So we are getting married at a state park. Our guests have to go through the little gate check, and check in. I knew when we booked the area, that I would have to provide a guest list so that the gate keeper could check off the arriving guests and take a vehicle tally (we have to pay for all the wedding guests' parking). However, I reviewed the area and booked it when the park is normally not charging (it was winter) and I did all of the paperwork over the phone. So the other day, I went to the park to take some pics and measurements for the decorations, and they gate keeper was there taking money. When I explained that I was getting married and was just checking, she still made me pay. On my way out, I asked the lady (just to make sure I was clear on how the guests checking in), and she was very rude to me!! Should I get her a gift and give it to her on the rehearsal night...maybe would sweeten her up? If so what?
