In fact, I was in a wedding (bridesmaid) when the church burned down a week before the ceremony. They moved the wedding from Rochester, NY to Washington, DC, making it a destination wedding. The church was paced to capacity and the wedding went off without a hitch.Shirley Hailstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575947003867688450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-31092450012262871702015-04-17T10:09:35.193-07:002015-04-17T10:09:35.193-07:00You don't know the half of it.

Ron and I were married so long ago that all we did was book the church, order a cake, hire a photographer and get married. One thing I remember fondly - instead of traditional bouquets, my attendants carried small baskets filled with daisies. We had the best time.

She offered to do my cake as a present. She brought me books to look at. I chose a cake. She brought a different cake to the wedding and said "The one you chose was too hard to make." Then, she charged me for makingPamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-42140771200186521562015-04-17T08:02:12.464-07:002015-04-17T08:02:12.464-07:00My wedding had one problem after another starting ...My wedding had one problem after another starting with my reception hall burning to the ground one month before the wedding. I did get everything the way I wanted in the end, but I had to fight over the new reception hall, the cake, the buffet, and the bride’s toast. Everyone had an opinion. Fortunately, the groom and I were on the same page.

I could tie a red bow around my computer chair. I have to say the wedding planners for each of my daughters pulled me aside and said how nice it was that I let my daughters do the choosing of everything and didn't make a fuss about anything.
