Well, it's all over. The happy couple will be on their way to Cabo by the time this appears, and all in all, things went very smoothly. I didn't mention in last weeks post, that a major glitch almost destroyed the grand event. You see, the hotel where the wedding and reception were scheduled to occur, double booked the rooftop space for the same time on the same day.
Though the kids had signed the contract for the room in advance of the other party, the date of the actual event on the contract was wrong by 3 days. Wednesday! Who gets married on Wednesday? Subsequently, the later contract signed by the other party had the correct date, and legally, would be the one recognized if things escalated to a legal dispute. (The FTI Legal Dept. pored over this document for hours attempting to find any type of contractual error allowing our side to enforce the original date, but had little success. Attempting to argue before a judge that the contract was written by the hotel staff on lined paper, had numerous meaningless doodles, and that a jello wrestling pit would not be provided as requested by an anonymous phone call, were not felt to be actionable offenses that damages could be won over.) Ultimately, it was decided that a plan B was needed to be devised and instituted quickly as the photographer, flowers, invitations, deejay, etc had all been ordered and scheduled. Fortunately, Friday night was available and decided to be used as the day of choice. The hotel admitted this incident was all their fault and made numerous concessions on fees and accommodations to make it right for all involved. In the end, the bride was beautiful, the dinner tasty, the reception rollicking, and the evening perfect. And yes, Goldilocks decided to give up her maiden name and to take her new husband's name.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present Mr. and Mrs. Kfred Jr.1.
Ahhhh....the photos are awesome! So glad all turned out well and the couple is on their way to wedded bliss. Mazol Tav, Mr. & Mrs Kfred!
