I received no response from her. So I resigned myself to the fact that we had this cottage, and whatever, regardless the $$ is paid, at least I can guarantee our privacy, haha! Well.... She emailed me YESTERDAY (actually 9pm my time) and said she had cancelled our res. for the cottage and RENTED TO SOMEONE ELSE. So, not only do we not have our own place for our wedding night, We have to share the Property with strangers on our Wedding DAY!!!!! I paid freaking a good amount of $$ to have privacy, and she rented part of the property to someone else!?
I have seen this property. I know how close the cottage is to where our reception is going to be, and how close it is to the house where we are staying. And I know if the situation was reversed, I would feel like an intruder on someone's wedding. The owner keeps trying to reassure me that it is far enough away that it will still be private, but I don't think that's true. It's far enough from the house, yes, but not from where we are setting up the tent for the reception. To be reasonable, I do not think the people renting the cottage will ruin our wedding, but I never imagined she would rent it out on our wedding day. I never would've asked about canceling it in the first place! Also when I didn't hear from her, I offered to let someone else join us because we were under the impression that we had extra space.
There's really nothing more I can do at this point, she's giving us our money back for it (there's no way she can't), but I'm a little stunned she would do this without first telling me she accepted my cancellation (although I shouldn't have been able to cancel in the first place). I am So Mad at Myself!!!!
