i haven’t blogged much about the wedding, lots of details are starting to fade. i know its sudden, but i’d like to start chronicling specific incidents. preparations were fairly drama-free with one exception: i purchased a couple of boutonnieres on etsy from a vendor called ‘Frittsrose Now’. the boys whinged about how heavy their bouts were. i like what we already had, but i’ll admit the ones pictured below are kinda cool. so i went ahead and placed an order.

my heart broke because the boutonnieres i ordered never arrived. i sent the vendor numerous messages enquiring the status of my purchase. not a single reply. couldn’t get a refund from paypal either. those needed to be done within 45 days of purchase. so i submitted a non-delivery report and felt awful etsy eventually shut her store down. i’ve had to remind myself, this is fraud!

i have yet to submit a report to FBI’s Internet Crime Complaints Centre and contact my credit card company to arrange for some kind of refund. it’s really not about the money, but rather a matter of principle. i’m so relieved i hadn’t completely depended on this vendor for my bouts. otherwise, i’d be stressing over something so stupid and insignificant! hard to imagine them type ‘a’ brides to have to deal with such vendors. i do empathize because small details can ruin a “big day”.
