hey girls, wanna hear something shitty?
My home still doesn't have power and wont until Saturday as if that isn't bad enough, my WEDDING is on Friday night and the venue will not have power until Saturday. If I even meet a woman named Irene I will slap that biitch.

Re: hey girls, wanna hear something shitty?
As of now, we are going to wait and hope that the power gets turned on a day early. I have made a call to the power company, however they don't think this is as important as restoring power to hospitals, nursing homes, schools and banks so it doesn't look so good. The wedding is in a large green house, so even if there is no power, we will use the light of the moon, candles and battery powered paper lanterns. The only problem is that the caterers wont really be able to cook. It just sucks all around, the salon that was going to do my hair and make up are affected by the power outages, my dress isnt complete and the tailor has no power either. I know it could be way worse but it is just so much more added stress.
I'm sorry hon, that's pretty shitastic. I got a flash of you on that Bridezillas show, talking to the power company. lol. I hope it all works out for you !
nope.
Can't your caterer rent a generator? I mean, do they expect you to pay them if they don't provide you any food? Seems to me that it would be equally beneficial for both of you if they went out and got themselves a generator. My daycare just did this...they couldn't purchase one because they were all sold out, but they were able to rent one. They would just need to hook up the refrigerator and stove/ovens to it, and maybe a light or two..
As for your makeup/hair.. can you make an emergency appointment with a salon a couple of towns away from you? There has got to be a place that has power somewhere that is willing to squeeze you in, given the circumstances.
Otherwise, I think your reception will be absolutely beautiful in the moonlight with candles and paper lanterns.
Keep your chin up... this sucks, but I have faith it will work out. Good Luck!!
Of course I know things could be far worse. I appreciate the fact that my loved ones are safe. Me and H have been married for a couple of years, we eloped 10 days after getting engaged so this is just our celebration, I am not devastated, it just sucks. I called the electric company to see if there was anyway the area could be moved up on the list, I wasn't bitching at them or anything. I actually had to rush LO to the doctor yesterday because he had a piece of hair tightly wrapped around his toe and it was cutting off circulation. I am damn glad they were open and had electricity.
I think you have a great attitude about it. There are plenty of brides to be who would be freaking out and letting it ruin their wedding.
I would just try to relax and enjoy. As long as everyone you want to be there, can be there, you're going to have a great celebration. And teenagefbi is right. Candles and pb&j sounds pretty badass.
Ya, I figure that as long as the band is playing and the booze is flowing, it will be a great time.
I'm sure the caterer was paid in advance. Legally, I don't think you can blame the for a hurricane, and in a lot of places, they aren't responsible for an "act of God" or natural disaster.
They do, but it is only for heat. It is a green house, so lights aren't necessary, but heat is (in the winter of course)
The ceremony sounds really awesome, but I'd be ticked about the food. It's crappy of the caterer to not try to make good on the deal. Emjay's right, but it's still not good business practice.
ETA: I'm sure you'll figure this out, and I bet in 5 or 10 or 50 years, this will be an awesome story!

This! And it will be a great story to tell the grandkids some day!
Our caterer is stepping up and preparing food off site and carting it to the venue. it will be a PITA for them, but at least they are doing everything they can

Yay!
I agree! My wedding was cancelled by the venue the day before our wedding because of snow, and we ended up getting married in a friend's living room with apps from Trader Joe's and Two Buck Chuck. It was awesome. I hope yours turns out really well. Good luck!
