bwahwahwah!! b/c I'm bored and couldn't resist!

From one of our favorite vendors...favorite for entertainment purposes at least! Yes, the picture is from the vendor's website...klassy I tell ya!

"HALLOWEEN UMLAUF MAUVAIS REVE
A friend sent me the pictures of the lovely bride and groom below, and I just couldn't resist sharing their pictures after the dreadful whole-family feedback they left because I asked about the flowers they'd contracted bring. Huhhh? All I can say is please 'consider the source of ALL online feedback! On the left bottom is the happy couple swigging a beer..on the right bottom is the groom Aaron Lord in the band Confuzatron.(Appropriate name) Every time I do an outdoor wedding, I swear off. Please allow me to share with you about the birds and the bees! If you look closely at two of the cake tiers, there are BEES going after the cake--that's what bees do. My last was at Symphony Square where the PIGEONS were divebombing the cake! Yes, really!   I want to please my brides always, but cooperation is essential--not a lot. Brides normally like to pick their own ribbon because there's a gazillion different colors from which to choose. Appropriate Halloween wedding this one was! Please think twice about outdoor weddings and then don't! Or have the wedding outside and put the cakes INSIDE!!! :-) Our number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. This is the kind of wedding that always results in bad feedback...like why didn't I set up the cake table??? Actually, that's the caterer's job always. Why didn't I come in instead of waiting in the car for an hour till the cake table was set up? I was on time, and the caterer wasn't, and I didn't want bees on the cake-- they're inevitable Helloooo... If I'd set up the cake table, I would have set it up INSIDE. Mrs. Dela Isla from LAST week's wedding--you get my vote for 'Mom of the MILLENNIUM!!!' Sorry Yolanda Lord, Halloween Mother-in-Law extraordinNOT...Halloween was a great choice for this wedding mauvais r?ve. "

  • I can't find this on her website, but freaking funny!  I remember the Knot days and all the stories!
  • It's the 13th (I think) pic in album 1...
  • Good times.  Can't believe she is still around.

    Favorite x 1000. 

  • Wowww. I can't believe she's still in business either with that passive-aggressive attitude. I actually almost had a meeting with her when planning our wedding...luckily the Knotties were there to warn me off!
  • Wow... I wonder if she is ever going to go out of business!

    i have a bride who has contracted her for her wedding this summer... she had a positive experience with her at a friend's wedding and the price is right. i don't have any personal experience with this vendor, but am definitely not looking forward to the potential problems...

    Yikes, obviously I wish your bride the best...unfortunately I discovered her prior to discovering the knot when planning my wedding...We'll just say I ate that deposit and discovered Michelle!

    What happened with you and her?  I hadn't chosen my baker before we moved out wedding to Dallas, but my wedding planner had a serious run-in with ACL when she was planning her wedding. ACL was basically She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Smile
