who told me: NOT THE HOTEL. My photographer/florist/dj told me. Yeah. My fucking vendors had to break that news to me. So I email my coordinator at the hotel a few times with no response, but honestly this isn’t surprising. He NEVER responds to shit until I threaten to call his manager.

  Today at work, a lady came up giving out pamphlets for something and I was honestly only half listening until she said she was from my Hotel. They were doing an open house in a couple weeks and were inviting the community to come check it out and see what they have planned, renovation wise. Needless to say, I perked up. I start asking her some things, she assures me everything is fine for my wedding and it’ll all be the same… so I ask about the coordinator. Apparently, he hasn’t been with the company for a few weeks now. I have a new coordinator, and nobody fucking bothered to tell me. So she took my name and number and she said the new girl would be getting back with me. I told Fancy I’d give her until end of day tomorrow, and if no response I’d call the hotel.

  Well, she called me right as I was leaving work: and I think we’re going to love her!! She said they had been working on the files and trying to get in touch with everybody. Gave me some brief history (used to be a full time wedding planner! Loves this shit!) and we set up a meeting for saturday to meet in person and talk stuff over. I was telling her how much trouble we had with the previous guy, and she said she had heard that from ALL the brides she had talked to. So at least it wasn’t just us. Apparently the guy had no background in weddings (and honestly, I could tell) and really was just using that as a stepping stone to something else, which is a shame.

  But this girl was funny and nice and honestly seemed interested. The phrase she used was “I promise I’ll act like you actually have a wedding with us” which is the truth. The dude never did. You could tell he thought you were bothering him every time. So hopefully this works out for us in the end. I figure it will.
