Hello everyone, I'm getting married on April 26th (I think). I posted this on the Wedding 911 board but wanted it to be seen again. My FI mom said she knew the manager at a local hotel and she would take care of the reception. This was around Thanksgiving. She said the manager could reserve a room for a small (20 people) wedding and reception. Cue to 2 weeks ago they come from being gone 3 months in Florida and future MIL starts in on what kind of food we should have. Mind you, she's been saying all along that "the reception is taken care of stop worrying. Well come to find out last night we are getting whatever room is left over. WTF?!? We went to the hotel last night because we were told to come view rooms between 6-9pm. We get there and all rooms are booked, we can't see them. Then future MIL says to my FI today (18 days before the wedding) that he and I have to foot the food bill after being told for months the reception is taken care of. I'm freaking out! No firm venue, no food, etc. I don't know what the heck to do?!? Trust she's got the location covered and find out the day of the wedding we have no venue or take the bull by the horns and find some cheap backup. I haven't budgeted anything for the reception as far as food or the actual venue.
