I'm a weddingaholic

To celebrate my 300 day mark, I'd like to provide you with a list of wedding planning pet peeves

1. Random people who assume they are going to be invited to the wedding. Friends of friends, the guy from Starbucks, etc. I especially hate it when people I never spoke to suddenly want to be my bff because they might get invited for a free evening out and the chance to meet a husband (in the Christian world anyway)
2. Wedding vendors that do not respond to your emails with, "first of all, congratulations!" Seriously, I know this is a little bridezilla of me, but I'm potentially going to book you for my wedding at your enormously overly inflated cost, at least congratulate me. It's good business people.
3. When wedding vendors (regardless of whether or not it is 'wedding season') take 2 months to send me quotes. Chances are, I will not book with you if it took you 2 months to give me a quote.
4. When wedding vendors completely fail to email me back at all. For example, I asked a restaurant/catering company in Elmhurst if they would give me a quote. I was quite interested in this company being that they serve everything family style and I had heard their food was very good. The woman was very prompt in responding to my email but failed to include how much gratuity would be, would not factor in the cost of labor (she simply listed how much each waiter/chef would be per hour on the side and left the rest for me) and informed me that their restaurant does not supply linens or china and that I would have to use their specific rental company that they are contracted with to rent these items and factor that into my overall quote. She said she could forward me a list of prices on linens and china. I responded asking her to please do this, to which I never received an email back. This. is. bad. business.!!!
5. When wedding vendors act as if it is a favor that they are doing me to give me a tour of their facility or to take 5 minutes out their "very busy" schedule to talk to me. Do you not understand that I am considering BOOKING with your company for my WEDDING and paying you MONEY. I recognize that I am probably not your highest paying customer, however, you do not know that when I originally call for information or for a tour. For all you know, you could be flushing 30 or 40 grand down the toilet by treating me like I am inconveniencing you. How rude.

So ladies, if you are newly engaged, take heart. This is one of the only times in your life where you can act like a biotch and get away with it. The other time is when you are pushing a child the size of a watermelon out of your uterus.
