Bridezilla

I suppose by my header you can already tell what this will be about. I have to deal with many a bridezilla and momzilla in my job, and you have to do this with a smile on your face and a calming voice even though you are screaming on the inside. They can literally be screaming at you and you have to smile and find a way to get done what they need. I've decided some clients don't think we are human beings, just meer robots that have no feelings or no limits.

Anyway, with that said, I had a planning meeting last night with a bride, groom, and sister of the bride for an upcoming wedding at the Boat Club. Now, let me first say that, there was no working around my schedule, only theirs. So I had met them at the venue at 6:45pm. Of course, I didn't actually leave that meeting until around 9pm....this is why I get crabby. That was just the tip of the iceberg. The bride came in just annoyed with everything, I was charging her too much for things (I told her I don't have control over the prices). I got yelled at for having milk cost $2 a person. Unless you want to milk the cow yourself, there are costs involved in everything. So we did away with the milk. At one point I was asked if our servers were "trashy". I was so caught off guard, I akwardly laughed and had the most shocked look on my face. The groom was mortified and I just reassured her that was not the case at all. Then it just spiraled from there, nothing was good enough, the plaques on the wall were not symmetrical, etc. I showed her pictures of a previous wedding at the venue and I got a glare and a "that bride's ugly"...it was a disaster. The worst part of this, is that the wedding is the same day my cousin Marcie's wedding is in Colorado, hence why I freaked a bit because I won't be able to be at this wedding. I'm nervous everything is going to go wrong. Luckily, my co-worker Natalie, said she would be there that day...I told her the whole story and said "I wish you luck" :) haha. When I get married, whenever that day may be, I will be so easy no one will even know what to do!

My work laptop decided to get a virus today while I was in the middle of work and has basically crashed. So I have to head out to Bloomington tomorrow to drop it off at our tech place and hopefully they can fix it. In the meantime I'll work at home and run out to the Boat Club when I have meetings. I never realized how lost I am without that, I can't get anything done!

Side Note to everyone out there not married yet or know someone not married yet, when you plan your wedding, go easy on the Event Planner....
