I've been considering sending an email to the church coordinator to share how I feel, but have been holding off, because part of me originally just wanted to move on from this. But since it's still bugging me, I think I owe it to myself to be assertive and let them know that what they did was not acceptable, especially given the amount of money we paid them. And maybe I can save another bride the heartache in the future. <br /><br />Mrs. Beever, I did consider having her read the blessing before her toast, but she pointed out that it wouldn't fit with the humerous tone she was planning. Then we did think about having her read it before dinner, but in the end, I just didn't get the message to our planner and DJ in time. Oddly, it bothers me so much more now than it did that day. I guess I was just having so much fun that nothing could bring me down!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226523010102160874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-39674114012818605672010-07-22T12:30:52.550-04:002010-07-22T12:30:52.550-04:00I'm sorry things didn't go as planned!

We're having a friend officiate so we'll be able to go through the ceremony before the actual rehearsal, and our coordinator is helping us rehearse. I hope everything goes smoothly!GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-72498283364994190152010-07-22T11:17:34.700-04:002010-07-22T11:17:34.700-04:00Awww so sorry :(Awww so sorry :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614330122999630436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-89209430725890505882010-07-22T09:55:34.684-04:002010-07-22T09:55:34.684-04:00I'm sorry this happened, but it sounds like yo...I'm sorry this happened, but it sounds like your ceremony was beautiful! I would be upset, too, if one of my blessings was left out, and if the priest forgot to say our names! We are doing everything we can to have both our musicians, both officiants and everyone involved in the wedding at our rehearsal. We set the rehearsal for 5:00 the Friday before our wedding, so I'm hoping that everyone will make it on time :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-88789402056094829932010-07-22T09:47:14.399-04:002010-07-22T09:47:14.399-04:00Ok, those mistakes were unacceptable.

Was there any chance it could have been read by her at your reception before dinner was served perhaps? That's what I would have done...but like you said, you're so caught up in the moment you don't think clearly to deal with things. <br /><br />I have already shared the same lessons - to be sure that *everyone* is there and that you run through the entire thing...not word for word, but at least go over what will be happening and where everyone should be and be doing. <br /><br />So frustrating that you had the same experience I did. Thankfully, I didn't have things done wrong like not introducing us correctly with our names...what a moron! I mean I know he's a priest...but the 'newest couple in the world'??? Who does that? Did he forget your names?!? I'm so sorry.Born to be Mrs. Beeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186370322714278012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-9225533258317166512010-07-22T09:38:10.885-04:002010-07-22T09:38:10.885-04:00=(

I'd have been super bummed too....and probably a bit angry. But like you said....nobody noticed, and in the eyes of all the spectators, everything went perfectly. I always think (to make myself feel better) "it could always be worse". =lBelinda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703220627049594562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-30760432768889112622010-07-22T09:19:41.564-04:002010-07-22T09:19:41.564-04:00That is sad.

But as you said, there is nothing that can be done...just smile.

You can see if you can have a wedding photo blown up and add the blessing to the photo (kinda like what Geezees does: http://geezeescanvas.blogspot.com/2010/07/work-and-play-find-your-balance-friday.html)...<br /><br />Although we had our officiant at the ceremony I think what helped more than not is being able to talk to her multiple times up to the wedding. We had my dad's cousin officiate and we wrote our own ceremony so there was a lot of communication and it made everything work out perfectly. Communication is key :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998209409220136371noreply@blogger.com
