I am cheating on you guys.<br /><br />I have very recently started a new blog. I have decided that I am not passionate about weddings anymore, so instead of continuing on with this blog, I am starting a new one.<br /><br />Currently my new blog is really focusing on my newest passion: running; although, I don't want it to stop there. It will not JUST be about running. I want this blog to get more personal. I want to share about my life as a married woman, my love for all things fashion related (even though I have no fashion sense what-so-ever), and every once in a while share a recipe that you can't live without. Who knows, maybe one day down the road, I will be able to share my pregnancy experiences with you too (NO, I am not pregnant now!).<br /><br />I ultimately decided to make this move, to be honest, because I just don't have a passion for weddings anymore. Yes, it was fun. Yes, I am thrilled to be married. BUT, it just isn't me. I want people to get to know me. Instead of changing this blog around, I decided to start with a clean slate. I hope you guys understand. It isn't you, it is me.<br /><br />I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to go with this blog when I first started it, so currently I am anonymous to my readers. I have, however, decided that I want people to know who I am. I am planning on sharing my name and opening up to everyone on Monday. Yep, it is the big day. I am really looking forward to it.<br /><br />Are you interested in getting to know the real me? Then come join me at my new blog! Ultimately, I will be moving to my own domain, but that is still a work in progress. Until then, you can find me at <a href="http://13point1miles.wordpress.com">13point1miles.wordpress.com</a><br /><br />Take care until next time,<br />hisMrs (a.k.a.

Have you missed me?!<br /><br />I know, I know, I know... I have completely neglected you all and I am terribly sorry for that. Will you ever forgive me?!<br /><br />Well, myMr and I have officially been married for 1 year now! Boy, how time flies. It truly seems like just yesterday that we were saying our 'I Dos' in front of all our friends and family. What an amazing year it has been.<br /><br />So, I have a question for any of my amazing readers that are still out there... do you guys still want me to do recaps of the wedding or are you completely over the Buckinghams?! I would love to continue this blog with everything that has been happening with life after marriage as well as recapping our magical wedding day, but only if there is interest.<br /><br />So?

Of course there are splurges here and there, but what is the point of spending a lot of money on something if you don't have to?!<br /><br />Hence, the beginning of "Forever Fridays." On Fridays, I will show you some accessories, dresses and other styling things that won't break the bank. Why "Forever Fridays" you ask? Well, not gonna lie, most of the stuff I show you will most likely be from Forever 21.<br /><br />That place seriously has it all! I typically find items that are very similar to what is being sold at places like Nordstrom (I still <3 you even though you take all my money), but at about half the price or LESS! <br /><br />There are many occasions during the wedding planning process where you need a new outfit. There could be the need for dresses for the rehearsal dinner and bridal showers or sexy tops for the honeymoon... but seriously... it adds up! I will try to ease the burden of the forever diminishing wallets! :) <br /><br />First up is a super cute sun dress from none other than Forever 21. At $22.80, this dress fits the budget perfectly. It could be perfect for a bridal shower that is in the evening, or a honeymoon dress while on the beach! The possibilities are endless!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsD2FnC938Q3vBzpnNjnkEGw0uYeqYb0dmH9GZYTRQr8mYHiQ00GXY5uiVFzooqv5EFobmOH-tVbNCEvggIFwC1iuDvD4fbiU5sle9fm0wJKT_xTNOwyzrTjpfoj_Prg7fmcFhZ3j-HPM/s1600/dress2280.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsD2FnC938Q3vBzpnNjnkEGw0uYeqYb0dmH9GZYTRQr8mYHiQ00GXY5uiVFzooqv5EFobmOH-tVbNCEvggIFwC1iuDvD4fbiU5sle9fm0wJKT_xTNOwyzrTjpfoj_Prg7fmcFhZ3j-HPM/s320/dress2280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478782749591706258" border="0" /></a><br />I am a HUGE fan of this next dress.

