I attended the wedding of a very good friend from college Saturday evening. My friend has been through so much in the last few weeks (just lost her mom to cancer), and I was so excited to be able to share her big day with her and couldn't wait to see her happy!
Ceremony was beautiful and it was so 'them'. However, the reception is when things went nuts. I was seated with other roomates/friends from college, so I was not alone in witnessing this. Here is goes:
1. The bartender at the bar on our side of the room was just nasty. No, we don't care that you had to make the drink that someone asked for a thousand times the night before. Beer bottles do not have to be slammed up on the bar. And you can at leas act as if you are happy to be there...crack a smile.
2. Someone at our table decided that it would be 'cute' to take the table number and pass it around the table so we could leave notes on it for he bride and groom. The server got PISSED about this and demanded that we stop. So we left it on the table. Then another server came back 20 minutes later and requested that we give it to her. We told her we didnt know where it went (ok, so we lied). She proceeded to scold us for writing on the table number because the venue reuses them. I could not believe this much chaos could be caused over a piece of paper. So today, I'm going to Staples to purchase a pack of paper and an ink cartridge and shipping it to them..they can print til their heart's content.
3. Our dinner came out about 20 minutes after every other table was served. (I guess this was our punishment). The food was cold at that point.
4. After the bride and groom cut their cake, every table received cupcakes (they had a cupcake tower) and a plate of displayed desserts. Guess what table didnt get any?? Yep, ours. So one of the girls at our table informed the server. She came back with the plate of desertes and not so nicely put it on our table. None of us ate it at that point. About a half hour later, I went back to the table after dancing and I heard the server say to another one 'see, they didnt even eat it'. I'm like hello?? I'm standing right here!
So, my question is...should I tell the bride what happened? I know I would want to know if that happened to one of my guests. I would be mortified. But I am not sure if I should even open my mouth at this point. WWYD??
