Well, I suppose this one ranks right up there in the list of nightmares one has about planning a wedding...
We got a call yesterday from the catering manager at the golf course where we booked our reception with the bad news that somehow, and for some reason unnoticed until yesterday, they had doubled booked their site for July 7th. Apparently, the site's beverage manager booked the other wedding way back in May and forgot to document it properly, so when we inquired about our reception, the other booking didn't come up. Now, the beverage manager sat in on our booking meeting, so we're not perfectly sure why she chose not to mention the fact that another wedding was booked for the 7th already, but we'll assume she had just forgotten.
So, because the other couple booked before we did, that leaves us somewhat in the lurch six months before the wedding, without a venue for the reception. We will be talking more with the catering manager today to try and figure out a solution. In her own words, she "feels sick" about the issue, so we're trying to be optimistic that she will be able to help us solve it.
Stay tuned...

Update: After a phone call from the manager of the golf course (with the ammunition that John is a member, has has dumped a fair amount of his personal savings in the course over the last few years), they are looking into finding another venue for the OTHER couple, giving us our reception hall back. We'll know more by Friday.