Time flew by extremely quickly, but we managed to get ready just in time!<br /><br />I asked our photographer to go to my parent's house in order to take pictures of my girls and I getting ready. I am SO glad he did. We managed to get some great candid pictures. They truly capture the moment.<br /><br />A word of advice to all the brides-to-be... ENJOY THIS TIME IN THE MORNING. There is nothing you can do at this point... everyone knows where they need to be... everyone has been paid... everything will be great no matter what.... SO JUST RELAX! I am soooo glad I did. Nothing could have brought me out of my constant state of euphoria that day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmVF37YbTaEK6gClN-bUJM3ZxqnHsrplBjEcETrEVWR57o6CXErlEBukS_-4vQYNPRFyevvnb3i92MvJ7F3iJF31R-p7W9Ei4P6NaP1zJFfUnoSznXGx8OqmZri2u8WUWs-WeStw84OWy/s1600/SB-003.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmVF37YbTaEK6gClN-bUJM3ZxqnHsrplBjEcETrEVWR57o6CXErlEBukS_-4vQYNPRFyevvnb3i92MvJ7F3iJF31R-p7W9Ei4P6NaP1zJFfUnoSznXGx8OqmZri2u8WUWs-WeStw84OWy/s320/SB-003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478057546901967394" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">[FMIL and JrBMs getting ready]<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikklHQatwzQfMXNpDDq7C7u8YcctxKix4QqAzIo_2ZLH8a9TNUWHIaSBwVsU9vsI_N7hWGKDfiO9cWamUm8LIQzC9tSWNca24ot0T5SWwrsDei3EXCRlDbekTq5-8SaIDDQ7cXFYOJbRGz/s1600/SB-008.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikklHQatwzQfMXNpDDq7C7u8YcctxKix4QqAzIo_2ZLH8a9TNUWHIaSBwVsU9vsI_N7hWGKDfiO9cWamUm8LIQzC9tSWNca24ot0T5SWwrsDei3EXCRlDbekTq5-8SaIDDQ7cXFYOJbRGz/s320/SB-008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478057535725062754" border="0" /></a><br />[My mama helping my dad put on his tie]<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBtV1aDmKb3cIHWOi0sVjGDbRjGZlRcfi8DlNrYr2MAwv8zPSVphOZpQn_CGtCTH6KLW6j3Er3EURTaMdLgSXoudl9W-DzmR7ub-HxCM6ZTj4ZcyY3aNLOizQU6CLu3S32lXPsnMKJe4_/s1600/SB-007.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBtV1aDmKb3cIHWOi0sVjGDbRjGZlRcfi8DlNrYr2MAwv8zPSVphOZpQn_CGtCTH6KLW6j3Er3EURTaMdLgSXoudl9W-DzmR7ub-HxCM6ZTj4ZcyY3aNLOizQU6CLu3S32lXPsnMKJe4_/s320/SB-007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478057528433062802" border="0" /></a><br />[FSIL getting ready... some of my besties laughing in the background]<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD-FqJBYRxeaJM0SQRLJ2EI-k-fBjEf5rf6ojSzZi6a5JsEOptgFLmDQRsIlGxgG6W3u3TDeRHjlrnlbL8xnieSCSU413F2QXLETjJNKZLYl73vGHu9zybNY9VILysv3wC8G_PG64cSPo6/s1600/SB-005.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD-FqJBYRxeaJM0SQRLJ2EI-k-fBjEf5rf6ojSzZi6a5JsEOptgFLmDQRsIlGxgG6W3u3TDeRHjlrnlbL8xnieSCSU413F2QXLETjJNKZLYl73vGHu9zybNY9VILysv3wC8G_PG64cSPo6/s320/SB-005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478057520712127810" border="0" /></a><br />[My nieces looking amazing!

