I’m still soaking in all of JT in from last night, so I’m
actually not going to blog about him today. But I will say my legs might
possibly be sore today from dancing last night. It was basically a dance party,
and I didn’t hate it.
Today, I’m bringing you Tales of Bridezilla Ed. 2. I knew
only having one bridezilla moment was a long shot.
I, not so subtly, alluded to the fact that something might
have gone wrong last Thursday. But the even actually occurred on Tuesday. Two months
ago, I even blogged about it!! I booked a cake testing appointment. This place
was recommended to me by Duck Dude’s friend who grew up in the area we are
getting married. The problem is they do not have appointments on Saturday.
So, I made an appointment for Tuesday of Thanksgiving break!
I talked to a lady with a very heavy accent of some sort and I was a little
worried she wasn’t understanding what my exact question was. “If I wait until
Thanksgiving, is that still plenty of time to taste and order a wedding cake?”
So after I repeated myself a couple times and finally felt comfortable enough
that she understood. We hung up and I waited two months for the appointment.
The day before I called to verify my appointment. I called
at 5:14 and I got a voicemail with their hours. They closed at 5. Shoot. Missed
them by 14 minutes. My appointment was at 10 the next morning and they opened
at 9. I figured I would just call at 9 to verify. I called at 9:04 and it went
to voicemail. I called at 9:28 and it went to voicemail. By this time I have
already picked up my mother who took a day of vacation for this and Duck Dude
was following in his truck (he wasn’t staying for the flower appointment that
afternoon).
I just had a bad feeling the entire time. Call me a Debbie doubter
or call it intuition. I didn’t have a good feeling.
We pull up. All lights off. And a piece of paper taped to
the door.
“Closed
for remodeling. Will reopen Dec. 2”
Ughhhhhhh. Dec. 2nd?! That was literally an
entire week from the day we were there. How could they do this?!?! How could
they just close without even telling me?! I drove an hour out there for
nothing. And I was mad. I was an angry elf and I wasn’t really up for anyone
trying to console me at the moment. I made the appointment TWO MONTHS AGO and I
was mad. And I was trying not to cry, because that would be ridiculous. And so
I was just mad instead. Mad, mad, mad.
Duck Dude left a voicemail for them while I sat in the car
being angry.
They called back a couple days later…………..
…. It seems that in my conversation with the lady with
accent, we both got off the phone without me giving her any of my information.
No phone number, no email, nothing. They had zero way of contacting me in order
to tell me they were closing.
So I’m still half way mad, because while I should have been
smarter than that… it’s still their job to get my info, right?! Well, that’s
what I am telling myself.
And I still have no cake.
Happy Thursday.
Boo I'm sorry! I've yet to find a cake person period. I'm having issues with my venue. It's too long of story to even tell but it's seriously my only option at this point & I want to cry every time I think about it, I actually did almost cry on the phone with the events coordinator the other day but was able to hold it in but then I turned around & called my maid of honor & used every expletive I could about the place & cried & then I felt better lolol.
ReplyDeleteWhaaat?! For real! That is not good!!! It has to be your special day!!! You'll make it your special day no matter what! I know you will!
DeleteBreathe. You will be ok. I went with one of the most amazing expensive places in all the land for my cake, and I am fairly certain I could have done it differently. I got a simple, tasty cake, and honestly, that is all that matters. Because at the end of the day, the day is about you, him, and being happy. I am not sure where you live, but I have seen so many great places all over the country. Feel free to email me!
ReplyDeleteAt this point I am about ready to just go with who I want even though the delivery charge will be insane since our venue is about an hour outside of Dallas. But thank you for the reminder. You are absolutely right... it's about us and I know we will be happy no matter what the cake is!
DeleteOh no, what a horrible moment!!! Good luck with your cake. I'm not even joking, if you happen to live near a Publix, their cakes are WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteI legitimately looked up their locations. Unfortunately, there are none in Texas. But if there end up being any somewhere before March 7th, I will look into it!!! :)
