My first Wedding Issue.... GRR!!!


*Kerin28*

Recommended Posts

Ok... So, my wedding planning has been smooth sailing since day one so I knew I was bound to have a problem... My sister (MOH) called me on Friday evening asking me to check on their dresses and see when they will be in. We want to get fabric to make table runners and we really want them to match exactly. We dont have a swatch in the same fabric of their dresses so we wanted to wait until they are in to match them. So I call the dress store... "Hey, I just want to check and see if you guys have a guesstimate on when our dresses will be in.." the response I get.... "oh yea about that, we probably should have called you but we are in the middle of filing for bankruptcy and your not going to get your dresses. sorry. You'll have to order them somewhere else." I was like umm... okhuh.gif? "why didnt you guys tell me this?!" she sayd "sorry I just work here"... I didnt even know what to say to the girl... you should have called?? um, ya think?!?!? Fortunately, my wedding is not until June so we dont really have a problem but thats really frustrating.

Ok... so I guess I'll come down and get my money back.... she says- oh I cant give you your money back. Your going to have to talk to the owner but hes in the lawyers office filing the bankruptcy... But we are going to get our money back righthuh.gif she says I dont know. You have to talk to him. You can talk to him tomorrow when he comes back. (now I know once they file for bankruptcy they dont really have to give you your money back- we might be out like $600.... )

So my sister goes down Saturday morning because I was working.. and he says oh I'll give you your money back but I dont have checks with me. You can come see me Monday morning to get a check. So, I'm working again and she will be down there at 10am to meet him. Hopefully he gives her a check... and hopefully it doesnt bounce....

 

GRRR!!!

Sorry- that turned out kinda long.... Thanks for listening!

Wow, that's terrible news!! I'd be wary of getting a check from the owner, as you mentioned. If it were me, I'd ask for a money order (wherever possible). I'm not sure how the process works, but once they file for bankruptcy, you might be able to file a claim against the company. Hopefully you still have the receipt for the $600.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
