so it's been an interesting week for us in wedding planning. first our oldest texts us ( no phone call - mind you) to say have the invitation read "Erik & Paula" - what???!!! I get this while I'm standing in the middle of Barnes & Noble on my very horrible, no-good day!! can we say "extremely pissed off??" now before you jump to the conclusion that I am a wicked Mom, undestand that we booked the Inn ONE YEAR AGO - there are ONLY 15 rooms and we very carefully filled the guest list according to the rooms. we had the 2 boys (young men) sharing a room .
so, frazzled by his text, I call our son and say a. a phone call would have been better and b. the 3 of them have to share a room as there are NO more rooms at the Inn!! he says, no problem - we'll get a room elsewhere . this is SO not acceptable and I advise him of so. ok, so we all agree, they will share a room. matter settled.
then , yesterday JJ and I go out to Long island to visit our best man and his wife - a nice day of BBQ and friends. the best man's Mom has taken seriously ill and demands round the clock care by her aide AND her sons! so our best man tells us sadly that he cannot commit to the honor bestowed upon him. it definitely wouldn't be fair to us. JJ and I completely understand but we are crushed as we had so wanted them to be there. gladly, they will be able to come to our luncheon as they can arrange care for his Mom for that day.
so that leaves us this morning with NO best man and a spare room at the Inn - which works out in favor of our oldest. I am keeping both room arrangement plans until the last possible moment as events do occur and changes happen. and JJ now has to decide on a new best man - I'll let you know what happens
but it's just amazing how these things come out of left field!!
