Help needed: First of all, I don’t mind helping at a friend’s wedding. But the bride just sent out a list and assumed that I will agree to doing the tasks (mine was being a “transporter” for plants).

I know it’s her big day and once in a life time event, but for me, I still have work on that day, it’s just another day for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am still happy for her though, because it’s HER wedding.

I am not a top event planner with lots of experience, but I do work professionally at catering, such as dinners, weddings and oversee events.

I am not happy that she assumed I will be okay with being a transporter (and yes, this is the name she came up with) for the day of.

What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

What should I do?
Thanks for all your help! To answer some of your questions: I am not a bride maid, and plant transporter was the only duty assigned for the day.

Taking some of your advice, I emailed her and told her I can’t do plant transporting due to work but will take half a day off and help at the dinner. She asked if I can take the rest of the half day off!!!

I so wanted to send an email to her fiance and wish him luck marrying her.

One of my good friends (Lets call her Jan.) was the maid of honor for her best girlfriend’s (Lets call her Tina) Wedding 2 weeks ago and she was being an awful bridezilla. Well anyway Jan felt insulted after she helped plan the rehearsal dinner and acted as the de-facto wedding planner and in her opinion she felt that Tina did on the day of the wedding was bitch and bitch about everything. (I was there and trust me she was being a bit of a cow!) Tina even insulted her personally all because she felt Jan’s shoes didn’t match her dress. Well after the wedding Jan felt so angry at how she acted and behaved that she has been ignoring her phone calls. Tina feels awful for how she acted but is worried that her friendship with Jan that she greatly cherishes has been tarnished. What do you think would be a great way for the two to make amends?

Bridezilla asked:


I am a person who stresses about every detail, especially when it comes to my wedding!
I’m wondering if I should hire a wedding planner and am wondering if you know how much they charge?
Did you hire one, did you plan your own wedding?? How did it worked out for you??
I, like every bride want my wedding to be perfect and don’t want to have to lift a finger during my day
