| - The interior of the church and layout is beautiful. It's quiet and peaceful just like the way a church should be. Without a doubt, the church gets a solid 5 stars.
However, the woman running the wedding rehearsals/day of wedding festivities totally killed the vibe with her less than stellar social skills & photobombed pics. Rather than making things easy and stress free during both the rehearsal and the wedding day, she had a way of going about things in a way that left a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
I think the icing on this effervescent wedding planner nightmare were two things.
1) She lost the marriage license that my sister and now brother in law had provided for her earlier in the week. Thus, leaving it to last minute jumbles to mention to my sister and now brother in law that if they did not produce another marriage license that their wedding(mind you, the following day) would be postponed. Do they not realize how much time, money, and effort was placed into making this wedding happen?
How rude. There my sister and brother in law were keeping to their side of the agreement, and it was the administration in the church that lost the certificate forcing them to go down to city hall right after their rehearsal dinner to get another copy of their marriage certificate. Then they have the gall to threaten to cancel the ceremony because of something they(the administration) did? Ridiculous.
2) About 5 minutes before the ceremony, the wedding coordinator advised my sister(the bride) that she would not let any of the bridesmaids walk the aisle without a bouquet of flowers in hand. Rather than consulting the florist, the coordinator made a makeshift bouquet out of the flowers from the statue in front of Mary right by the altar and handed me a messy bundle of flowers.
I was completely speechless, as was my sister. As they say, the show must go on and so it did but this was without a doubt a very unpleasant way to start off a wonderful occasion.
Thankfully the ceremony went on without a hitch, but this experience opened my eyes .
