First bridezilla - 08-16-2011, 04:35 PM


I knew they existed, but I guess I have been lucky so far.
The whole thing makes me angry, tired, sad. I hope I develop a better radar for the future.

we all deal with them - i had one rear it's ugly head this past week on wedding wire. just sent them all the documents supporting my actions.

just remember to keep to the facts and leave the emotion out of any dispute. how you handle can define you in ways you would not imagine.

I attended a workshop for my corporate job that taught us to pick out the actionable sentences from an email or a conversation, and only reply to those.

For example, you have a customer email that drones on and on for 15-20 sentences, and buried in all of that is one sentence that says "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WON'T GIVE ME A REFUND." That is the only sentence to respond to, and simply state the verbiage in the contract and leave it at that.

I use this technique a lot in my professional interactions with customers, and it works wonders at defusing tense situations.

One of my mentors reminded me that you can give 1000 brides World Class service, but it's the one angry bride that can bring it all down. Smile and say "ok." until you're willing to get sued to say "no."

Tough, tough call.

Remember it is everyone's prerogative to be an a$$hole but there are some who abuse that privilege.

If she's acting like this now, don't marry her! Did you learn nothing from the Kardashian wedding?


I watched part of the re-run on TV. I can't believe that guy went through with the wedding.
