...to finalise the table plan we've hit a hiccup. Well, not us but another couple who are invited to our wedding - they've split up!
My OH has known them for years, they have been together over 12 years. Of course we've been sympathetic and offered them support etc, but it leaves us with a bit of a problem - the guy was supposed to be doing a reading at our ceremony. So we are left with not knowing yet whether either of them are still coming, the guy has stepped down from doing the reading so we need someone else. I spent half an hour on the phone to him last night reassuring him that we don't feel let down and although we'll be disappointed if he doesn't come we'll understand. I have emailed the lady and said much the same thing. I have also emailed another friend and explained, so hopefully she'll step in and do the reading for us.
I completely understand that other people don't put their life on hold just because someone else is getting married. But I thought at 2 weeks to go I'd be safe putting the table plan together! If one of them comes it not really an issue, if they both cancel we have a friends who would take a spare seat, but if they both come I will have to seat them on separate tables - which may mean a bit of a rethink. At least I'm doing my own board and can move things without huge cost!
So, ladies and gents, a quick question: if a friend emailed you with 11 days till thier wedding and asked you to do a reading because someone else had dropped out how would you feel and would you do it?
