For instance, our vendor while being a sweet nice hippie-esque guy has wonderful food, we still haven't had even an estimate of the cost yet. We were told he'd send it during June. It's now August and tomorrow is a month from the wedding. I need to know the cost so I can find the $$$. Without knowing even an estimate, I attempted to get a line of credit from the bank for the rest of our wedding costs. Of course with all the student loans I currently have, I was denied. Luckily I do have two credit cards with fairly decent credit rates that we can use for the wedding if most of the other vendors do credit or paypal. But it's much more of a pain this way. And seeing as how regular bank loans take 1 month to be approved... we are too late to apply for one of those. Thank you food vendor for putting me between a rock and a hard place!
In addition to this flowers are another issue of pain. Originally I was trying to get relatives to grow me some sunflowers. But crops are being eaten by critters so I have to purchase the flowers for the bouquets. I'm fine with that. And I checked into a local city farm to get them there. But instead of just talking to one lady and having them make a date for me to show up. I got tossed from one person to the next before getting to email the person I needed to contact all along. And even though I said I had been planning to do my own arrangements, it was still unclear at first so yet another email. Finally after several emails later, I have a time and date to visit the farm to see what they are growing and to place an order for flowers. Uggg! At times I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to just show up to the florist down the street from my work and tell them I need two and a half dozen sunflowers and another dozen red flowers with heads the size of sunflowers (gerber daisies if possible). Or even just show up at Giant Eagle and buy whatever they have in stock that week.
At this point, I don't have the time for pussy footing around and playing email or phone tag. I just need to get stuff done. We still have to meet the pastor twice in the next month and create a wedding ceremony. I still have favors, programs, and parasols to make. There's a shit load to do and I really don't want to waste time with people acting stupid. Because lets face it... it's all people acting stupid. I'm a girl who knows what I want. I don't want to be sold anything more or less! Just vend me what you are to vend me!
Anyone else find that all this wedding bs is making you not really want to have a wedding? You want to marry your love but you want to tell all these vendors to sod off!
