We had planned on doing a bbq for our rehersal dinner. Since we were going to be at our venue and it wasn't booked the night before, we were told we could use it. Made perfect since all we had to pay for was a liquor license since it would be out doors. No big deal we did that. We are ten days out and I just got a call from the city we are getting married in.
We can't do a bbq anymore, they have already notified the venue and would be refunding our money. I asked why. They just passed an emergency thing saying that were are to be no outdoors fires. Including grills of any sort. It makes total sense, my whole state is in a fire ban. Not thirty miles to then north, there is a raging wild fire. I get it but it sucks.
The woman I spoke to said she had already sent out money back, she felt terrible because she knew it was for a wedding thing. I told her it was okay and asked as long as we aren't using a fire of any kind can we still be outdoors and have liquor. Turns out we can she said she woud just give us the permit that we didn't need to send the money back again. That was awesome.
Still it sucks but it is what it is. My FMIL suggested pizza, not sure though cause at the wedding we are having Italian dishes but it might work out. Pizza isn't on the list of things we're eating so it could work. If this is the worst that happens in then next ten days I'll be feeling pretty lucky.
