i am so glad to hear you have been to make lemonade from your lemons and you sound like you are relaxed and ready to roll with the flow.
i'm also glad you posted this problem, because i don't know about anyone else, but i think it gives a lot perspective to all the things we as brides freak out about during the planning process.

I'm with creampuff. Reading all this made me cry. I'm so glad everything is working out for you. Enjoy your wedding! It's going to be a blast, and being married will be even better!
empyle1---I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through, but I was truly inspired by your update. I'm happy to hear that things are working themselves out and that you will be able to have your wedding! Best of luck!
OP here again... Some of you mentioned that you wanted to hear how things went, so I thought I would post.
We decided to go with the fantastic theme of "Flooded with love" Thanks to those of you that provided us with such a good idea. We asked our church congregation to provide us with any extra rain related items that they had (umbrellas, raincoats, boots, etc) and decorated our reception with them. We opened the umbrellas and hung them upside down from the ceiling, which turned out really cool when softly lit from above!
My cousin's dress did infact work, so I wore that. It was great getting to share something like that with her.
We were able to quickly reprint programs and other paper goods that were needed, so that wasn't an issue either.
Thank you again for all the support. It was a tough situation at the time, but everything worked out wonderfully!
I am so glad everything worked out for you! Do you have pictures you would like to share?
I'm so glad it all worked out and that you ended up with a wonderful, memorable wedding. Thanks for showing us all that one can make it through an experience like yours with a smile at the end!! Congrats on your new marriage and best of luck. :-)
Thank you for coming back to give us that wonderful update! Congratulations on prevailing over natural disaster and on getting married
I'm so happy everything worked out for you! :) You were in my thoughts these last 2 weeks whenever I heard about the floods on the news.
Wow! You are amazingly strong and resilient!! Not only that, but as someone who is completely new to the community (newly engaged), I am so impressed with the outpouring of kindness from the girls here.
Makes someone like me want to stick around and get to know you all!
I'm so glad that everything worked out! Stories like yours and all the help you were offered really make me feel better about the world. Best Wishes!
