Promptly after returning from Disney, I sent wedding announcements to our hometown papers, the Columbus paper, and our respective universities.  The Columbus paper and U of I seem to have properly handled the announcement - Rose gets a question mark; the Angola and Terre Haute papers are a different story. 

 The day before our wedding announcement should have been displayed in the Terre Haute paper, I receive an e-mail that says "Our forms have not been working correctly and since you didn't list an employer, I would like to confirm the information."  One, I'm not working, another blog entirely; two, why wait to the day before.  I was slightly annoyed.  After not hearing from the e-mailer for a few days, I call and end up talking to someone else.  I confirm the information then ask when it will be printed.  Three to four weeks, the run the announcements by the date of the marriage even though the website says they'll be posted within two weeks.  Whatever. 

 The Angola paper has been even more interesting.  Today, I called to inquire why the announcement hasn't run; this was the second call, I've placed.  On my original call, I was told to e-mail the additional information in because the form was incomplete.  The announcement never ran.  So I called, they never received the e-mail.  So I resent the e-mail; not in Sunday's paper.  Mom seemed slightly annoyed so I told her I would give the paper a call.  The second e-mail wasn't received either.  I sent a third e-mail; later in the day, I get a call, still no e-mail.  Great.  So I sent it from another e-mail account.  I finally get an e-mail confirming the receipt.  Unfortunately, no one can tell me when it will be printed.

 Ugh!
