Wedding: Pregame ... YIKES!!!!

Here are some things you DON'T want to have happen leading up to your wedding:

• A freezer going out. - This is not a huge deal, but my parents were counting on the freezer space for some food for the weekend. This happened a few weeks before the wedding, so my mom "got" to spend time cleaning out the freezer instead of working on wedding stuff.
  
• The power going out. Twice. The Wednesday before the wedding. Needing a new transformer. Getting pretty hot while waiting for the new transformer and deciding to go to a hotel for the night. Laura not being able to work on the slideshow for the reception because the power is out. (And by Wednesday night, Laura's time-line for her to do list was pretty tight already!)
  
• Background: A family friend offered to do the flowers for Laura's wedding. That is wonderful. So Laura had to decide on the flowers she wanted, and my mom had to order them online. That seems simple enough. The FIRST YIKES part: The flower company calling Wednesday, (when the flowers were to be delivered Thursday), and informing my mom that 2 of the kinds of roses she ordered were unavailable. So my mom "got" to pick substitution roses.The SECOND YIKES part: The flower company saying, oh sorry, we can't send you rose petals. But we can send you roses. It will just take you 30 minutes to tear the petals off all the roses. (That was not true! It took 3 people working together for 45 minutes to accomplish that task!!!) The THIRD YIKES part: The flower company calling after the flowers had arrived Thursday morning to inform my mom that one type of flower had not been picked up. The flower company blamed it on FedEx. FedEx said there's no way to know who was at fault because they can't track anything they don't have in their possession yet. So maybe the flowers weren't where they were supposed to be in order to be picked up. The flower company saying "We'll offer you to have these flowers delivered on Friday instead." What? Offer? These flowers were paid for!!!
  

The flowers were obviously the most stressful part of the YIKES wedding pregame, but they turned out absolutely beautiful!!! And once the flower issue was resolved, I kept thinking, "Maybe that's it for bad things happening before the wedding." But I didn't want to say it out loud and jinx anything!
