32 DAYSSSS!

...And still so much LEFT to do! It's going by WAY too quickly!
We finished paying off our venue on Monday only to find out the wedding coordinator was on personal leave for a FEW months... and my wedding's next month!
No one decided to tell us, so it was a BIG shock to go into the mansion, ask for the lady, and them tell us she wasn't there... I didn't know what to do! I was upset and shocked all at the same time!
The people taking over aren't honoring promises that were given to us by the original person, so a lot of things are having to change in this short amount of time. It's very nerve-wrecking!
But, it will be done however now since they said a lot of the things we were promised "are not Oakland's responsibilities"... so now we have even MORE to do! GRR!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING MARRIED AT OAKLAND'S MANSION! It is more work than you originally think, and are no help to you when you need it. it costs more money than just getting a place that provides you with the services you need. Just a little F.Y.I. for you soon-to-be brides!
You have to rent your own chairs to have the wedding outside
(and they are VERY expensive for some-what decent chairs!), none of their tables/chairs can go out of Maney Hall... not even out on the sidewalk covered by the awning. It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! They overcharge for the services they barely provide. All they GIVE you is somewhere to stand to get married and a small "hall" to have the reception in. You have to pay THEM to prepare your OWN food, and you have to pay THEM if you have it catered... it's a lose-lose situation on your side, but they are making all kinds of money to provide basically nothing.

Okay, wow... that little rant went way off kilter and I got off track really quick! haha... We also paid on our photog, as well. I can't wait to see all my pictures!!!!
ANYWAYS! We have a lot left to do... so hopefully we can get everything done in time... or we just won't have it I guess! lol :)

Bella has grown A LOT! :) And still as mean as ever! Hopefully she'll grow out of that!
