If I don't lose my mind completely by the time our wedding rolls around, I will be surprised.I realized after sending our invites that we had never received confirmation from the church that our ceremony was moved from 2pm to 3pm. I reach into my happy place and remind myself that they've said we're the only event for the day and that logically there will be no issue. FW sends an email to follow-up and to ask a few other questions that didn't occur to us the last time we talked(can we decorate the night before, how early can we arrive day of, confirming a date for rehearsal, etc. )Three days go by without a response to the email. Not a huge span of time, but still. So I decide to call the office.They apparently have replaced their secretary in the last month or two and while the new girl is very sweet...she is clueless. She said she'd check with the pastor about the time change and give me a call back. She seemed so frazzled and confused and stressed by having to find this out, that I felt too bad to even bug her about our other questions. She called back two days later and said the time change was fine, but she's checking whether we'll need to sign a new contract. She called back today to say we will need a new contract, and she wanted to confirm if we still wanted "Debbie" listed as the person signing...I don't know a Debbie. There's no Debbie anywhere on my contract. When I said this, and that it should be FW and I like last time, she asked us for our names and mailing address again.I'm now freaking out. What if they accidentally double booked? Who is Debbie and how did she get associated with my wedding contract? Is this the level of competence I should expect for the rest of my time with them? Also still no answers about the other questions we emailed in (though they went to a general email address for the church and I think it honestly doesn't get monitored even though it's listed on the church website as the point of contact.)Ultimately, I know I'm being crazy, but all of this stuff has me losing it. There's still so much to do and so little time and funds to do it in. Trying to get my bridal party together, or to get answers from them or make plans with them is like herding wet cats. This is the latest item in the pile of things driving me bonkers and just needed to vent my frustrations before I pull my hair out and have to wear a wig to my own wedding.Tl;dr I'm a neurotic mess and a control freak, and FW should really have had me committed the first time I said "I'm going to plan our wedding" because she should have known better (and she did, but wedding planners is expensive ya'll.) via /r/weddingplanning http://ift.tt/2tK4tv6
