All your Wedding needs
20 November 2008
Everyone knows a bride who seems to take things a bit too far, but it's usually accepted as it is her wedding after all. If you are helping a bride to plan her wedding, though, never think that you cannot set boundaries for how you are treated.
A wedding is stressful to organise, no one denies that. If you are giving a hand in the organisation, though, you get your share of the stress as well. A monster bride need not be tolerated. You're volunteering your time, effort and possibly cash out of affection for the couple - if you are being verbally abused by the bride-to-be over the smallest things, call her on it. While she may talk about the stress and how she wants everything to be perfect... Well, hear her out and explain calmly how you want the very best for her wedding, but that you do not appreciate being shouted at or that you feel the bride is not being very appreciative of the effort people are going to.
It is quite possible this could end in a shouting match, but what would you prefer: a one-sided shouting match where you take abuse or an argument where you can possibly get the bride to curb her poor behaviour? Even if you end up not working on the wedding, the others who do will likely appreciate that you broached the subject of the bride's behaviour and may be less likely to take it themselves in the future.
