You Think Your Wedding Was Bad

Posted by Diva on December 20th, 2007

Of all the things that could go wrong on your wedding day, would you ever think that somehow your wedding might get accidentally canceled?

From BBC News “Sam Gilford, 34, and Anne Campbell, 37, spent almost £6,000 on a wedding and four-week holiday in Cancun.But just two days before the ceremony, the hotel informed them they had no record of their wedding.Travel agents Thomson Worldwide admitted they had accidentally cancelled the wedding.”

Ouch. That hurts. You would think that since this couple had family and friends flying out that someone would try to help them out. Maybe secure them a different location, perhaps make accommodations to be open during an off time, but nope.

“The couple were offered alternative dates for the following week, but their families would not have been able to attend…The couple have been sent a cheque by Thomson for £2,226, totalling the cost of the wedding package and the unused nights at the hotel.”

Normally I am not in favor of suing people but come on. That was the best they could do? The lady spent her “wedding day” in her room crying and watching other people get married.

Maybe she wasn’t resourceful enough because I would have gotten married that day, believe me, someone would have been performing my wedding ceremony.

Okay, so its one thing to have a crappy photographer or the wrong color flowers. Both of these can be overlooked and laughed about later because otherwise the wedding went off without a hitch (umm…actually I guess there was a hitching, but you know what I mean.) But no wedding at all!!!! That is one bride that could have been as zilla as she wanted to be and it would have been permissible!

If that were me I would have been worse than any bridezilla ever documented. Like I wrote in the post, somebody would have been performing my service.

I would have been terrible. I would have MADE them pay for my stay in another hotel for 4 weeks, and I would have MADE them call for someone licenced to marry us.

[...] that’s how you handle a situation, you improvise. You don’t leave a bride crying and guests stranded with wasted trips. Yup, Thomas Worldwide I’m talking to [...]
