Thanks for the encouragement. When I say my communication with the WC is inconsistent I don't mean just in the time spand I hear from her. I have been told one thing and then the next time I hear from her I am told something else. I have sent the Q&A form twice and she tells me she has it and can start the contract and then several weeks, emails and phone calls later she doesn't have it and tells me to send it again. I totally understand about the whole waiting to plan the details thing but when it comes to the contract and the inconsistency there it makes me nervous. And I have read a bunch of forums of ladies who had their wedding there and they loved it, but I think I am just frustrated at the whole wedding situation and want to just start over. Plus the main reason we chose DC was to best accomidate our guest and the wedding we originally plan to have, now that it is just us I don't know if I want to go there any more.
