I've decided to stay in the wedding, but I told her with the shower date still up in the air I could not attend, coming from so far away. She was really sweet about everything-- nothing is wrong on their end; just lack of communication. I booked my flight this week for the wedding and I'll buy my dress in a few weeks-- they're not custom-made, so it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive the dress (which I can then take to my seamstress to have it hemmed, etc.). I still think this whole event is seriously disorganized, but that's not my problem. I'll be there for the weekend to do whatever they need me for (setting up the hall, etc.), and keep my mouth shut.
Thanks to all during a very frustrating week. I love my friend very much, but this whole epsiode of hunting her down to get some questions answered drove my Type A-self practically insane!

Three months until the wedding and they don't have the rehearsal dinner space yet? Or the hotels? Or the CATERER? WHAT???
(I come from an area where you can't plan a graduation party any later than six months in advance -- weddings need to be finalized about 8-12mos beforehand! Unless it's a casual affair, this seems insane to me!)
I expect some headaches for you regarding this wedding -- hopefully nothing major but if this is really as disorganized as it seems, you might be in for a few surprises. I hope you can zen any annoyances that pop up and feel free to post back here if you need to vent!
