Is this a bad omen?

Hi. I am getting married in four weeks exactly! Yay!





However, within the last month:





-- Our pastor told us he would no longer be able to officiate





-- Our ceremony violin player had to back out because of a final exam





-- The replacement violin player dislocated her shoulder and can no longer play





-- The retired florist/ family friend who was going to do our flowers double-booked herself with another event and had to back out of our wedding





-- My dress arrived at the bridal shop, but was made from the wrong fabric





-- The first wedding present we opened together had been damaged in shipping and arrived broken





-- My car (the one we were planning to use as our getaway car after the wedding) stopped working





-- My old college back-up car was stolen (leaving me with no working vehicles)





Has anyone else had any similar experiences while planning their wedding? Please, somebody, tell me that you did, and that your wedding (and marriage) still turned out okay.

Is this a bad omen?
When it rains, it pours.. but it also says that there's rainbow after the rain.. don't be affected with all those things darling, what is really important is you and your hubby loving together and holding on even things can go wrong at times. There are still a lot of things that will come across your marriage life but with a love so strong it will mean nothing at all. Stay strong and in love'


Congratulations!

Reply:I keep thinking of something that was said in the SATC episode where Charlotte married Harry. The worse the wedding, the happier the marriage.





On my wedding day, the hair stylist who was supposed to do my bridesmaids hair was a no show. And a well-loved person in my church died early that morning. Nevertheless, we still had a great wedding and 8 1/2 years later we still have a great marriage.
Reply:The best known baker in town double booked and could no longer do our cake, but it's been a blessing because I found a french baker that actually knows what a belgian chocolate cigarrillo is!!!!!! So I'm thrilled with the turn of events.





Just remember something, nothing can possibly be perfect and you cannot control anything regarless of how much careful planning you have done. Relax and do your best, you will have more fun that way.





Good luck

I thought I had everything planned (cake, location, food, music) when we found out we couldnt get everyone from the cathedral to the reception location, it was for the better the wedding coordinator was very demanding and was going to change and coordinate my wedding according to what she wanted anyways.
Reply:As long as you and your future husband are truly in love and will care for and respect each other, nothing else really matters. In fifty years no one is going to care if you had to change florist or pastor....but your future children and grandchildren will care if you are still in love and going strong. Always look for what is important in life. Good luck to you!
Reply:If you want to look at it that way and let it ruin your day, I guess it is a bad omen.





However, look at all that goes into a wedding. There is so much that can go wrong that it's impossible for things not to go wrong. Just chill and deal. Enjoy the day and be happy!
Reply:Haha maybe you should tone it down a bit and have a low key ceremony.


Or maybe God's trying to remind you that you dont need all this stuff to show how much you love each other and the the only important thing is that you and him are there on your special day.
Reply:Wedding cake had salt instead of sugar, father in law made an a** of his self, lost part of jewerly, had TIna turner hair thanks to a beautician. But it worked out.
Reply:Not a bad omen at all; you're just proving you two can work through whatever life throws at you. The wedding will be all the more satesfiying knowing you two were able to manage all these obstacles.
Reply:Not a bad omen, just life.





HINT: Everything is life is an opportunity.
Reply:Take a deep breath and start from scratch... find a new pastor,florist, dress, and rent a car or a limo ! It will be alright !!!
Reply:You might be noticing all the bad things around you right now, but just take a step back and chill. Those things happen everyday...when we need them most. You and your soon to be hubby will do great.
Reply:stuff happens, just laugh about it and move on.





The only bad omen you should be looking for is if the groom doesn't show up at the altar.
Reply:Stuff happens. Don't let it throw you. Your wedding and marriage will be fine.
Reply:cancel all your plans hit priceline.com and book a triptd go to a tropical get away alone to do the wedding!
Reply:Don't worry about it i'm getting married in two months and i have had me fair share of disappointments.


-Pastor deciede to go on hoildays (were in the same boat here)


- my mother in law to be fired my DJ and hired a 50's one (because that is the music she prefers)


- i have had a bridesmaid just up and tell me that she didn't want to be apart of the wedding.


- and the best man moved to austraila without telling us and sent an email later saying that he wouldn't be able to make it.





Don't sweat the small stuff i'm sure its just god's way or fate (which ever you believe in ) of settting you on the right track for your dream wedding.


If my bridesmaid hadn't backed out then i would have never asked my other friend and half the planning would never have been done.


It will work out promise :)


BEST WISHES:)
Reply:No, it's not an omen. Yes, it is proof that the best-laid plans of mice and wedding planners "gang aft aglee."





You're worrying and planning too much. All this fuss is just grist for the wedding industry's mill, a giant waste of money, a setup for disappointment, a guarantee of severe stress, and it does nothing to ensure the long-term happiness and strength of the marriage.





If you have to get married -- never a certainty -- invite family and friends, do it at home and have a pleasant champagne brunch. We did that 15 years ago for $500 and couldn't be happier. And the 20K we saved was put into a house whose value has tripled. And not one of our guests was disappointed either. Or our parents. We saved everybody except the professional wedding vultures a ton of grief.
Reply:it depends are you looking for bad omens? if you have doubts then you may translate this as such. If you are not, then it is just regular normal hectic wedding stuff. The pastor had to right to do this so early unless he has a good reason and they usually recommend a replacement-did he? If not then ask him to. Th violonist you just happened to choose young very inovlved inviduals- i always look for older musicians that has more professionalism and dedication to the music not jsut as extra form of money. The bridal shop, however, i would throw the biggest tantrum and tell them they better get it to you in 2 weeks and a majot discount on your dress-mine was 2 weeks before the wedding not only the wrong size but the wrong style all together! About the car well i would rent one! Iw ould not use any old one that stops or unable to have security to make theives from stealing it!


comapred to mine: We RSVP for 435 people we had 763! Arabic wedding are big and it is a normal one. I decided to go by the hall before my hair and found out they are decorating the wrong colors and flowers arrangments they have confused my wedding with my friends which was two weeks away and our nmaes are the same! My head peice never SHOWED UP! I had another one made a week before.
Reply:In my culture (I am from Aruba) the superstition is that the more things go wrong at the wedding, the better the marriage will be. So here you'd be jumping for joy.





Of course we all want our weddings to be perfect and I can imagine the stress you are in. However, I will never forget a video I saw on AFHV, where there was a sudden storm during an outdoor wedding. People were running for cover, the tent was about to collapse from all the water, waiters were trying to push the water off with broomsticks, there was mud everywhere and thunder and lightning.


And among all that confusion, the bride and groom were dancing, looking into each other's eyes and smiling. They looked so happy and in love, it was amazing. THAT is what a wedding is all about.





Good luck to you. I hope you feel as blissful on your wedding day as that couple did on theirs. Even if things don't turn out as planned.
