So, we had a lot of things go wrong with our wedding day, and they can all be traced back to our idiot wedding coordinator. I have been working very hard on letting the little things go (not just with the wedding, but with life in general) but it has been 2 weeks and I just can't let certain things go. I do have some great memories, but I honesty feel that he ruined a good portion of my wedding.
After 2 weeks of asking others for advice and praying about it, I decided to write him an email (since he never returns phone calls) and ask for a partial refund for the airbrush makeup I paid for, and got regular makeup instead, and a partial refund because we paid for a narrated trolley tour of Savannah for our guests while we were taking photos (in lieu of cocktail hour since it was a morning wedding) and all they got was a ride around town - no narration at all. I am going to work on letting everything else go - eventually - but I feel that since I paid for those 2 things and didn't get them, I should get at least part of my money back.
I feel bad. I don't want to drag this out. I just want to put it behind me and work on reconciling the bad memories I have associated with our wedding day. But at the same time, I wonder how many other brides he has taken money from (we're talking several thousand dollars here) only to give them rotten service. If I hand over that much money, I expect to get what I paid for. Am I wrong to ask for a partial refund? I don't know. I guess I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing or if I should have just let it go. I mean, he has already been paid and he knows I won't fly down to Georgia to take him to court. The worst I can do is file with the BBB - and even they can't force him to pay me back - and slam him on every internet site I can find.... but even that won't make me feel better in the end because it won't let me redo the biggest day of my life. *sigh*
