yesterday we found out that our wedding venue, which was also doubling as a hotel for our out-of-town guests, got rented out from under us . . . 5 weeks from our wedding!!!
needless to say we're freaking out and furious.
don't they know never ever to take away a bride's venue right before the wedding?! when guests are flying in from the east coast and europe?! when photographers and jazz bands have been booked?! when honeymoon flights have been purchased?! when our entire wedding has been planned around that specific venue?! when we don't know if we can find another venue in our price range on that exact date at such a short notice?!
that place was perfect. it had everything we needed and wanted for every piece of our plan - a beautiful grassy yard, a view of the ocean, a flat patio for dancing, a giant kitchen since we're doing all the food ourselves, and plenty of room for games and picnicking. but now it's gone. life is really shitty sometimes for absolutely no reason. and there's absolutely nothing i can do about it. you'd think at 28 i'd have learned that by now, but it still shocks me.
we have a couple ideas of what to do next to find a new venue, but it's only 5 weeks away and we have such a small budget.
send us all your prayers, happy thoughts, and positive energy that we'll find something that's still available, affordable, and even pretty.
