Paying for your wedding can be very inconvenient.

Get some money back after the wedding bride.

We don’t have this often and whilst not trying to give anyone ideas this one really takes the biscuit. Obviously the visa bill must arrive after the honeymoon, which must cause nervous breakdowns. With the knowledge that Marks and Spencer accept returns maybe a wedding shop would do the same?

Prising pearls of the delicate tiara the bride returns from her sun kissed holiday in the Seychelles tiara in hand claiming they simply fell off in her hand before she had gone down the aisle. She said the trauma of this event nearly ruined the entire wedding and with this in mind I should not only give her a full refund for the offending item but also give her some recompense for the distress and “horror” it caused. On inspecting the item I notice the “peach blossom” nail polish left from the forcibly removed pearls and point this out to the bride “that’s strange don’t know how that got their” she squirms. Smiling I sympathise and reply I will of course look into the matter after I have received a wedding photograph showing the item without the pearls. Funnily enough I never hear from her again couldn’t have been that traumatic then.

I receive another letter this time from Bride S, she has lost her ribbon that laces up her corset and I must of forgotten to put it in to the bag and so she wants compensation for the …wait for it… “Horror!” that it has caused. She did actually use another ribbon but this was not the point the hours of work we spent on the dress when she lost five inches is forgettable in comparison to her credit card bill. I politely decline from paying her “horror” compensation but ask her to send me the name and address of the place she was dressed at to see exactly how long it took to sort out her dilemma. Funnily enough I didn’t hear from her at all either although, I wasn’t surprised because my super detective work leads me the believe that if she was claiming from us she would be claiming from everyone else that offered a wedding service and I’ll bet the reception rooms were in the middle of a “horror” letter too.

Weeks later I see a "horror" and "distraught" stricken bride and her husband whisking along the Yorkshire roads in a brand new Mercedes convertible laughing away in total bliss. Then months later I receive a call from her Mother in Law asking to bring her other daughter in law to be as we are “wonderful” and made the wedding of Bride S “such a pleasure” which was quite strange as Bride S claimed in her letter that everyone knew the “horror” we had caused her included the aforementioned Mother in Law. So how then could we know be considered “wonderful”. Strange indeed!