Testing... Is this thing on?Why, hello fabulous blogger friends! Have you missed me? One thing is for sure, I have definitely missed the blogging world. Sooo much has happened over the past couple of months... let me do a quick recap...<br /><br />- MyMr and I are absolutely LOVING the married life. Living together has been a pretty seamless transition. I can't believe he has been my husband for almost 8 months now!! My, how time flies.<br /><br />- MyMr and I started a major lifestyle change when it comes to dieting and exercise. So far, I have lost almost 10 pounds (only 7 more to go!!) and myMr has lost a whopping 24 pounds!!! I am so proud of him.<br /><br />- I have started training for my first 5K, 10K, and get ready for this... HALF MARATHON!!! :)<br /> <br />- My 5K is in August and I am ready for it now!!!<br /> <br />- I am most likely going to race in a 10K on Thanksgiving morning (I am training for this now)<br /> <br />- This is my biggest goal of all... I want to race in the Rock N Roll Half Marathon next June!! (And here is a secret for all my favorite blogger friends... I secretly want to be able to race in the marathon next June, not the half! Eeeek! That gives me 1 year!!!)<br /><br />- I have started an amazing relationship with Trader Joes. Goodness, they have such delicious food -- and the best part -- I don't feel guilty eating it!!!<br /><br />I hope you guys are ready for me to be back! Because I am SOOO ready for you! :)<br /><br />I will leave you all will some fabulous etsy finds!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhys8lsG01ltDSUc5bGUcsmDv46dE5Sqq_11seglNYtBEB9FWDlSPJTA7ltYOeabtaZk4e5xJJZMxZN_0pcRNcL1nhXJCjw9khVgBqeh4y4kmh6URWgjZEhbx6OG4C2MYzOKriRv-QhhmAF/s1600/flowerHairClip.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhys8lsG01ltDSUc5bGUcsmDv46dE5Sqq_11seglNYtBEB9FWDlSPJTA7ltYOeabtaZk4e5xJJZMxZN_0pcRNcL1nhXJCjw9khVgBqeh4y4kmh6URWgjZEhbx6OG4C2MYzOKriRv-QhhmAF/s400/flowerHairClip.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478050088629679986" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">[http://www.etsy.com/listing/48557211/swan-lake-white-organza-flower-hair-clip?ref=cat1_gallery_15 *$20*]<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigefCQPe-2t1Xz-i9xmk_T-5t_7MBxMwD8EaD8-jBkaJz2ljZU0Y_1lQv_vEASRRIfSZntPUz9ri5doLeHAnwzXionlJc0OTBvQwmld3irMgEXD0ngEjAPnd-3vWy03owNzUPM9YZFDlQY/s1600/peacockClutch.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigefCQPe-2t1Xz-i9xmk_T-5t_7MBxMwD8EaD8-jBkaJz2ljZU0Y_1lQv_vEASRRIfSZntPUz9ri5doLeHAnwzXionlJc0OTBvQwmld3irMgEXD0ngEjAPnd-3vWy03owNzUPM9YZFDlQY/s400/peacockClutch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478051554345574114" border="0" /></a><br />[http://www.etsy.com/listing/47864433/peacock-feathers-embroidered-silk?ref=cat2_gallery_18]<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDg-OYVIqAzYSJdxrLEXOGDVeo7sZttJ6B1Va7_uwajBNlMRA6FIjDxyVcByTF6CM_zBNZ_fXmVSZZ6gFh7jB8ZcJg4NImoZIxTuXeOoEfy2I9AVIvrH994cCQwHYObHz-2Yi1FQLlipPG/s1600/bridalClutch.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDg-OYVIqAzYSJdxrLEXOGDVeo7sZttJ6B1Va7_uwajBNlMRA6FIjDxyVcByTF6CM_zBNZ_fXmVSZZ6gFh7jB8ZcJg4NImoZIxTuXeOoEfy2I9AVIvrH994cCQwHYObHz-2Yi1FQLlipPG/s400/bridalClutch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478052221666525522" border="0" /></a><br />[http://www.etsy.com/listing/48509289/a-bridal-purse-with-flowerchoose-your?ref=cat2_gallery_2]<br /></div><br /><br />Take care until next time,<br />hisMrshisMrshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362812608693316557noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502945729234395439.post-74868104590184885262010-03-28T09:01:00.000-07:002010-03-28T09:13:49.345-07:00And the winner is...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAXDYcptCxL5_ybhaF5rMzqz1rbKQJ-FAJQQdbbCIk7BJIshswTaxsJzQvUOjfhxZra46i2VN7EnBoG2bk5z8UhayA0x9nVCd1dNaY2ET5WVWncoZVd5tumGXyOt4QAt2D0ks9ZNNG_sid/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAXDYcptCxL5_ybhaF5rMzqz1rbKQJ-FAJQQdbbCIk7BJIshswTaxsJzQvUOjfhxZra46i2VN7EnBoG2bk5z8UhayA0x9nVCd1dNaY2ET5WVWncoZVd5tumGXyOt4QAt2D0ks9ZNNG_sid/s400/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453717884339689522" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Congratulations to Kenya F.!!! :) Be expecting an email from UPrinting in the near future!

