wedding story

[smileyeagle1021]

I actually have to feel kinda sorry for the bride... I'm taking it she had no contact with Dave and she just had to go off of what daddy dearest said... and if daddy dearest is too lazy to find another venue or to spineless to tell his daughter it isn't available him lying and saying he had called Dave again and gotten him to agree without ever lifting the phone.

[Getoutofmylobby]

Yeah, i find it weird how Daddy conveniently wasn't around for the whole "you ruined my life" part at the end.

Ooh and then the conversation shortly afterward...

FB: "Did it work?"
MB: "No! It didn't work you retard!"
B: "My wedddinggggg!
FB + MB: "Shut up!"
FB: "So what do we do now?"
MB: "We sue their asses!"

Wow, what awful parents.

This is one story where I really REALLY feel sorry for the bride. It's not her fault she has a sucky father.

Can't agree. She called Dave a liar. Totally uncool.

That part isn't cool no, but imagine the durress she's under when she made the statement. I would lash out at the nearest person too and only later discover what I'd been doing. But her dad probably lied to her and said everything was Dave's fault anyways. She's not in the best state of mind to put all the facts together so I'm gonna give her some leniency.

She has to go to the hospital because she's hyperventilating? Hyperventilation is not life-threatening. Trust me. I've done it lots of times.

I have question. Why are weddings not allowed to be held at the rental property's?

also I'm kinda torn on this, on the one hand the family was wrong for trying to trick you guys but on the other hand the duty manager was a bit of a bitch for demanding the wedding that was about to take place be canceled immediately. The best bet would of to let the wedding go on and then fine the fuck out of them

[Forensic Waitress]

If I was the bride I would have organised these things myself. Purely because I will know what is going on and I will not get people, who even with the best of intentions, screwing things up for me.

Although I also wouldn't go way over the top because things did not go right on the day. How many of us plan things and then life throws you a curve ball. I think maybe they needed some perspective given to them.

I have question. Why are weddings not allowed to be held at the rental property's?

1). Because EVERYONE would want to have their wedding there. Can you imagine standing there at the altar...
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today-"
" Hurry it up will ya! We have our booking in 10 minutes!"
"Oh I want my dress like that!"
"Forget this, where's the food!" etc.

2) Can you imagine the bookings for that resort? They would go down the tube! Every two paces you can't go into an area because "This is closed for a private function."
"But this is the only way out of the hotel!"
"I said...CLOSED!"

3). Setup, catering, tear down, and cleanup. Long hours, no breaks. Nobody would want to work in that position for very long.

4). If this is a popular tourist destination, no one would be able to access the parts of the property they so desperately waited all year to see.

I used to work at a place that disallowed ANY wedding attire or photos. So I kinda would know why.

1). 3). Setup, catering, tear down, and cleanup. Long hours, no breaks. Nobody would want to work in that position for very long.

Also the question of who's doing the cleanup. Most catering companies (I hope) would have contact with the venue regarding setup, food, etc. My guess is the family was handling the details themselves. With weddings & receptions, most people are great at setting up, but not so great at picking up the confetti, keeping the lawn in pristine un-trampled condition, etc. And for 200 cars!?! Where were the parking? They're probably parking illegally or taking up paying customers' parking.

I feel for the bride and wedding party (sans father) as well. No guarantee he told them what was going on.

Now I want to know, what happened next? And were they charged a PITA fee for the cleanup and resulting mess?

That's what I want to know! You have to tell us the ending!

my sympathies to the bride. Shame on the father. I hope he realizes that it's HIS fault he ruined that girl's wedding.

Shame on the parents for so coddling and spoiling the little girl that she was able to reach the age to be legally married without ever experiencing any disappointment at having things not go her way.

She wants to be married on the beach, this beach. And Daddy is afraid to tell her, "We'll have to find some other beach. This fellow won't allow us to rent it for a wedding."

I got married in a public park. Really inexpensive, too. The drawback was we couldn't serve alcohol in a public park. (The caterer didn't have a liquor license, anyway) The only person who complained to me was the one dating an alcoholic. (I don't mean he just drank a lot. I mean his hands shook from the time he woke up in the morning until he got sufficient booze in him at some point later in the day.)

I didn't need the police at my wedding. I was mature enough to realize people seldom get everything they want.

[PepperElf]

bleh. she should ahve gone to hawaii. i dont think it's hard to get one of those beach weddings there. but you do have to rent a specific size of beach i think (square footage).

[blas]

I'm one of those here who's thinking Daddy didn't tell his daughter that there was a "no wedding" policy. I'm sure he just pulled his fast one and let everyone believe that everything was honky dory.

[walking with scissors]

GET OUT! She did not. What unbelievable gall.

But the good news is, you ruined her wedding.
