  • I'm getting married in an hour so HURRY UP!

    This woman comes into Wal-Mart wearing a full fledged wedding dress. She has a pretty good sized order & starts to checked out. Now it's a Friday aftenoon & you know that weekends are really busy at "wally world". The cashier is going as fast as he can but the lady in the wedding dress starts yelling at him. "LOOK! I'm getting married in an hour so you have to HURRY UP!" He says.."I'm doing my best mam". & wouldn't you know it? A few of her items have NO price tag OR a UPC anywhere on them so he has to call back for a price check. This makes her even angrier & she says...."I can't believe how stupid you are! You're going to make me late for my wedding!!"
    A lot of the people nearby are watching the entire thing & some say..."why in the world is she shopping an hour before her wedding??"
    So she gets done being rung up & she runs like crazy out the store! You should have seen her...it was like watching a white sports car take off....LOL.
    I talked to the cashier later on & he was amazed that anybody would be that stupid to be at a store right before they get married. He said..."Why didn't she get somebody else to shop for her?"
    You had to be there...lol.

      I think there's only one way to respond to that.

        I think it's a sign really. No kidding.

        Everything that has been romantically dear or near to our hearts religiously, romantically, spiritually, necronamically, prosthetically, grammatically...uhh....dutily...uhhh yeah.

        Anyways, commercialism has once again triumphed over tradition in a battle of money vs. honey. Curse you Jerry beaver.

          When i worked in the floral department of my store, I would once in a while get brides (or grooms ) on the way to their wedding stopping by to get their flowers!
          Yep, I actually made some hand-tied bouguest, boutiners, and corsages for folks on the way to their weddings!
          And I'm not a floral designer....I just worked there, and had no real bouguet supplies!
          I used floral tape, ribbon, and wire to make the bouquets...and they were pretty nice, if I do say so myself!
          The company that owned the department (it was a leased area) gave us classes at their main store to teach us basic floral skills, since this sort of thing seemed to happen.

          I actually enjoyed making the corsages at prom season, tho I did NOT GET PAID EXTRA for my skill! (when people placed orders ahead of time, our main store designers made the items and sent them to us with the twice-weekly shipments.)
          The floral designers got paid MORE THAN ME, by the way...

          I still enjoy making them, but have not in a long time, since I no longer work in that area. (and had no time to make them for my own wedding!)
          I no longer fear HELL.
          I work in RETAIL.

              Nice.

              I'm getting married in July, and my bride-to-be and I have gone to great lengths to make sure we stay on top of all the planning.

                OP, what did she buy? Was it wedding-like stuff? Sometimes people forget till the very last minute they need extra hose, hand cream, gifts for someone, etc.

                but yes, I agree, if she was wearing a full-fledged wedding dress, someone should be with her.

                  I don't care what I need, I would never even dream of going to wal-mart on my wedding day in my wedding dress. Whatever it is can at least wait until after the ceremony, and if it can't I would send one of the lowly Bridesmaids to do my bidding.

                    Twelve pack of condoms and a carton of smokes, probably.
                    I've been here for two years, work harder than most others, and I'm getting paid $1.80 an hour
                    less than the 17 year old slacker you hired two months ago. Maybe that's why I'm not chipper at work.

                      Personally, I think she just wanted the extra attention. Why else would you go out among strangers in an outfit so totally different from everyday wear and so, well, obvious?

                        Actually, my sister did something similiar to this (although not so suckily). On the day of her wedding, we had either forgotten some sort of craft item or simply ran out (I can't remember it was years ago). She didn't have her dress on, but she just her hair and makeup done and her veil put on her head. So, she to the local craft place and ran in to get whatever she needed, all done-up and fancy except for the casual jeans, t-shirt and tennis shoes she was wearing (with the veil)!! She knew exactly what she was getting though and it was only one item, so needless to say, she didn't take long. Took the cashier by surprise though! "You're getting married today . . . ?"

                        "Uhhh . . . yeah . . ."

                          we showed up to an all-weekend camping-style outdoor music festival in our wedding clothes, but that's because there was nowhere to change between the church and there (it was hilarious! People threw leaves and popcorn at us as we entered the campsite... at three in the morning!!!!!) Loads of fun

                          That being said, she NEEDS to sort out her priorities.....

                          *looks at watch* I've got time! (gold star for the two references)

                            Exactly what I was thinking - and being such a drama queen about it to boot. She had to make sure *everyone* knew she was getting married.

                            NOTHING is that important. If it is, that is what bridesmaids, friends of family, etc are for. I bet she was a royal PITA for the photographers - the thing to be doing one hour before the wedding is either getting ready or taking photos, not shopping at WallyWorld!

                              on my first wedding day I showed up at work to get my paycheck(it was on the way-and I had requests to see the dress from co-workers), so here I am in a huge poufy white gown, 7 cashiers fawning over me, and my manager walks right by and doesn't notice!!!
                              Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes
