So lately I have been trying to get a head start on this wedding planning thing but whenever I contact a vendor the question arises of "when is the big day?" Of course that is a logical question to ask so I tell them my intended May 2010 date but the response I usually get is a stare...a long pause and a response somwhere along the lines of "oh...wow you are looking very early aren't you? Maybe you should wait a few months before deciding on *insert of what vendor does*"
I am not saying ALL vendors give me that reponse but whether it be looking at dresses, looking at lighting vendors, djs, photographers or flowers I usually get "advice" about when I SHOULD be looking into these vendors. Whats wrong with a little research? Whats wrong with getting a head start? Does this mean that a vendor would rather have a rampaging bride come in 3 months before their wedding asking for samples and price quotes? I suppose that may be what they are looking for because that gives them liscense to charge more due to short notice but I don't see the harm in helping a bride that actually wants to take her time to plan her wedding. Oh well I guess thats just how the crazy wedding industry works...
On a side note we now have our completed wedding party!! Yay!! That is one checkbox I can check :)
