Hi guys,
I mainly registered to the website to get some advice. I'm about eight months into planning my wedding (it's a destination wedding in Thailand) but all "stuff" has hit the fan in the last week. My fiance and I have already sent out our save the dates and Invites, but we just got an email from the resort saying they no longer will honour our booking for our wedding, reception and accommodation for fifty people.
We have people coming from Australia, Canada, Ireland and Finland coming to this weedding- all of which we have promised accommodation to. Now we have nothing- no bookings for reception or ceremony either. While right now I'd rather just cancel the wedding as most things are already booked out (the time we are looking at is peak season over in Thailand). Additionally, there are ten couples so far who have booked airfares and have taken time off already from work (makes sense seeing as the wedding is only six months away now.)
Just to further complicate things, we live abroad for work in India so we have to communicate everything between here, Thailand, my family in Aus and his in Canada. My fiance is very calm about things and thinks that everything will just magically happen. I'm just a tad worried as I don't know how we'll get everything done now (new invites, new hotel, new accommodation inspections, new contracts, new vendors, etc) in such a short time.
If anyone has any advice for me or has been to a destination wedding that could give me any advice (either as a bride or a guest) I would much appreciate it. I'm just a tad stuck here and I'm not 100% sure what I should do. We only heard from the resort this week after having it booked for close to a year and now we have to deal with doing it all again.
As I said, quite a rediculous situation!! :P
