I haven’t heard back from the coordinator at our venue, so I called and found out shes no longer there and someone else will be taking over. Then I have the DJ, who has been ridiculously hard to reach ever since he got his deposit. He hasn’t responded to my email and the date is too close for me to not worry. My baker made up and excuse and told me if I want flowers on my cake, I’m responsible for getting them and delivering them to her. My bridesmaid isn’t talking to me since I told her she can’t bring her boyfriend (who hates me and my fiance) and I think I’m down a bridesmaid now. I vented about this in an earlier post, but basically, we discussed it and I thought he wasn’t coming, and thought she knew I didn’t want him there.

*massive huge hugs* I second the icecream idea. Or maybe go and grab some chocolate. Just remember it’ll work out in the end somehow.

Ugh, when bad things happen, they all happen at once, hey? So our venue has recently done the same thing – our ‘person’ has disappeared and we’re left with someone else who seems to be REALLY flaky, which stresses me out. On that front, maybe schedule an appointment to meet with the new person & iron out your concerns.
I third the icecream idea.

Oh man, I’m so sorry. I just went through the EXACT same thing with my ex-MOH. It sucks so bad to have a falling out with a friend over your wedding. *hugs* to you, hon.

and….the crap has piled over into today now too. My mom called to check the status of her dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses. Her dress “just came in” and the bridesmaid’s won’t be in until april 24th! All of the dresses were promised to be in by the end of this month. They were all ordered at the same time (mid December). This is so upsetting because a few of them are from out of town and this leaves little time to get alterations and pick up the dresses. ughhh

@Ellabellaxo: Oh that sucks! Is there nothing you can do? Why won’t the dresses be in at the same time?
*hugs* Guess you’d better get the icecream back out again. But chin up Honey. It’ll work out somehow. *more hugs*

As a fellow May bride, I can totally relate. It’s getting so close and it seems like everything’s just going to sh*t. At this point, I’ve taken on a total zen outlook on it all, I do what I have to get done and let other people take care of the rest. Have your mom deal with the dress fiasco, and go get some junk food!

@MrsMaine: You are totally right. It seems like last week everything was organized and on track and now half of it has gone to shit, as you said. Thats what happens when you have to rely so heavily on other people.
On the flip side, I am going to have a great weekend. Hair trial later today, dinner with my brother and his girlfriend, drinks with an old friend, then Sunday is a bridesmaid/favor making party.

@Ellabellaxo: See! Great things to look forward to! My bridal shower is this Sunday and I just got back from mailing the wedding invites out, so I’m super excited!! The rest of it can wait until I feel like dealing with it!

UPDATE: Fiance called the DJ yesterday and left a message. No response. I called today and left a message telling him that I’m concerned and worried because we haven’t heard back from him. He called back soon after, no appology or explanation. He was pretty rude too. I asked if there was something that we should know, if there was a problem, etc. I also said I hoped he could understand our concern after we tried emailing and calling with no response. He said nothing. Then he said I usually meet with the couple a month before so…you have more than a month to go but when do you want to schedule a meeting? We decided on next Saturday. I’m happy we have a meeting just so put off by his attitude though and I wonder if this will affect his performance.
