Another one bites the dust

I knew that with Wedding Planning, not everything would go according to plan but I thought that I would be able to at least count on my family to pull through
................MAN WAS I WRONG

There has been stress after stress from family (I still love them though)
First its a problem with colors, then clothes, then who is all coming, then addresses, then attitudes and disappointments, now my pictures.
My uncle is a professional photographer and has been for a very long time
as a special gift he offered to do our engagement and bridal pictures for the wedding.
We scheduled the day, I got the date off of work, we found our clothes for the pictures and it was all ready to go.
Well my uncle had a job come up so we had to move the day, I was ok with it since its on a Sunday and thats the only day Bret and I know we will have off since we both dont work
Then on Tuesday I get a call from my mom saying we need to re-schedule again, after the week I had and the changing of everything so much I was so upset
Now my uncle was wanting us to go down on Fathers day, cancel our plans and take the pictures then.
Bret and I already made plans to have a BBQ with his family since we dont spend that much time with them and it really upset me that they just wanted me to drop everything for his schedule when he didnt really seem to care about our schedule
I know my uncle had good intentions and wanted to do something nice but even though he is family I wanted it to be more professional and taken care of better and not just called off at the last minute.
So i talked to the guy who is doing our wedding pictures, asked if he could take them on such short notice and now it is all ok. We are taking our pictures on Saturday at 6:00 pm and I am so excited. I think he will do a great job and I can not wait. I think this turned out for the best! And just like all the Bridal Magazines say, dont hire family to do work that someone else can do at your wedding it makes it to hurtful and complicated when things dont work out! I am not trying to say that my uncle isnt good at what he does or he isnt a good guy but it is better this way and i know everything will turn out great

Soon to be
Mrs. Maycock
60 days to go :)
