It's no longer 'Lassi' or 'the little house on the prairie'. It's about how bad can we be. It started with the Soap Opras and just exploded and is totally out of control with reality TV. We as a society seem to follow and behave as characters on television do. Divorces galore on TV, divorces are dime a dozen in real life. Explicit language on TV, listen to your kids and hear what they say when you are not around. Compare the television shows in the 60 & 70′s to the shows now.

It is here that I politely and firmly educate the bride that her wedding day "is" and "isn't" about her. From here I explain that while the day "is" about her and her grown, their love and the commitment they are about to make that will be witnessed by their family and friends, once the "I do's" are done it "isn't" about them any longer, but is now about their guests. I go on to explain that their reception is their first opportunity to be gracious host and hostess with their guests. Once this statement is made I can generally tell whether we'll be working with them or not, based on their reaction. If we happen to not be the "consultant" of choice, then we praise and thank God for dodging that bullet.

These brides should be ashamed of their behavior and how they are representing themselves and their families. I am just shocked. This is where I would have canceled my contract with this bride. I have a cancellation clause in my contract. I have only had to use it once and I hope I never have to again. These type of brides make wedding professionals cringe.
