So. I wrote a story about the inn where we are holding the reception. My boss thought it would be fun for me, get to know the people and the place a little bit more.

But it turns out that first quote is a bald-faced lie. The inn is, in fact, for sale. A realtor confirmed it, off the record.

We (my boss and I) have a pretty good idea of why he lied, and it’s not some big nefarious plot, but just to protect some people’s feelings. But still. The person who is going to be helping me plan my wedding reception now has a lying track record.

James says I’m taking it too personally. He didn’t lie to me, but to “the press.” And James has his heart set on holding our reception there.

Okay. I can buy that. And I do still love the place and I don’t really want to change plans, either. But I’m nervous now. What if the place is sold before Sept. 6, 2008? How will that impact our event?

I’m thinking the best thing to do is sit down and get a contract signed. I wasn’t in a rush to do this before, but now, I don’t want to take any chances. If I have a contract, then they’ll have to honor the amazing prices they quoted me, even with new ownership. Right?
