Sunday evening, just three weeks before my wedding, I
received an email that the venue was being foreclosed upon. I was in complete
shock and then broke down sobbing. My perfect fairy tale day wasn’t going to be
what I had dreamed. (which lately has been nightmares, so there is a silver lining) It has been a rough
and quite emotional few days for me. My parents and Brandon have been great
through the whole thing. Letting me cry, be upset, mad, disappointed. Whatever
I need to feel they let me and have helped call places and anything else they
can do. This morning an article was posted online and our vendors now know and
are trying to help. I feel so blessed that the wedding community here wants to
help those in my situation. Our amazing photographers emailed me to check on me
and to give me possible solutions.
While we are looking into these options I please ask you be
respectful. I go from cry to wanting to
kill someone the next second. This is a completely awful and stressful thing
that has happened. For those of you
attending the wedding, right now we have no answers. I am sorry we don’t but it
has been a rocky few days looking into our options. I just ask that you please
refrain from asking questions. It is a delicate situation and one I don’t
really want to talk about. I had my perfect day planned out to a tee and just
not that much longer until I got to see the whole thing come together. Well we
are having to start over and the next few days are going to be consumed with
meetings and talking through what is the best option to move forward with.
I know it is just one day and it won’t matter in the end. I
get to marry Brandon and that is all that matters. But I have spent the past 3
and a half months making every center piece, mantel decoration, etc. Everything
coming into our unknown venue has been approved if not made by me. So it is
heart wrenching to know some of those things may have to change. I know it will all come together and be a
wonderful day.
While we do appreciate the concern, love and support…right
now I don’t have it in me to talk about it. It is not to be offensive to you,
but to save the silver of sanity that is rapidly leaving me. I was completely
sucker punched; had a bomb dropped on me…whatever you want to call it…it sucks.
Please refrain from calling for the next week or so…I wish I could turn my
phone off, but sadly it is also my way of contacting new venues, my parents and
Brandon. I just please, please ask that all of you can help save my sanity. I
know people have asked what they can do to help, but right now I just need some
peace and quiet. Every time someone brings it up, I cry…I don’t have time to
cry. J
So what you can do to help us in the meantime is be respectful that these next
few days are going to be complete craziness for my family. I will get answers
to all of you as soon as I have them…and for those of you who know I am a
control freak know it will be soon. :)
Thank you everyone! We love and appreciate everything you do
for us.
