Changing our wedding date

Not a *HUGE* deal bc nothing was set in stone (translation: no contracts signed, no money put down)... I was a bit disapointed bc the date, 7 Aug 2010, is our 3.5 yr anniversary, so it did have special meaning to me. However, Toby's mother is a school teacher and just called with her new school year schedule and with our date she wouldnt be able to travel from Guam. Obviously, not having his mother there is silly just to keep our date.

One good thing so far about the date change is that the venue we originally looked at is available in July while Aug 7 was already booked. I am soooo excited and plan on seeing Loulu Palms this week :-D

I am however irritated with one of his aunts bc as soon as I put out the July date she responded that she had already made reservations at a hotel for the Aug date. I have not sent out Save the Dates and I have made it clear that August was the *month* we were shooting for. NEVER did I state that anything was set in stone .... I guess I shouldnt worry about any of this as it wasnt my mistake, and lets face it: as a bride I have a lot of other stuff on my plate

  • Should we know the background on this?

    And how old are you?  Last time I saw a sig like yours was my 13 year old cousin's MySpace page.

  • Well stop telling people the date then.  You don't have to send out an e-mail or anything.  People will get notice when you send a save the date.

    Well that's her own darn fault for jumping the gun. You're gonna get lots of opinions as you're planning your wedding, you'll just have to filter out stupidity like this.

  • I actually googled it... it appears to maybe be someone from the Marianas islands?  I didn't read in depth, so I could be wrong.

  • I googled too and didn't find that, but I admit to being lazy and not reading too much. I found a recipe for it, but that can't be what it is. . .

  • You also posted this on 3 boards, which is rather unnecessary.

    And I wasn't saying you were 13, I was saying your screen name is one that a 13 year old would use.  Difference.

  • different boards = different posters = different responses
    which is waaay true bc I have gotton better responses/advice elsewhere

  • but posting it on a board where no one knows who the hell you are means that 90% of the people who will read it probably dont give two craps, especially here.
  • yeah... I guess its hard to get ettiquette advice on how to approach and issue on an ettiquette board.....

    and since when is not talking/giving details about a situation NOT getting to know someone?

  • let me give u some help it might b good to not type and have an SN like a 13 y/o

    Seriously, don't stress over what a random aunt says about your date. Any hotel I can think of will allow her to change the check-in date on the room without any penalties, so she'll be fine. Especially since she was dumb enough to book so early, it's her own fault. In fact, I'd tell her to cancel the room entirely and wait until you can set up a hotel block, which will probably result in a cheaper room rate.

    So a wedding anniversary in itself wouldn't carry enough "meaning" for you?
  • Ditto Nebb and Dani, I didn't see you ask for any advice.

    You didn't request any advice, you told a story.  What do you want advice on? How to make a more intelligent looking screen name?

  • What, exactly, is the problem? That your aunt booked a room? That you had to change your date? I honestly don't understand the nature of the etiquette problem.
