This HAS to be a first?
Flying to the US to get my packages!
ITS OFFICIAL! I cant believe I am going to NY to collect all my items for the wedding the amount they wanted to ship them was ludicrous at $2250 for 9 boxes.....so I am going next week to get them and bring them home. This has to be a first, living in Ireland and having to fly over to the other side of the world for my wedding stuff.......NY here I come baby, again, have to laugh, I was saying over and over for months that this would be the first time in 4 years that I wouldnt be going to NY before Christmas and I was delighted I had Mexico to look forward to. I cant help but thinking that there is some reason I am meant to be going (sounds weird I know) but as soon as I get there I feel "Im home" and I had not expected to go at all and whatever dates I played around with the only date that kept coming up was the 19th of October, I wonder what significance this all has. Well Im sure I wont be long finding out. Will keep you posted, my sister is coming with me.......wish me luck ladies. A few days window shopping LOL after all the packing is done and pray to god that customs have a day off when I am coming home. Watch out NY here I come! |

Nearly called the wedding off
Had enough
Well Ive hit an all time low. It was bound to happen I suppose havent had any meltdowns in such a long time! I think (post below) the drama yesterday with the delivery guys UPS wanting $2250 for my 9 boxes of wedding stuff to ship to Ireland was the final straw. I spent hours online last night researching freight and thanks to your helpful comments I also researched and got a few phonecalls back today regarding freight and they basically told me the same, $2000 and if they were me that they would go over and get the stuff myself too. That it would take 2 months to get here anyway. And basically it was a rip off. So my sister who offered to come with (after we booked flights) thought we were going to collect the dresses, hello? How do 5 dresses take up 9 boxes and weigh so much that they cost $250 a box to ship, I am about to bang my head off a brick wall.....so then her attitude changed slightly about going, hey she can justify going to get a dress that I paid for for her but not for anything else for *my* wedding. Then my FH decided he'd have a day from hell and snap over the littlest of things, today was the day he decided he would flip over the price of the wedding in total even though we sat and had this all out months ago. It was like today he only realised how much everything cost. He also thinks NY trip to get everything is a holiday for me? What I hate about this is because hes the main breadwinner here its like I have to ask him for the money or something which I cant stand! My mom decided I should rent space in the US and then go over in Dec and send the stuff to Mexico (apparently in her world, bless her, this would be cheaper) My friend that had the stuff was questioning whether I should pay for a trip over would it justify the cost? ARGH So spent the evening crying and seriously close to calling it all off, the stress and everyones negativity and stuff was just wearing me down. Told my mom I was selling everything just calling it off I have done it all since day one and no one has anything nice to say everyone has a comment for everything I do. This morning then to top the day off, I got results back that I had abnormal cells in my smear and need a repeat, went to the doc surgery and the doc there refused to talk to me about it wanting me to talk to my own doc about it as we have *history* what I dont like is the way that the secretary said it to me sympathetically....thats another story I guess. What a fucking day.......and after I told my sister to cancel the trip, FH decided we "had" to go as this was the only way to get the stuff! So now we are going next week. I have to re pack everything send some lighter stuff by mail and pack the rest in 4 big luggage bags and carry on luggage and hope for the best..............so so drained! |

I've a MAJOR problem
Can anyone help me out please?
I have a major problem ladies, I live in Ireland I bought most of the stuff for my wedding, well the majority of it in the States and sent it to my friend who lives in NJ. She helped me out hugely by accepting packages and parcels and delivery upon delivery over a few months. She then spent 2 hours the other night unpacking everything and repacking it all into boxes to bring it to a deilvery company to have it delivered to me. She had to pack everything into her brothers expedition which took up the whole vehicle. She contacted me today to tell me that they wanted $250 a BOX to send to me - my problem? There is 9 boxes so that is $2000 for delivery in 3 days...........I cant afford that! The post office want to charge up to $125 per box and cant guarantee when it will be delivered thats still over $900. It is cheaper for me to fly to the US and bring the stuff home but there is no way I would get away with packing all that stuff into my luggage allowance. So my sister offered to come with me. Next weekend. Flights seem to have gone up in price by 50eu each since yesterday so we need to make a decision asap. The dates I found were 17-19 Oct which is over a weekend and we could stay with a friend who would be off work and drive us here, there and everywhere. If we went on the alternative dates 19-22 Oct which is Sun-Wed she would be working and therefore we would be stranded in a house. My friend has asked that we go over the weekend, my sister now cant travel on those dates as there is a memorial service for our friend who commited suicide in March (which slipped my mind with all this shit going on) My FH is complaining now that its alot of money but what the f**k does he want me to do, I cant ship it to Mexico as they wont accept responsibility for it, I need to get the stuff to my house. I am so mad right now I cant see straight. I am so grateful to my friend who has done me such a huge favor with all this hassle of accepting stuff and re packing it and bringing it to a delivery place etc. so embarrassed and I seem to be the only one who sees the urgency in sorting something out, this girl is driving around with all my stuff and now has to bring it all home (I explained I would fly over as it would be cheaper) now everyone is stalling and cant make up their damn minds. I dont know what to do - if they think that I bust my f**king ass for the last year researching and buying stuff for the wedding so I can just not be bothered what happens next - what planet do these people live on and yes I am talking about my family and FH at the moment. So mad right now. Has anyone ANY idea of what I can do? *UPDATE* Have checked out some freight services and they are averaging over the $1000 so it is looking like the mountain wont come to Mohammed so Mohammed better get to the mountain, pronto! |

I do like this but I'm kind of trying to justify the costs really. I am wondering if anyone else is doing this and if they can recommend a place that does good deals online preferably as I live in Ireland - as my theme is butterflies and feathers I like the butterfly ones they are $11.99 each - I do like the letters but whose letters (initials do you use in the bouquet?) thanks ladies!
