I have been dreaming about my wedding day for 20+ years, and spent the last 2 years planning my wedding.
The week of my wedding, I find out they were closing part of the freeway to my venue for construction. At first, I didn’t think it would be a huge deal and we would just need our shuttles to leave a bit earlier as they would have to use a detour. It is only a 20 minute ride but we had the shuttles leave 1.5 hours before the ceremony to be “safe”.
To make a long story short - it took FOUR hours for the shuttle to arrive (carrying 80% of my guests). I tried to push the ceremony back as long as possible but it was getting dark so I was forced to have my ceremony without the guests on the shuttles. Since we waited so long, it was dark/cold during the ceremony AND the cello I hired for my processional had to leave for another gig. We no longer were able to have a cocktail hour or take sunset photos because that’s when the guests arrived and we had to go straight to dinner.
The rest of night went fine and guests said they had a great time but I can’t help but feel heartbroken when I think about the day. I want to be happy when I think about my wedding but right now it is so painful. Any advice or words of encouragement? I really hope one day I can laugh about this nightmare but for now I can’t stop thinking about how my big day was robbed from me.
