Change of plan

Well we've completely changed our wedding reception plans, much to the disappointment of the wedding coordinator at the hotel.
I had been asking since September to taste our wedding menu to ensure we were happy, finally managed to pin her down and went to taste it on Tuesday. She had warned me before that there would be the majority of the menu available but not all of it, which I said was fine as long as we were happy with most of it. So we go along armed with the menu which we would be having. There was a lot on the menu which wasn't available for us to taste so for reasons only known to them they substituted it for other items available which we would not be having for our reception. This involved potato salad etc, I said to the waitress does this have dairy in? (they already knew apart from the quiche the menu was to be dairy free) she admitted there was a lot which had dairy in so went and did a new plate for me. COLD MEAT AND SALAD!!!! Not being funny but I know what these things taste like, I wanted to taste the items that I didn't know what they tasted like grr. Carley (the wedding coordinator) came over and was making so many feeble excuses  and guilt trips, I got quite upset but so that she didn't see this I excused myself to the ladies and cried. By the time I had composed myself and gone back Tony and Carley had reached a compromise (although it seemed as though we were doing all the compromising) .
Carley left us to it and me and Tony had a serious talk and both admitted we were starting to dread the reception. We were going to cancel.
I went and sat in the car whilst Tony went to tell Carley she was no longer required she wanted to discuss it but Tony made it very clear it was not open for discussion and left. We hadn't even got home when she tried to phione both our mobiles to discuss the situation. Not going to happen. We may have lost £450 but we have gained the excitement of our wedding day back!!

We have now booked Coal's Bar and Grill for our reception which is going to be a nice meal with just they ceremony people which has also put Tony's mind at rest as he was finding it difficult to find the line where inviting work mates was concerned, unfortunately with a place like that it's very much if I invite that person then I'll have to invite them, it tends to snowball and you end up having people around that you don't really want.

I feel ready to have Crumpet any day now. For the last couple of days I've been getting a lot of pressure and nerve pain, it even got to the point yesterday when we were in town that we had to leave because every10 seconds I was yelping in pain. I've also had a bad couple of nights sleep, last night I woke up feeling really sick (but wasn't). I've started drinking raspberry leaf tea to help with my muscles it's actually quite nice. Come on Crumpet, Mummy and Daddy are getting impatient now.
