Ya'll I knew things were going too good and I felt a little too calm about the wedding. Today I get a call from the lady who is over the music at our church. She's asking for our music for the ceremony. I tell her I gave it to the man who told me he would be doing my music. She proceeds to tell me not only was it supposed to go through her but also that he had to only be gospel music and by gospel artists.
Number one I have been attending this church for 15 years and have attended several weddings there and this was not the case. One lady in particular got married in 2009, I followed up with her because we are close and asked her and she said no she was able to play whatever she wanted. Two you tell me this literally 5 days before my wedding when we have over 100 programs printed with this music in it. Three this is the third time I have had a problem with miscommunication with my church regarding my wedding.
The first was my shower it was announced two weeks before my shower and not announced again, they failed to mention date/time so none of them showed up. The second with my invitation, I mailed a month before the wedding and the lady (also this sound person) swears she put it in the announcements mailbox but it never made it so I had to e-mail my announcement one week before the wedding so it would be announced. Now this. I am truly fed up so now we have to meet with my pastor because he is saying after speaking with my fiance that he will not do the ceremony unless we meet with him. So we are going in the morning. Not only that but he told my fi that I was trying to go around their policy by giving my music to someone other than this lady. I never heard from her the only person I heard from was the man saying he was doing my music.
Had I known this fi and I could have either found gospel music so that we could have the wedding here or we would have kept our music and did ceremony/reception at our reception venue. I'm ready for my wedding to be over these people have made it a living hell. Church people at that!
