Our wedding is June 25th. The minister we chose is a friend of mine and will be traveling from Charlotte, NC to Greensboro, NC ( about 2.5 hours). She recently informed us that she won't be able to be at the wedding rehearsal because of work obligations ( this is going to be a disaster) and because she only let us know this a month before the wedding we were kind of screwed. 

Prior to her letting us know this, we had agreed to rent her a car to get her form this work function to our wedding and back to the work function ( it's like a week long seminar thing). 

However, she's most recently informed us that she also won't be able to stay for the reception and will just do the ceremony and leave.

My Fiance doesn't think we should pay for the rental car anymore because she's just coming to do the ceremony and leaving. I don't think we're in a position to be pushy about anything 2 weeks before our wedding. We're also not paying her for doing the wedding. 


What do we dooo?!

    She's driving 5 hrs round trip to do a 30 min ceremony and the only thing you are paying for is the car?  You're still getting a deal.

    Our priest wasn't at the rehearsal.  The co-ordinator took care of everything.  As long as she has some time to see the place and get some cues before hand you'll be fine.  Maybe you can sit down with her before the weekend and walk/talk through things.

    I could see being disappointed that she won't be at the reception, but does it really matter?  It sounds like she's making every effort under the sun to be at your event and do this for you.  5 hours for a 30 minute ceremony can't be enjoyable for her.

    You already agreed to the car, and didn't put any stipulations on it (which would have been weird if you did) so I say just pay for the car. She sounds like a very busy woman and you are lucky she is able to make it to the wedding (and without a fee). It's unfortunate she is canceling last minute, though. It might be wise to at least try to think of a plan B in case she makes another cancelation!!!
