Ok ladies this is to do with my wedding and not to do with my wedding!

My vicar is really starting to cheese me off!!
Hes the hardest person to get hold of EVER!!!

When we started calling churches we got in contact with my vicar and my OH's.
OH left a voice message as did I to each vicar, OHs vicar got in touch within a day.
Mine did not. I must have called the vicarage every hour for 3 days!
A friend then gave me the number of someone who attends the church on a regular basis. I called her and she recommended that I go to a service. I went to a service....the vicar was off ill and another person took his surmon. So he took my name and told me hed call me. I heard nothing! So then i went back to the church and the florist told me to go to the vicarage as she knew he was in!
AT LAST id met him and we arranged to meet the next day at the church with OH.
He was late for that meeting by half an hour...wouldnt mind but we drove to the vicarage and on the way back we saw him walking to the church with a sandwich in hand! So turned round making us look late. He was saying that hed been "off alately" due to a cold.
He told me to go to the church on the next service to pay the deposit, when i got there i was told he had to dash, so i left the deposit with the florist and she got loads of people in the church to sign to say id given it her and gave me the receipt bless her and she put it in the safe at the back of the church.....

now im trying to get in touch with him to christen our daughter and its happening all over again! He hasnt done a service in 2 weeks and no one at the church actually knows why! Hes not answering his door (even though his cars there). Not answering his landline phone. and he even gave me his mobile number which he told me hed reply to a text no matter what...SO WHY ISNT HE!!????

I know im sounding like a right nag here but its really peein me off! How can he be so hard to get in touch with? And im starting to wondering if its going to be the same around our wedding day! Will he get in contact with me to sort all the little bits out? Will he even show up!?
errrrrrrrrrrrrgh

Haha thanks!
Im getting really stressed out with it! I didnt know if there was anyway I could complain to someone higher...
I know hes got a personal life ect but surely he should be contactable and some part of the day.

I appricate the comment back! :)

I think that's a little out of order as he's one of the people who's supposed to put u at ease.... Not wonder what's going onx

Church of England? or Baptist, Methodist etc?
If you want to write the name of the church on my wall I can hopefully find you some contact details for the person who works above him and then you can go to them xx

It sounds like he may be going through some troubles himself if he's being elusive and others do not know why... personally I'd be worried for his health, though I know that doesn't help your situation.

The offer of help to find contact details is a good one, or try searching online for the church name yourself. There will be somebody above the Vicar... next in line is probably the Bishop (depending on the denomination). I assume that nobody in your family is involved with the church that you could speak with?

Good luck, and don't worry...

Hey guys! Sorry for late reply, Been very busy!

I got in touch with him!!!
I was late for a service as I had a docs appointment that over ran a full hour! but the florist said hed been there but had to dash! So to go back later and hed be at the afternoon service.
He was there and he put me in the diary to come see me the next day....he didnt turn up! I was FUMING!!!!!
cue me pestering him again. calls and texts. then my nan left him a message on his answer fone in her "authoritive" voice haha and HE CALLED BACK!!! and arranged to meet me the next day at 11.
He showed up at about quater to 12 but I was just glad he came! He said that things "keep coming up" and he was sorry, then things must have started clicking because after he asked me some questions he said..."o you sent me a note through my letter box?" "sorry i just totally forgot to get back in touch. He was very apologetic. and weve sorted the lil misses christening out so im very happy now :)

thankyou sazelle for the offer of help. if he lets me down again ill be contacting you! xxx

It does sound unusual for no one in his church to know where he is, but as the daughter of a methodist minister I can vouch that things do "keep coming up" when you're in that vocation. If someone calls to say that a member of the congregation has been taken into hospital and is critically ill he needs to prioritise that, for example. He should be telling you when that happens though. He might also get people ringing up or turning up at the vicarage to chat, and these chats tend to take a long time and can't be cut short. In that case he might not be able to warn you that he is running late.
