African American Weddings

WTF Wednesday

So now that I am looking for a venue all over again, I have to start from scratch looking. I had all this information written down and everything...

Anyway, once we booked the yacht, I tossed all that info because I felt like I didnt need it.

How smart (DUMB) was that...

WTF?!?

    I'm so sorry that you are having a tough time finding a venue Tyswife2b.  I know exactly how you feel though.  It was one of the biggest challenges for me during my planning process, and you're at such a stand still with the rest of your planning until you find a venue.  I went all over the place trying to find a venue.  I'm still not 100% happy with my venue because it doesn't embody the type of wedding that I envisioned for myself and it just seems to be the typical wedding venue for this area, but I'm making the most out of it with my decor, and I just couldn't beat the price.  I hope that you find the perfect venue for your special day.
    Now on to my WTF Wednesday...I guess it's not really a WTF.  I just woke up this morning feeling like shyt!  I just wanted to go back to sleep, or in my case go to sleep because I never sleep very well at night.  I just laid in bed crying, waiting for my alarm to go off.  I guess I'm just emotional because I'm PMSing.  I wish I could take a mental health day, but I have too much to do today to do that.  I hate having a vagina!!!!

    Sorry to hear about your sleep trouble tamtam and about your venue issue, TysWife2B.

    I was happy to order my Star Trek pins for the wedding (using those instead of corsages for the groom's party) and WTF they are not getting shipped until 4/9/10?!! That's less than a month before my wedding. If they are not here by then I will be highly upset.

    ladylum ---can I tell you how cool the Star Trek lapel pins are?!?  The  FI is more a Star Wars person, but I love Star Trek.  I recently introduced him to it.  Can you believe he only knew William Shatner from Priceline commercials and Boston Legal!

    FI and I got roped into ordering this cookware that we heard about from a bridal show from Celebrity Crystal and China.  The sales tactics were ridiculously aggressive.  In fact, they continue to call my house and job, under a different company name to attempt to get us to order more.  Anywho, come to find out, the company uses multiple names Royal Prestige, The Bridal Registry, etc. and is a total scam.  Yes, we received the cookware and all but it is definitely not what they claimed it would be.  So today, FI is contacting them to see if we can return everything for a full refund and cancel the agreement.  They claim the cookware was a healthier way of cooking....um, not true.

    Articles about this scam:

    Wish I had done research like this prior to purchasing.  SMH at myself!  Hope FI is successful in negotiating with them.  If not, we will send a letter, and copy our state Attorney General's Consumer Protection division.

    WTF Why did my grandmother who lives in the same house as my Aunt say she is not coming beacuse she did not get her own personal invitation in the mail!!!!! When the invite came to the house in which my Aunt owns but my Grandmother lives in she took the invitation immediatly to my grandmother and said" look tina's invite came today, your still going right?," "NO I WASN"T INVITED" Replied my grandmother!!!!! WHen my Aunt was like I think she only sent 1 invite per household she just was still like I was invited! R U FING SERIOUS! Do you know how much it cost to mail square invitations? $1.48 EACH! If I sent multiple invitations to everyone who lived with another relative I would have payed more in shipping than the freakin invitaitons cost. WTF!!!!!!!!

    Tinamm - Sorry to hear about the craziness...hopefully she will still just come out anyway.

    Ladylum - Have you tried Target? I dont know how big you are but I ended up in DD and got my nursing bras from Target. Also, is there a Motherhood Maternity or any other maternity stores where you are?

    Tyswife2B I was just going to reccommend Target to Ladylum, and I love the Star Trek pins too.  I love your whole theme Ladylum.  OFF, I am cracking up at the fact that Alex only knows William Shatner from Priceline commercials and Boston Legal.  Too funny!

    I know the feeling. The first venue we had chose was way to small when everything was set-up. Not only did I have to find a new venue, I had to change our date. It was hard as ever to do. Just when you think everything was in place. I had to check with all the other vendors first to make sure 09-11-10 was still available. Thank You Jesus we signed contract for church (which changed also) and reception venue yesterday.
    I'm praying that everything will work out for you also.

    roflmao@Alex. Boston Legal and Priceline?!


    Ladies, I am a 40DDD before nursing. I nursed my first son and they didn't go back down *sigh* so that's why I am having a hard time finding a nursing bra. I did look at Target's website so I will try there and Motherhood Maternity if Target doesn't have my size.
