Earlier this week I got a call from our pianist who I had booked back in the spring, an acquaintance of our ceremony vocalist. She was asked to do a wedding at her church on the same date as ours. We went over my timeline and realized it wasn't possible. A bit later, she called back to ask if I would mind if she substituted another pianist in her place because she really wanted to do the wedding at her church. I said that was fine, but she should be aware that my programs are already printed and I would have to reprint them. Two hours later she called back and said she felt terrible about the whole thing, she would do our wedding. Phew, near miss number one.
Just now I got a call from our baker, she has to close the bakery business has been too slow to maintain a store front. I was wondering she didn't cash my check after our final meeting a week ago. She is still willing to make the cake and deliver it, but it she wanted to give me a heads up. I appreciated her call and her honesty, but that was another very close call!