Wow, how time flies. <br /><br />Well, since it is Christmas Eve, I thought I would share with you some gifts that I got my family.<br /><br />This will start out a little random.<br /><br />First of all, David's Bridal rocks. Yep, I said those cursed words. Not only did I get an amazing dress there, but they sent me all kinds of free stuff. Soooo, I used some on Christmas gifts!!!<br /><br />They sent me a coupon code for a FREE 8 1/2 x 11 digital photobook from Shutterfly!!! HELLLOOO!!! WOOHOO!!! <br /><br />That is exactly what I was planning on getting my parents and myMr's parents for Christmas. So, I assembled an absolutely beautiful wedding photobook on Shutterfly for them and only had to pay for one! AND it was free shipping! AND David's Bridal send me a coupon code for a 12 month photo calendar, so I made one with wedding pictures for us in the same shipment!<br /><br />Shutterfly == <3!!!<br /><br />Grandparents were easyyyy this year. I printed 5x7 pictures (Gotta love Costco for digital prints) of me, my Mr, and each of our grandparents and put them in kick butt frames that I got at Michael's for $2.00. No, that is not a typo. $2.00!! :)<br /><br />As you can tell it was a very wedding Christmas this year, but hey might as well take advantage of it while we can. They will love it.<br /><br /><br />I'll share just one page with you now...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8uaYqfUT_GIkZlOhY9bEcyebk1BE3ROk7nMrD9elscKo6aB4HcIVfzJO7i2zrH6PXL6q1lKT2wdg2sPLmEXCPkaxpjOmid0JtQtTkx2OZiOS0DD-8VcFaADm96Loo92_lGKeZqpkqlqcZ/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8uaYqfUT_GIkZlOhY9bEcyebk1BE3ROk7nMrD9elscKo6aB4HcIVfzJO7i2zrH6PXL6q1lKT2wdg2sPLmEXCPkaxpjOmid0JtQtTkx2OZiOS0DD-8VcFaADm96Loo92_lGKeZqpkqlqcZ/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417929059255323122" /></a><br /><br /><br />UPDATED: We already gave one grandparent the photo and she cried she was so happy!!!

I had some MAJOR wedding nerves the morning of.<br /><br />I did not feel nervous AT ALL. Like, not even a little bit. But, my stomach felt otherwise.<br /><br />The morning of the wedding, these were my best friends:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KFnBz1RG2jeSKvbV8yJcyaUJdsrZxhfM_oP8nN1HD__lrm2VJ38L3xtfZ4g4VO5l5S7pczooyyZuPX6bkWeE7gJvcCTOuuVyukhn4sXL0RILgdnfDIJW5IYhkCjF77jhqhbSXivxT5Al/s1600-h/tums"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KFnBz1RG2jeSKvbV8yJcyaUJdsrZxhfM_oP8nN1HD__lrm2VJ38L3xtfZ4g4VO5l5S7pczooyyZuPX6bkWeE7gJvcCTOuuVyukhn4sXL0RILgdnfDIJW5IYhkCjF77jhqhbSXivxT5Al/s400/tums" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417925601819289634" /></a><br /><br />When I was taking my shower in the morning, I seriously had to sit down to wash my hair out because I felt like I was going to pass out or vomit or both.<br /><br />When I got out of the shower, I sat on my bathroom floor in my towel about to vomit... and then I did... several times... ya, sorry guys. Hope you aren't reading this at lunch.<br /><br />It was the most bizarre thing ever. I felt so confident and excited, but my stomach did not agree.<br /><br />I ended up with a queasy stomach for several hours. The only thing that kept it under control was Tums. I ate way too many of them haha<br /><br />So, a little note to you ladies... be sure to carry Tums with you on your wedding day. You will be thankful you did!!!<br /><br />Take care until next time,<br />hisMrshisMrshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362812608693316557noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502945729234395439.post-57856863502448934792009-12-22T07:04:00.000-08:002009-12-22T07:04:00.188-08:00The Make-upOk... So back to wedding posts..<br /><br />The plan for my makeup was to get it done at MAC at 10 am. I had made appointments for me and two other bridesmaids... or so I thought...<br /><br /><br />I was running a little late from getting my hair done, so I rushed over to MAC. On my way there, my BM called me and asked if I was sure that I had made appointments. I said yeah and that I had double checked and made them at 10 am.<br /><br />...<br /><br />They weren't even open at 10.<br /><br />WHAT THE HECK, right!?<br /><br />I instantly went into freak out mode (kinda, I remained pretty calm) and had no idea what to do. We knocked on the door because we could see people in the store setting up. A lady came out and looked on their appointment list and said that they don't even open until 11 and that they are completely booked.<br /><br />AHHHHH<br /><br />Even more freaking started. I had no idea what to do. I needed to be completely done with my makeup in 90 minutes and the store wasn't even open and I had no appointment AND they were booked. <br /><br />CRAP.