Oh what a mess

Hi ladies... we made it to Vermont, and the house we're staying at is gorgeous! The host made a couple of changes to our day today that have me a little livid. I hope not overreacting!

Ok first, the host booked another couples wedding at the same time, in the same balloon. I knew there might be other people in the balloon, but really?? When we were working out a date to begin with she didn't let us pick one date because there was another wedding here at the B&B. I would have been ok with one here since we're going to be somewhere else! But yeah. It's not going to be my day, it's not even going to be my hour.

Next, she's supposed to serve us dinner after the ceremony. She says that doesn't work for her because she had something booked early in the morning, so she's giving us a picnic basket to eat before we go up in the balloon. The 3 of us in formal wear, eating food on a blanket before the ceremony. I am not happy, and thinking we're going to have to decline that, and find food somewhere afterwards.

Oh, and this might all be moot because it's raining.

Re: Oh what a mess

  • Oh man, I'm so sorry :( Could you find a gazebo or something instead? I would also probably decline the picnic and find a fancy restaurant do go to. 

    But yayyyy getting married soon!!!
  • I'm sorry! Are you guys definitely going up today?
  • We haven't had a call saying that we're not. Apparently they'll decide by about 2. If not there's a JOP who will come here.

    I met the other couple and they're very nice, I just think it's weird she scheduled us at the same time.

    It will be fine, we will be married in the end, and with some stories to tell.

  • Without knowing any backgroudn I do find it strange she keeps changing things the day of because she booked other things.I mean you booked first right? So shouldn't all that hold?

  • Man, that does suck. But like you said, at the end of the day you will be married!!! And yea, I would decline the picnic for a fancy dinner.

    I really hope you guys get to go up on the balloon. Have you ever been on a hot air balloon before? I always wanted to do it, but they also terrify me lol. I can''t wait to see pics!

  • Yeah, we're confused by all the changing too but at this point we're just going with it. I put my foot down about eating before the ceremony so the compromise we reached is that she'll leave the picnic in our room with the cake and champagne. That way we don't have to haul it, worry about storing it, etc. It's not ideal but I can live with that. As my FI tells me, I just need to let it go and see what happens.

    Vermont is absolutely stunning though! Billboards are not allowed here.

  • Congrats, happy wedding day, and good luck! No matter what kind of crap gets thrown at you, don't forget to enjoy yourselves! It's your special day :) 

    I wish you all the best!
