What happened to your wedding?
Not sure where to start with my wedding but ill give the basics
I booked my disney wedding and honeymoon with
First choice/Thomson around 12 months before our wedding, my dh went on deployment and I would go in each wk to pay off the balance. Anyways you can't book the wedding side until so many months out, so when the time came we paid in full and signed all forms!
Around 2 months before the wedding we still had not had our wedding book with the selections we get to choose plus we had upgraded to the wedding pavilion and so wanted the book of extras to make our day more special,
I was not apart of DIS at this time and only knew the basics of what I was entitled to through the disney wedding site.
A month before the wedding dh came home and asked if we had a wedding date yet" you choose a date about a month out"
I called first choice and said I had heard nothing from the wedding planner, they said not to worry they would sort it, by now I'm starting to panic.
Anyways 2 wks before our trip I called the first choice wedding team myself who told me I had no wedding!!! Non of the paper work was sent off and so they had cancelled our wedding!
As you can Imagine I was in bits, the man on the phone was rude nasty and said there was nothing to be done as it was too late! Even though they had our money.
I called dh at work and we drove straight to the
travel agent,
I had gotten to know the girls who worked there and they was shocked at what had happened and swore the paper work had been sent off.
Anyways they got disney on the phone and I made my choices for flowers cake etc but could get NON of the extras I wanted as it was too late! So no carriage characters or dessert party! we had 15 friends and family coming I cried for days.
We got to disney and found out our wedding had been shoved between 2 others! Our planner spent the whole time sorting out the other weddings while attending ours!
We was shoved in a horrid tiny convention room for the cake cutting instead of the terrace over looking the lake we should of had with the upgrade!
We had an amazing photographer Randy who spent ages doing our pictures only for the planner to keep telling him to hurry up! Randy said in no way was he rushing our pictures.
Planner then told me when I went to get another glass of champagne to leave some for my guests! Dh asked for some extra bottles and was told their wasn't any available he questioned this a few times as how could there be no other champagne on the Grand floridian?? she then told us we could not do dh speech as there was no time! As the best man had used up too much time!
All she did was keep looking at her watch and leaving to go talk on her radio about the other wedding! I know it was about the other wedding as my guests told me,
We complained to disney about how devastated we was, for them to put the blame on first choice.
Which I understand but they could have acted like our day meant something, the planner was just rude, plus they never called me to do the 2 30 minute planning sessions.we should have been told about being put in the tiny room in the convention centre section as we had paid for the terrace,
First choice are saying we should be happy we had the wedding!
It was so bad DH told me to plan another wedding, for so long I've been to upset to do so, my adoptive dad passed away a few years before my wedding but loved disney so much and it was his wish for me to be a princess for the day and get married at Disney,
we are planning a blessing so I can have the wedding of my dreams.
To some it may not seem a big deal but to me it was everything I had ever dreamed of as a child going to disney every yr.
