The Nerve

Hello, this is a true story about one of the clients with whom I book a wedding reception with and cancelled 2 days prior to the wedding. August 11th 2004 I received an unexpected visit from a crying bride with whom I was contracted to decorate her entire wedding reception for which was a few days away. When she came into my business room ( I work out of my home) I invited her to sit down and explain to me what was wrong. Thinking that maybe she had to make a few changes, was having a bad day and wanted to double check all of the details of the reception decor or was just an emotional wreck because the big day was only a few days away, the news that she told me sent a cold shiver up my spine. "We called the wedding off!" she said. "When we went to apply for our marriage license, Jim told me that he couldn't go through with it, and that he had found someone else whom he decided to spend the rest of his life with instead of me. He left the court house and left me standing there open mouthed and speechless in front of everyone. Now here I am the event decorator in the same position as the now un-bride, open mouthed and speechless. Okay now what do I do? its only a few days before the wedding and everything had been paid for. All of my supplies were here and assembled and I have no wedding reception to decorate and boxes of supplies that I can not use. When the un- bride called me 2 weeks later she wanted to know if she could have a refund since she was no longer getting married. Can you imagine how I felt at that point? NO! I told her. It states in the contract that YOU signed no refunds will be given on any cancellations 30 days prior to your event unless something unavoidable should happen beyond our control such as a fire, flood or act of god this is based on our judgment. To this day I have not heard anything from the un-bride. I still have the several boxes of items that I was supposed to use to decorate her lavish custom colored wedding reception.
