wedding video
i need to vent. a friend of ours took video at our wedding ( we did not ask him to) and it was great. he then offered to have it burned onto a DVD or somehow get it on a website we could download it from. that was in June. we are going to visit my parents this fridy in South Carolina and I asked him over a month ago if we could get it by this week, which of course he said yes. He is def one of our most unrealiable friends but after assuring me it would be done, i am at the end of my rope. He has been to our house 3 times in the last few weeks, each time i have asked him to rbing it over. he forgets. now i just left hjim a message that i have to have it by thursday and what do i need to do? I offered to drive to his house the night before the flight to go get it if i have to, he has not responded yet. i am so pissed b/c it has been really hard with my aprents so far away udring all the planning for the wedding i would love to watch the video with them. i am hoping that our frined gets his act together and at least calls me to set up a time i can drive 40 minutes to go pick up the DVD.
Re: wedding video
He is doing you a favor. You didn't ask him to tape your wedding so I am wondering why you now think you can demand the video? It might not be high on his priority list. I would think if you really wanted a video and it was priority you would have contracted a professional to do the job. I hate to sound snarky but it just sounds like you are bitching about a friend who is doing a favor for you.
i hear what everyone is saying, but it's done, it's on the DVD and apparently just sitting in his house, unless he is out right lying about it. I would totally understand that my wedding video is not high on anyone's list, but he burnt it directly into a dvd, no editing, or music or anything, it's done. yeah, just hoping i can drive up and get it thursday night.
Have you been really direct with how you feel? I know if I were in your situation, I would probably be really careful with what I said bc it was a huge, nice favor. However, there comes a point where maybe you need to be blunt and say "you say my dvd is done and sitting there, I am free on __ I am coming over to pick it up. Is it done or not?"
I agree that it probably isnt the top of his priority list, but if he says it is done, I dont see an issue with you being direct about getting it!
It stinks that he's taking forever with it. Sure, it was a favor and he can work on his own timeline, but to me, part of the favor of agreeing/volunteering to tape it is to finish it. The favor wasn't taping it... the favor was to have a completed wedding video.
Favors are always a sticky situation... I learned that the hard way with wedding stuff, too.
GL - hope you get it soon!
I would say if you don't have a contract you're pretty much on his schedule. Even with a contract you can't always get things when and how you want them :::stinkeyeatmarkjones:::
Your best bet is to wait a month and see what happens. Tell him you want to make copies for the holidays.
