I'm 44 days out and I guess I just need to vent. I thought all of the wrinkles had been ironed out and for two weeks it's been one hit after another.
First, due to FMIL's hostility toward FI he decided he would not be inviting her (this was a lifetime in coming, it really doesn't have anything to do with me or the wedding directly). FI's cousin called last night and wanted to get into it with FI. FI handled it fine but it's lovely to know his mother is calling basically anyone in his family (including people we didn't invite) and instructing them that it's her or our wedding and if they come to the wedding she will find out and never speak to them again. Ugh.
Then, it has rained the last 3 times we scheduled engagement pictures and today is really our only day because I can not take any more time off of work and our photographer has weddings booked solid every weekend between now and then. So that's that- no engagement pictures. I know this isn't a huge thing, but I was looking forward to actually working with our photographer before the wedding.
We had two groomsmen- FI's nearest and dearest friends. One of them called yesterday to say he just can't come all the way to CT (he lives in Brooklyn) and that he loves us and hopes we have a great wedding but his mental state is such that he doesn't feel comfortable traveling. I want him to be well and to take care of himself so I'm not angry with him, I'm just bummed that this is his situation.
Only 4 guests booked rooms and our block ended yesterday. People got save-the-dates, we have a website, there was an insert in the invite, and I verbally reminded people at my shower. Today aunt texts me hysterical that the hotel is telling her they have no rooms.
What's next?!
