What started as a blog to relive stress and include distant family members on the details of our pending nuptials has since changed to be about what ever the heck pops in to my head. I am a newlywed, mom to 3 pit bulls and a Mommy to be to a little rug-rat due February 2014. These are our adventures.

Stood up?!?! Me???
**deep breath**........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it so hard and stressful to plan a wedding?!?!?!?!
Last time I posted I talked about the disappointment over not beig able to hire my either of my top 3 photographers to photograph my wedding (for varying reasons.) Well in an effort to be more open, my mother suggested I take a meeting with a company whose advertisement I found via Facebook. I wasn't completely against it, but I also wasn't overly thrilled with the idea either. I had of course done a bit of research on them and was only able to see a few select photos.
At any rate, I sent in the online inquiry form and was IMMEDIATELY bombarded with 1-800 phone numbers calling me, leaving voicemails and a bunch of emails. Needless to say, I was completely turned off. I'm not really one for big companies. They tend to be generic, impersonal and have big company pricing. Anywho, I took the bait and set up an appointment for this afternoon to meet with one of their " Wedding Specilist." (Red flag #1: I'm meeting with some random person and not the photographer.)
Due to traffic and just being Kim, I'm a few minutes late. I arrive at some random Panera Bread in Canton at 4:36 for our 4:30 appointment. The "Wesding Specialist" is not where to be found. I wait a few more minutes then search my email for her contact number. I call and leave a message. I call my mom to side if she had heard from the woman I was Supposed to be meeting and she hadn't. So I call Andrew to tell him how mad I was about beig stood up by a potential vendor. He has the genius idea to email her (not sure why I hadn't thought about it,) so I do. At this point is about 5pm. She responds immediately that she waited from 4pm - 4:45pm, called me and left a voicemail and had thought I just wasnt coming. We went back and forth through EMAIL with the end result being she had the time wrong and she was meeting with another potential client at that moment and could not come back to meet with me.
Are you kidding me?!? Who sets an appointment, calls and confirms the appointment on Friday, sends an email on Saturday to change the meeting location due to the "Sailabration" in Baltimore and then STAND ME UP!
Can it really be this difficult to find and hire a photographer?!?! So I guess I'm back on the search... Hopefully I can find someone who can deliver what I have in my head and make it in to something tangible.
