Turned my dream wedding into a nightmare

We got married in November 2013. Xotic lightings gave me a qoute for my dream wedding. Wednesday before the wedding we were to have our final meeting which didn't materialize cos his grandparents was ill -alarm bells!!! I was assured that all was in order. Friday before the wedding we went to the venue hoping to find the work halfway.....nothing was done other than dirty draping. By midnight on Friday there was still no sign that everything would be ready by morning. My wedding day came.....I had someone on site to oversee things. To my dismay she asked me to delay my entrance as my ceremony setup was an eyesore. I had to eventually leave home as the guests and groom were becoming restless. On arrival I was so disappointed to find a shabbily dressed gazebo - the show went on. Due to the time taken in delays my photoshoot had to be cut short. Not surprisingly,the starters ran out before even half the guests ate. The tables lacked most of the stuff I had paid for. But the lowest point of the day was having to improvise because the food had not arrived. Some hrs later food was dropped off,far from what I had ordered - no drinks - noone to serve dessert, Nico nowhere to be seen!
