The Little Things... (long)

So, how do you let go of the little things that drive you nuts from your wedding?? There are some things that are really bothersome especially because if you spend a lot of money, you should expect a certain level of service. The florist put all the stuff I asked her not to in my bridesmaid bouquets, they were still pretty though. But she forgot to cut the rust pollon off of the tiger lillies and some got on my dress. Really? Thankfully it had folds so I could hide it. But that could have been a major disaster.

Then the cake looked horrible and they made both tiers vanilla when one was supposed to be chocolate- I'm going in tomorrow to get some money back because that was ridiculous.

And the reception place.. oh man. They were crap. They left these hideous wreaths up on the wall when they told me 3 times they would be down. THe appetizers and wine were not out when we all got there, it took them like 10 extra minutes, everyone was standing around, when they said they would be ready. The candles weren't lit when I got there.. and they left the cardboard on the bottom of the cake so the florist had to put this ugly ribbon around the base of it to hide the cardboard. Oh and they kicked us out at 9:30 when we had the room till 10. It's so upsetting when you spend 9 months planning something and spend a lot of money!!

Now, we had a beautiful wedding. The flowers were gorgeous, the food was good, and so was the cake, despite the mistake. Everyone had a good time and stayed late till we had to kick them out. But I tell you- even realizing all that, I'm having a hard time with those little things pretty much based off principal! Thanks for letting me vent.. I don't know where else to :/

My advice- try really hard on your day to not let those things bother you and assign someone to take care of the little things that go wrong so you don't have to!

    You'd figure a florist would know better! Good thing you were able to hide the flower stains. I am glad you still had a great wedding. I'll certainly have to take your tips.

    I am setting my hall up myself, so hopefully I'll remember to set everything up right. I just need to figure out who's going to light the candles before everyone gets there!

  • Oh my goodness!  So sorry about the crap that happened!  At least you are still in a great mood about it and enjoyed your wedding day!  I think something(s) will go wrong at everyone's wedding - just like things go wrong in everyday life.  Just remember the best and laugh about the worst!  How does it feel to be a wife?  How was Disneyland?

  • How cute - Bride ears?!!  I bet that was adorable!  Does it feel weird to say "My husband"?  So happy for you!
