Negotiating

[bumbles]

After talking to her on the phone, send her an email confirming the details you discussed so you'll have a paper trail. I'm sure it'll work out just fine!

Thanks for following up, Kate. I'm irritated that it's taken this long to update.....but it took 2 weeks of voice messages and a half dozen emails before I finally heard word from my WC. And.......it's hopeful. I got a phone call from her Thursday and we hashed out the budget, flowers, reception entertainment and the removal of, and who is gonna decorate the reception.

 

Happily, the air rates have recently dropped....and people who told me they couldn't attend can now attend. I've been sitting at 17 guests for over a month....now I'm back up to 28 booked.

 

Well, I'm keeping my ceremony musician and conch shell blower. All the bridesmaids are getting 2 orchid bouquets to hold at the wedding....but those same flowers are doing double-duty as centerpieces at the reception. I'm losing my live band and DJ and opting for a sound system setup for $150. I've been creating Ipod playlists since my phone conversation. I'm feeling better that more monetary details have been ironed out. Actually, I'm finally feeling giddy about getting married....and in Hawaii no less.!!!!!!

So happy to hear things are coming together! Funny how one productive phonecall can do that, huh?

Everything will turn out beautiful! It is Hawaii after all!

 

I had a phone call with my WC to talk about budget and ways to save now that I am down a bunch of guests and stuck with their rooms! You are not alone:-)

 

Best Wishes!
