Hello,
My fiancé and I are getting married and of all the things we were stressed to figure out, we didn't think booking the ceremony would be that difficult. Our families are flying in from Canada and Easten Uniterd States for the ceremony (we know we can only have 4 witnesses, its fine), so picking the day is a big deal.
We originally planned for May 1st ay NY Clerk Office, and THOUGHT we were super diligent about checking the website right at 9 am like 3 weeks in advance to book. But to our surprise the day wasnt even an option when we selected; it took us to the Thursday before (April 30) or the Monday after (May 4). What i did notice was that because the 3 weeks in advance made it so May 1st was the first "new" day available, we also had up until May 8th to book. So we quickly scrambled knowing reservations and what not could be changed, and booked May 8th. We received a confirmation and everything and assume we're good to go.
But I'll check every day or couple days and see that I can't book May 8th. Like this was that day after booking it I couldn't book is again. So I have a sinking feeling that we'll show up on May 8th with all our family, be let into the building, and like, no officiant will be around and i'll have to cuss everyone out!
Anyone experience this? Was there ever an issue not being able to do the ceremony but having a confirmation? Am I stressing for no reason, and its just because we picked a Friday that times go in an instant?
