Things that I'm slowly learning...

Not all businesses have your interests in the front of their mind. Oh, they SAY they do...

The bottom line is that this is the most important day of my life and if someone's going to be a part of it, even if that part is a business transaction, they need to be just slightly above incompetent at what they do, and they need to get it. The jeweller that I picked. He got it. The caterer that we picked. She got it. This may come a a shock, but large, multinational, corporate hotels reallly couldn't give a flying squirrel about your wedding day.

Capitalism marches on.
