Buckle up...
So today was just a busy day at work. I asked to leave early so I could get ready for the jewelry party I was having tonight (I found starfish necklaces from Premier Designs that I wanted). So I came to home to clean, cook and chill. Well...about 3 hours out from the party I get a phone call from my WC. My WC tells me that the beach I want to get married is booked (no more permits being sold). Umm...hello...I thought this was taken care of. Yeah, not so much. It was supposed to be done last week as well as the payment for pavilion. Well...needless to say the county didn't get back to my WC and that left time for other brides to snatch up the sunset wedding.
So I called my mom...just crying hard because I'm a loss! She gets upset and starts going off and mother hen takes over. I give her the number for my WC and I later learned she called the county regarding the pavilion.
**As a side note, this lady at the county has given me the run around for 3 months about WHEN I could reserve this pavilion!
About half an hour later, my WC calls me. Apologizes (which was VERY helpful) and then tries to offer a solution: instead of getting married at sunset, we can get married the hour before. Then to help this situation, they'll keep a photog around for the next 2 hours and we'll still get our pics on the beach at sunset. However, we don't know for SURE if the pavilion is still open. WC is calling in the morning to get the 3-4 ceremony permit and pavilion. Fingers crossed this works out. If not, I'm changing beaches...and that means my postcard STD's aren't correct anymore!
Thanks for reading this...and you can unbuckle your belts...this bumpy ride is shut down for the night!
So now the jewelry party is done...my eyes are still sensitive from all my tears...I'm off to bed! Here's to a better day tomorrow...and hopefully good news!
UPDATE:
So this morning I didn't hear from my WC, so I called him right when I got to work to see if the vibes paid off. Well for the most part things worked out. The WC was able to secure the permit for the beach from 2:30 for set up and our ceremony will start at 3pm. However, the pavilion can't be used until 4pm...so after the ceremony while we're doing pictures, our guests will be mingling with no place to go. The WC asked if we could get in early, but was told no. So...that means I'll have to find someone who can help throw on some table clothes and see if the place where we're getting our food will deliver to the beach...then I can just find a few things to go on the tables and be out of there between 6:30 and 8pm.
All in all, it seems like the ceremony part is good...just a little unsure about the pavilion (which was something I talked about here a few months ago). I just have to see if there is any family or friends I can have decorate for me. I'm sure that seems tacky...but our main reception is here...I just wanted to thank guests and provide some food/drink after the ceremony.
**Sigh**
At least my postcards from VP are still usable and things seem to be on the right track.
Again, thanks so much ladies for your vibes and listening...patience is so not a virtue of mine!
Thank you again!
