Communication Rant

Hi, guys I just need a minute to rant. Planning this wedding has been a lot of fun, but boy does it come with its headaches. My fiancé has been working a lot so I have been the main contact for our venue and planner during that time. Meaning, I’ve been making the deposits, writing the emails, sending the texts, scheduling the meetings. It has also been very obvious that it has been coming from me. Yet everyone has been addressing me as my fiancé by name and mentioning me as a third person. It has been very frustrating because I’ve been in contact with them and yet they don’t seem to know who they’ve been communicating with. To clarify, I have also been signing these messages with my name to make it clear that I am the one contacting them and making the meetings. There shouldn’t be any confusion. It just feels like even with the wedding, which most of the time is the bride’s thing, I’m still in the man’s world.


To put the cherry on top, my venue has had the worst communication skills thus far. I have been trying to organize a meeting with their planner and my own since my wedding is now 7 months away and we have only met once so far. They are the ones who reached out to me asking when I can be available to come in. I contacted my own planner and we agreed on a time and day that would best suit us both which I then contacted the venue to confirm the day and time. I didn’t hear from them for 3 days. The night before the meeting was supposed to happen, another person from the venue contacted me confirming the day and time for the meeting. As far as I was concerned, that should’ve been it. Boy was I wrong. The morning of the meeting day, I get a message from the venue’s planner that she actually is not available at that time and wanted to reschedule for the following day. I’m don’t know how this miscommunication happened, but it’s very frustrating since I’ve been waiting many days to confirm something. I agreed to a reschedule, but unfortunately this means my own planner will not be able to go since she will be away during that time.
I apologize for such a long post. It’s been a very frustrating week to be honest. I just needed the rant.
