The Bad...

The Bad

Well there are a few things that I would have changed if I could do it over. 

The first our hotel- We stayed at  the Luxor… would never stay there again! Horrible customer service, bad rooms, just not happy all together. The suite we reserved was supposed to be 700-800 sq ft and it was maybe 400. It was supposed to have a huge Jacuzzi tub and it was a bath tub with a few jets on the side. We were supposed to have our in suite reception here but it ended up being too small to fit everyone. The only upside to staying there was our bed was really comfy. Our friends who also stayed there had holes in their walls too. 

The car- We rented a car so we could get our stuff done for the wedding. Which worked out great, however since we had a car everyone expected us to haul them around and pick them up from the airport… even though there was free shuttles. I would have made it clear we arent a taxi service. 

Our Vows- We both memorized our vows… but because all the nerves we both screwed up our vows… Husband didn’t get almost anything right! It made it funny but I probably would have kept a copy of them on us to read them again.

Bridesmaids- We were supposed to meet in my room for hair/makeup at 2pm… my MOH decided not to show up until 4:30 and cancelled her hair and makeup appointment at the last second (2pm so I had to pay $40 for her cancelling) I told them the time but next time I would have told them over and over not to be late because the makeup and hair ladies were waiting on us. 

The Place- Our wedding was amazing, the place was beautiful but it was on a slight hill walking in and I think we all about bit it once! I probably would have walked up and down it till I was comfortable!

    Holes in the wall?!?  That is crazy!!  I haven't stayed there in years so it obviously is getting run down!

    I hope you made the BM pay for that!  I don't get why people are late for stuff like that!

    Really, not that bad of bads!!  I hope mine are minimal like this :)

  • That stinks about the hotel. Write them a letter, explain your room, that it was your wedding, the customer service issues, etc. I would ask for atleast a partial refund!!
  • We stayed at the Luxor the last time we went to Vegas and the room was definitely old but our jacuzzi tub was decently sized so it's strange to hear that. So sorry your experience there wasn't good.

    The rest of the bad doesn't sound so bad :) And the vows thing sounds hilarious. At my friend's wedding her husband said "I do" when he was supposed to say "I will" and "I will" when he was supposed to say "I do" and the pastor pointed it out both times and the guests all laughed. It was funny and really lightened the mood.

    Congrats! Now I'm off to read the good :)

  • I'm sorry about the hotel!  I stayed at the Luxor the first time I went to Vegas and wasn't impressed.  They were working on it while I was there so it was alllllll noisey and such..I know I wouldn't stay there again unless it was free.

    Glad to hear that it was nothing too major that went wrong or not planned!
  • Boo at your MOH!! Not cool! I have a BM that I have a feeling is going to be exactly like that.... She is ALWAYS late and I am gonna wicked pissed if she is!

  • That's annoying everyone used you as a taxi service! And also annoying about the room, but it doesn't sound like you got too upset about it. I'm glad you had a back up space to have your reception!

    This!  And if they offer a credit, you could use it as a getaway!  Sorry to hear about your BM and being a taxi...that blows!
