So what would an engagement be without a little drama from his mama?!! Ok-- disclaimer-- I am going to vent a little-- and mostly bc the FI hasn't heard about it yet. He is sleeping after working till 6 am.
So-- FI and I were engaged before and we had to cancel our wedding the first time around. When we decided we were going to move forward with the wedding, I called all the old vendors back to see if my deposits could be shifted to our now date. Everyone agreed, but the venue told us they would only apply half because they said they couldn't re-book our date.
When we first chose that venue, I gave them a check for a deposit, and thought she was going to email the contract to me. When I asked about them, she told me that they do not do contracts. (I know everyone is like what!?) So I talked it over with the FI and we both agreed it would be poor business for us to go with them. FI called and asked them to write a contract, and they said they would get back to us. One week later, she calls him and tells him that I need to write the contract. At this point, we bail and find another venue. We decide to cut our losses with the old venue.
So today, I wake up-- and FI's mother has written an email to the old venue threatening to take them to court, and she sends it from her work email, which she happens to work for a law firm. I am majorly mad about this, because we told her we were not interested in starting drama with them. She emails me and tells me has sent it... and I am just frustrated because she ignored the choice we made.
Old Venue writes her back, and CC's me, basically telling her that they can not talk to her, as she did not make the payment on the deposit, and that I would have to contact them. Now I am all tangled up in this drama-- and I really just wanted to move on, without looking back. UGH!!!!! I know she was just trying to help, but it really makes me wonder if this is a glimpse into my future. Not cool.. not cool..
