On Fri evening we arranged to take both sets of parents to see our wedding band. My Dad is a bitof a saddo groupie anyway so has seen them loads before but we wanted OH's parents to see them.
When we called them 3 months ago, he confired the date was available and gave us the price. He said only sticking point was the lead singer always takes his holiday over bank hol weekend in August but as they had a booking would prob take it at a different time next year. Asked us to go and see them at this pub they were playing at on Friday and then speak to him at the end of the night to pay deposit and fill out booking form etc. If the lead singer decided he wouldnt change his holidays he said he would DEF call us before that date and if we didnt hear anything then we were all set to go.
He emailed over play list etc.
Went to see them on friday and I decided to go and have a chat before they started playing - I was met with a blank expression.... then a red face! His cousin is getting married on that day and he had forgotten about ours!!
We watched them play anyway and were upset that they were as good as we remember!!
Now............ do we try to find another band for £800 that does a variety of music like them (everyone else we have contacted seem to be £1k plus) or treat it as a 'obviously not mean to be' and stick with the DJ that is included in our package and save the cash??? HRML!!!!!!!