<br /><br />The woman went and got her manager. The manager came out and was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I am seriously so thankful for this woman. She told me not to worry that they would do everything in their power to take care of all of us. They said at the VERY least they would FOR SURE do my makeup. I was so relieved. <br /><br />We walked around the mall a bit and then came back a few minutes before the store opened. Just before they opened, the manager came out and called my name and told me to come in. WOOOHOOO! I was able to get my makeup done!!!!<br /><br />On top of that, EVERY single person that booked their appointment for 11 canceled. Since they canceled, ALL of my BMs were able to get their makeup done too.<br /><br />This experience made me LOVEEEEEE MAC even more.<br /><br />I have no idea where I made my 10 am appointments and that whole situation seriously baffles me still today. It was pure craziness, but I could not have been happier with how my makeup turned out! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNTgVt3dWtjWD5O60JqBYWg-5YMGN2_fEVP3t6D6UnTce2jxoVsnA1fLgGqq-yIJ19Bu_affgLWNK7TK-6b2nKRrTRFWOcK1jniZDcX46p3P18pKWWU_EEVMi4tsp-rLcGmaOuMx5Z4-D9/s1600-h/me+hair.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNTgVt3dWtjWD5O60JqBYWg-5YMGN2_fEVP3t6D6UnTce2jxoVsnA1fLgGqq-yIJ19Bu_affgLWNK7TK-6b2nKRrTRFWOcK1jniZDcX46p3P18pKWWU_EEVMi4tsp-rLcGmaOuMx5Z4-D9/s400/me+hair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417924683266616770" /></a><br /><br /><br />TA-DA!!!

I was determined to get reimbursed for our venue fee.<br /><br />I sent an email to the bitch that caused all these problems letting her know that I was wanting to know the status of the reimbursement and this is what she says:<br /><br />" I did check on getting you some type of a Refund, and corporate denied it unfortunately. I am so sorry, but what I did get my general manager to do is get a gift certificate for you for dinner :)"<br /><br />Oh helllll no... I am not going to accept a restaurant gift certificate. They needed to follow through with SOMETHING since they were so full of empty promises.<br /><br />So... I sent her the BEST email I have ever sent in my life. I don't feel it is appropriate to post it on here, but I basically let her know that a gift certificate was not going to be acceptable and that they needed to follow through with their promises for once.<br /><br />I ended up getting half of the venue fee back. I claim that as a victory in my book. It wasn't worth fighting for the other half. I got my point across and that is truly all I cared about anyways.<br /><br />Thankfully, that is the end of MOST of the drama. :)<br /><br />Take care until next time, <br />hisMrshisMrshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362812608693316557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502945729234395439.post-19812612016581708852009-12-09T07:55:00.000-08:002009-12-09T07:55:00.291-08:00Pre-Wedding Melt DownRemember the bitch that I got into a verbal argument with seen here: <a href="http://mrsbuckingham.blogspot.com/2009/10/bitches-and-effing-hoes.html">bitches-and-effing-hoes</a><br /><br />So here is what happened... <br /><br />My parents and I went up to my venue the day before the wedding. We spoke to the head catering director (since the bitch that was screwed everything up wasn't there). We told him exactly how they have screwed us over. I was a mess.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_MlTzYtOXyxEkkGpXkkFQCMZX_w8Jwa3jOjspFOkOdDcBhgjAcQol_s2v9T6G4PRNbnPoHRtoYqaCDW5dKbKLfokjCJ5pGyjQGPBKdrJm4VjjudqoS0QsqVFU3Mxl1chehxDg0DNpnWW/s1600-h/crying"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_MlTzYtOXyxEkkGpXkkFQCMZX_w8Jwa3jOjspFOkOdDcBhgjAcQol_s2v9T6G4PRNbnPoHRtoYqaCDW5dKbKLfokjCJ5pGyjQGPBKdrJm4VjjudqoS0QsqVFU3Mxl1chehxDg0DNpnWW/s400/crying" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412756802601941874" /></a><br /><br />See... that was me. Ya... no fun. Well, we left there with the catering director telling us that we would be reimbursed the entire venue fee and that we could come in two hours before and they would make sure the Susan G Komen people were gone. Yes, he was attempting to help, but I was sooo hung up on the principle of it all that this was not good enough. <br /><br />It was not about the money, it was the fact that they totally screwed up all of the plans that we had previously made for their own gain. <br /><br />I ended up getting a call from the head honcho over there and very politely I told her... and I quote...
