Hey ladies...

So everything was set.. Bijad is coming in this Saturday, February 27th. I called to see how I was going to get my deposit to the lady who owns the location I wanted to rent for our wedding. I fell in love with it!! She wasn't available, so I left a message. She calls back - is very apologetic and told me she was confused and gave my date to someone else!!!!! I am so heartbroken. Now I am frantically trying to find somewhere else to get married at. Believe it or not, it's very difficult this time of year to find a place. Most places are already booked. :crying: Unless I want to get married at Cousin Sally's uncle's mother's brother farm with the piggy's... where ever that is!!! Grrrrrrr...

Teresa,

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! Did you have something in writing? Is it possible to work out a shared situation? I don't know the location and how it works or what your plans are but do you have any sort of contractual recourse or maybe you can get a discount on a non-traditional day, like in the middle of the week perhaps. And seriously, did you go full throttle on this lady who got "confused"?? I mean why is it that you have to be the one to give it up if you had it first? Something smells fishy...

OMG Teresa, I am so sorry this is happening to you. I hope you can get something worked out. Go back to the place and see what they can do... Since they were the ones that were confused.

Waiting.....Waiting....waiting....waiting....and more waiting..........

Everything will work out and you'll end up laughing about this later on. And believe me, it won't matter where you get married on your wedding day, all you'll care about is the man you're marrying. :)

Oh my gosh, how stressful!! But once you get over the shock, put on your thinking cap and attack the situation from a "troubleshooting" perspective. If you can remove the emotion from things, I'll bet you'll be able to negotiate some kind of compromise with the woman who owns the venue. Someone else mentioned a shared event, which might work depending on what time of day you had planned to be married. If they want morning or afternoon, could you do an evening wedding? You also might be able to barter this mishap to your advantage, because the owner will very likely want to make amends for the "confusion". You could end up still having the venue at a considerable savings!

And if all else fails and you have to find another location, try to keep an open mind. Sometimes doors close and windows open for a reason! But no matter what, GOOD LUCK in working out the details, and enjoy your reunion with Bijad this Saturday!! (Salim arrives one week later, on the 6th, so I am sharing in your excitement!!)

Keep your chin up, Teresa...everything will work out the way it's supposed to.....

Do you see how big the sea is?

Do you see how big the sea is? My love for you is as big as the sea.

Do you see how far the sky is? My love for you is as far as the sky.

As big as the sea and as far as the sky I love you,

I waited for you, I called upon you, I drew you on the promenades,

You sorrow of my life, you tears of the flowers, you season of the birds,

How vast the forest is, my heart is as vast as the forest.

You who are drawn on my door, and drawn in my heart,

I waited for you a year, and throughout the year I would ask the walnut trees,

and I would see you in the sunny days, coming from the sunny days, and lost in the almond leaves,

How small is a tear, and I am just a tear in your way,

I want to vow a candle so that you would let me love you.
