I'm done and over this. I give up.

So sorry you are going through this! But please before you throw in the towel all together go to the people you care about most that you know you can rely on and ask them for their help in finding you another, better venue. There was another girl on here that lost her venue to the flood in iowa... her venue was like 9 ft under water. She ended up with a venue that had some really awesome personal family history. What im saying is that she ended up with a place that was amazing and everything worked out for her... Im sure things will happen for you just the same! If the vegas thing seems more like your style then go for it, if not, dust it off and try again! You can do it and we all know it!

Hire a planner! Or if they had the flood now and your wedding isn't until next June- they should be back up and running by then!

If not, then you can do the quickie Vegas style wedding...

Don't give up hope! I think we have all shed a few tears in this endeavour- but it will all be worth it when you finally say "I Do"

We are all to help you when you need it. I understand the frustration I am frustrated almost every single day. Just remember that this is about you and your FH. Us wedding wire women are all here to help each other and provide support so lean on us. I know that I lean the girls here a lot.

No! Don't give up!! Here's my story..I hope it helps you realize things really do happen for a reason! Saturday 7/24 I got a phone call that my outdoor ceremony venue was 17 feet under water due to the dam breaking in Iowa. 17 feet!! That's on top of 3 feet of mud. I drove the 4 hours the monday prior to the wedding to go check out the damage and try and find something else. There was NOTHING available. I had totally given up. Trust me..there are threads on here stating so. Randomnly I had an urge to check the town's website again and when I did I saw a link to the historical society. I called them..they gave me a 3 or 4 person phone tag game and I finally talked to this one woman who said she'd love to have our wedding at her location. it turned out to be an original train depot that my great gpa had walked through when he was a conductor for Rock Island RR years ago! I had my wedding a week ago and it was gorgeous. Things WILL get better. Keep your head up and breathe!

I agree with the ladies...dont give up, i know it can be frustrating, but when it comes down to it that day really is special and the happiest day of your life. If vegas is really for you, then do it but I do think its your anger speaking. As far as fs, mine was like that too, but just ask us or friends that you can rely on. Sleep on it, and then decide...oh yea, planners are also a lot of help,so maybe get one, good luck!

Don't give up, hon! You know the old saying when one door closes another one opens! You're still 10 months away, things will turn around and you'll have your fairytale wedding! Hang in there, sis!

I agree don't give up; take a break, relax a little than come back to it and see how it feels. If you are still really stressed and frustrated than maybe you can look at getting help like from a wedding planner.

I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason.. and haven't proved wrong yet! Just believe it will all work out in the end and try not to stress so much. Like everyone else has said, go to the people who know you and love you most and ask them for help/advice!

It wouldn't be a wedding if some of the planning didn't go wrong!

Thanks ladies it's just so crazy. I'm going to check out a few wedding planners. I want to ask my family/friends but I don't want to and up getting mad at them when something don't go as plan. I know they will help in a heart beat

Deep breath... in ....out... in... out.

Sorry it's all going to hell in a handbasket for you. I hope things will get back on track for you soon.

Antonette don't be so hard on your self girly. You could not control the flooding or the hall problem. This is actually a good thing that the flooding happened well before your wedding so you could find a nice place to have your wedding and it not of been to late. Also as far as the spouse not participating well welcome to the group if we all had help we all wouldn't be here helping each other. Nothing ever goes as planned and you still have time to get everything in order. And don't cry or get stressed out girl just take a deep breath and think of other options. I didn't even know!!! all this went into planning a wedding untill I jumped in over my head and because you all you guys I feel so much better about it all and can't wait to see what I created from this lil brain of mine for everyone else to enjoy its ok to laugh at your self, start over, and get frustrated but never give up. It will all be worth it. Cause you and your FH is worth it!
