“Oh NO She Didn’t!”

I bet I can vouch for almost all wedding vendors in saying that people often ask the question “Do you have any Bridezillas?” or “What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen at a wedding?” I can go ahead and say that probably most answers are “Yes”, and “Well I don’t know where to start…”
While gearing up for wedding season, we as vendors like to imagine the magical wedding that is awaiting us, and also as vendors, we all know things can happen. For instance, I began a wedding at Duke Chapel in Durham, North Carolina, at I believe 2:00PM and, well, the wedding actually took place at Duke Medical Center at half past Midnight. I also know of situations where a limo has backed over a photographer during a sparkle exit and a bridesmaid zipping a beautiful wedding gown INTO the dress bag… BEFORE the wedding. I know of bridesmaids fainting during the ceremony, and strip teases being performed by the groomsmen or bridesmaids after too many “signature cocktails”.. I am not wanting to scare all the lovely brides out there, because I assure you, all the things I spoke about worked out in the end.. However,  you might  know of something magical that happened at the wedding, like a surprise proposal for the maid of honor on the dance floor…I’ve seen that too.

So here is my proposition. I want to hear YOUR stories! Both the good and not so fab. After I speak to my bride from a few years ago (and get the okay) I will share the wedding at Duke complete with photos. :) As for you, I will have my girls check out your stories and post the best ones to my blog.. I don’t want anything terrible or fatal.. Just a little tale of “OH No She didn’t!
