wedding story

[vacation_rentals_suck]

Me: thanks for calling us this is Dave, how may I help you?

Guest: yea, Dave, I saw a property you guys rent and I would like to reserve it for my daughter's wedding

Me: I'm sorry we dont allow weddings at our properties

Guest: you cant call the owner and see if he would be willing to make an exception?

Me: no sir, our policy is no weddings at the rental properties

Guest: ok well let me just reserve it, I can make other plans for the wedding

He reserves the property and this was six months ago.

Today one of the housekeepers was on the island and noticed a whole bunch of cars at this property. She went and said she saw like 200 chairs and it absolutely looked like they were preparing for a wedding. Our on duty property manager went to check it out and indeed discovered that a wedding was getting ready to take place. She told them the wedding could not go on.

An hour later, the bride comes in the office in her wedding dress and in tears

Bride: Where is Dave?

Me: I'm Dave

Bride: Dave, you ruined my wedding day. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of a wedding on the beach and you ruined it. I hate you.

Me: When your father called me, I specifically told him the wedding was not allowed at the property

Bride: you're a liar..(she then falls to her knees and cries again)

Bride's sucky mother: I expect you people to reimburse us everyone paying to fly out here for this wedding and also to reimburse us for the humiliation we endured. You told my husband we could have the wedding there and now my daughter is devestated because the day she dreamed of since she was 7 years old has gone down the toilet. Oh dear, we have to get her to the hospital, she is hyperventilating again.......it's ok honey............(she then turns to me)....I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY

In one ear, bounces out again and gets replaced with the 'real' answer.

[Evil Queen]

me: Yes, I'm quite happy! Didn't you know? I'm the Queen Bitch around here and your misery fuels me.


It's okay Dave, shit happens, people move on.

[Aethian]

Shouldn't have reserved the property to the guy. But then hindsight is 20/20

[Bright_Star]

So what happened after that?

[Evil Queen]

So what happened after that?

Then I went home and ate baby hearts with milk and my lucky spoon!

Oh, wait, that's directed at Dave. Silly me.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I feel sorry for the poor groom marrying into that family of EWs.

[Soria]

Shouldn't have reserved the property to the guy. But then hindsight is 20/20

Kinda have to agree with that, but hey, what were you supposed to do, refuse because you couldn't make the guy promise not to have a wedding on the property?


Then again, who knows, maybe this woke the groom up, and he ran for the hills, stopping the breeding of the EWs.

[TruthHurts]

I'd have patted the groom on the shoulder and say "You owe me man, now run, run for the hills"

[KabeRinnaul]

I think I know what the attempted scheme was, here.

Step 1) Call and reserve beachfront location for wedding. Get told no weddings.
Step 2) Reserve property anyway. More than one phone call is too much work.
Step 3) Hold wedding without asking - surely they wouldn't dare interrupt the event and send two hundred people home!
Step 4) Oops, fail at life. Ruin daughter's wedding because you think rules don't apply to you.

I really hate those sons of @#$%&s who think, "huh, let's pull a fast one on the guy." It's like they don't think anyone will notice. Fucking cute, you lose money on the minister, the decorations, the catering, the DJ, the limo, the chairs, and other shit (maybe they were able to take pictures before the wedding). Though I can imagine the following conversation 6 months ago.

Father of Bride: FB
Mother of Bride: MB
Bride: B

FB: Ok, we can't hold the wedding on that property. I just talked to Dave. We have to plan it somewhere else. But I rented it out anyway, so you can honeymoon there, honey bunny!
B: Wah!!! Daddy, I want my wedding on the beach!
MB: I can't believe you made baby cry! You spineless wimp, why you let them tell you you can't have a beach wedding! You obviously can! They don't know what they are talking about!
FB: Listen, there are more venues on the beach, see, here's the phonebook.
B: *still crying, is flailing her legs*
MB: No! We won't waste any time looking for another venue! Just don't tell them we are going to have a wedding there, you spineless wimp!

Me: When your father called me, I specifically told him the wedding was not allowed at the property

Bride: you're a liar..

Bride's sucky mother: ... You told my husband we could have the wedding there

Please tell me the rental agreement the father signed states the no wedding policy. Otherwise it is going to be your word against Dad's when the lawsuit is filed - and you can be pretty sure one is on its way.

I do find it interesting that dear old Dad did not come in to confront you.

[videodrone]

my sympathies to the bride. Shame on the father. I hope he realizes that it's HIS fault he ruined that girl's wedding.

Probably not. With people like him, it's never their own fault. It's always someone else's. I used to be with someone like that.

[tropicsgoddess]

I have don't have sympathy for anybody...except Dave. No means no, but apparently the Sucky Father of the Bride thought he could pull a fast one because he felt that he was the exception to the rule. That's why I'm planning and paying for my wedding myself, so that I know I'll have it my way.
