“My daughter worked some years as a wedding videographer and has some astonishing stories about tantrums thrown by brides when the wedding did not EXACTLY match up with their fantasy. Also the brides’ mothers.”

Amen to that! I was Wedding Coordinator at a 5-star resort in Hawaii and I’m still shaking my head 20 years later. 95% of the weddings were for non-locals so most planning was done via phone and mail (email wasn’t big then). Sometimes I didn’t meet the players until a day or two before the wedding.

Speaking of fantasies: One bride demanded a nosegay to carry. Arranged it. After the wedding she was livid because she was “supposed to look like Audrey Hepburn”, and the nosegay was supposed to make that happen via magic. The chick was blond and fat. Sometimes the mothers would create absolute chaos, although many couples were running to Hawaii to avoid families’ interference.

Five-star resort. Hawaii. The money spent was decadent.

I'm still pissed at you. I ASKED FOR THE PARTY TO ASSEMBLE ON THE MARTIAN PLATEAU. I was there, YOU WEREN'T! Where were the 25 Tirellian Jump Cruisers flying in formation overhead???!? What about the edible diamond-ruby cake with platinum frosting??!? ALL YOU COULD OFFER WAS CHOCOLATE CREME!!!

Next time I get married for a Zylogarian, I am NOT using YOUR services!!!
