Would you take it as a sign if a hurricane hit your wedding location twice

[prolesunited]

:-(


First, it was Emily. The resort rebuilt and just opened this month. Now, it looks like Wilma is headed there and we'll know the extent of the damage tomorrow.

I'm so depressed just thinking about it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. Yes. Of course, we got married overlooking Lake Erie.

That would DEFINITELY have been a bad omen.

[prolesunited]

4. I hope it hasn't gone downhill since

Are you two enjoying wedded bliss now?

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. I think she's cheating on me.

The gas company has been out THREE times since we've been married. I don't see how that can be coincidental.

My wife is fucking the gas man! :cry:

[prolesunited]

8. I'm so sorry

Maybe you can take up with the meter maid. I hear she's lovely.

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. I can't believe you didn't make a fart joke.

I left it wide open.

[prolesunited]

11. Sorry

I just reread it and you are very clever and amusing.

I'm just a little self-involved with my issue right now.

BTW, is everything straightened out now. Have they backed down on charging you for all the gas that spewed out? If your house blew up because of their incompetence, would they hold you accountable for that bill as well?

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. We'll know when the bill comes.

:grr:

[prolesunited]

19. Definitely fight it

Just pay what you normally would and contest the rest. Does Ohio have a utilities board? Maybe the newspaper or TV station would be interested? It's a good story. Their incompetence could have killed your family, and then they want you to bill you for it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. I don't know about a utilities board.

TV might be a good idea.

[prolesunited]

23. Get those cute children lined up

and saying, with tears in their eyes, "We could have died!" Maybe they will give you free heat for the whole winter.

(Not to make light and I'm glad everyone's OK)

[Debbi801]

2. Nah...

We got married outside during one with gusty winds, torrential rain and tornado warnings/watches all around us. It made for an adventure, but a fun one. And, it is something we still talk about. :-)

[prolesunited]

6. I bet it is something you still talk about

No matter what, we'll figure out a way to get married next month. And, it will be perfect because it's the end result that matters.

But, we had such simple plans: Just the two of us in a gazebo overlooking the ocean. I just don't want it to get complicated at the last-minute.

[Shell Beau]

3. It is kind of eerie. But I am not superstitious, so no.

But I would not schedule in hurricane season again. :P

[prolesunited]

14. Well, we're not scheduled in hurricane season

that's just when the hurricanes are destroying the resort.

Actully, I almost booked during this time until somebody called my attention to hurricane season. Now that would have been a disaster.

[matcom]

7. they are sure gonna get nailed again

x(

[prolesunited]

10. Yep

I looked at the trajectories. It doesn't look so good, does it?

She prevviously mentioned moving us to another location, but it just won't be the same. And, it looks like *all* of their better resorts are going to be swept away. I'm not sure where we are going to end up. :-(

[matcom]

13. when do you leave again?

[prolesunited]

15. Nov. 13

And our wedding is set for Nov. 17. We'll see and I know Jennifer will take care of us. She's been great.

[matcom]

17. she most certainly will

dont worry

[Left Is Write]

12. Only if it interfered with my wedding twice.

[prolesunited]

18. No

I'm just joking. I don't believe in "signs." I just needed to vent my apprehension and frustration.

[Thtwudbeme]

21. It's a sign that God wants ya'll to get married in a Catholic Church

;)

OK...that's crap!

You'll be fine; the weather will be gorgeous, and think of the shells kicked up on the beach!

[pitohui]

22. i would take it somewhat as a sign of poor planning

i am not really enthused abt the promotion of cheap bachelor parties & honeymoons during hurricane season, i've always been conflicted abt the relatively recent promotion of new orleans area for that purpose during august, it just doesn't seem quite right

if you are shopping price, and young couples starting out do have to make tough financial choices, i can see why such resorts as cancun in hurricane season seem attractive, the prices really drop -- but you need to be aware that these prices are low for the very reason that you are being given a discount for the chance of serious disruption

the atlantic hurricane season is june 1 thru november 30, but if you avoid planning special trips to hurricane-prone regions aug-oct you will minimize yr chance of disruption

it says nothing abt yr future as a married couple except that you are starting out w. maybe not a lot of money, as most young couples do, & you selected some bargains that turned out badly due to bad luck

don't get spooked

maybe try vegas, october should be pretty safe & lots of resorts there, yeah i know they got some rain the other day, all 1.36 inches of it!

reading the entire thread, i see yr honeymoon is in november, however, things will likely not be back to normal by then, & tho yr travel agent didn't mention it, it is STILL hurricane season, i would still try to get my reservations changed elsewhere

[prolesunited]

25. Umm, thanks for all your support

But, if you look upthread, our date is Nov. 17, so we did not plan it during the height of hurricane season as a result of poor planning.

The problem is Emily leveled the resort in JULY and they just re-opened this month. This hurricane is in OCTOBER.

The problem is, if there is extensive damage again, I doubt the facility will be operational in another month, when we plan to be there.

BTW, we are not a young couple; we do just fine for money; and this is quite an expensive resort no matter what the season.

I'm not spooked, just frustrated. As far as somewhere else, we have non-refundable, non-transferable airline tickets to Cancun and already have paid for the resort as they require payment in advance because of the demand. We could end up losing money, and that sucks for anyone.

27. R Y rlly t lzy t typ t yr vwls?

:wtf:

[arwalden]

24. Just Bad Timing And Coincidence. There's No Such Thing As "Signs".

I mean... come ON... who would be sending this "sign"? And if there was some force that was powerful enough to send signs, I can think of much more direct ways to send you a signal, that aren't so destructive to other people's property and lives.

Besides... do you think that the resort has ONLY been used for your wedding location? Perhaps the sign is meant for some OTHER couple that was married or honeymooned there. Surely that's it! :hi:

[prolesunited]

26. I don't *really * believe in signs

I was just trying to think of a provacative thread title in which to vent.

And even if I did believe in signs, I don't think either of us is so special as to drum up a major hurricane against our union. ;-)

[arwalden]

28. I Got-chur Venting Ry-Cheer Baby....

Come on! Go ahead... let me have it! Give me your best shot. Let it all out!

If I can survive an online STALKER and other online IDIOTS and real-life ASSHOLES then I can handle--maybe--any venting that you want to do.

Let 'er rip!

:hide:

[prolesunited]

29. It's premature

I really don't know what's going on for sure. Just one more thing for me to obsess about.

BUT, I'll gladly take you up on that offer should it become necessary.

BTW, don't let the assholes get you down. We got your back. :D

[arwalden]

30. Heh-heh-heh-heh...

... you said "premature". Huh-huh-huh!

[prolesunited]

31. It's not just for ejaculation anymore.

:yoiks:

[izzybeans]

32. Only as a sign that it might be better to elope. Come back in the dead of

winter and throw big party. The storms will be gone.

[arwalden]

33. I Wonder If This New Hurricane Is The Sign Of A Weather War?

[XNASA]

34. "Wedding location?"

Is that what he calls it? I thought I'd heard it all.
