More than 30 years of hospitality experience revealed bridezillas and in-laws who expect all wishes and demands to be met at any cost on a wedding day. COVID-era micro-weddings produced joyful, appreciative gatherings where only those who truly mattered attended. Parents of a restrained bride are encouraged to be grateful for raising an independent, integrity-driven daughter who values meaningful celebration over gifts, pageantry, and excessive spending. Parents should apologize for mishandling the situation and be thankful if still welcome to attend. Separately, a homeowner left keys with a longtime catsitter and a new acquaintance; costly jewelry went missing, prompting consideration of ending both relationships.
As someone who has worked in the hospitality field for more than 30 years, I have seen my share of bridezillas and in-laws who behave badly because they blindly believe that all of their wishes and demands should be met (at any cost) on the special day. One of the very few things I miss about the days of COVID-imposed micro-weddings was how joyful couples and attendees were because those few who attended were the ones who truly mattered.
I recently went on vacation and had my catsitter come by twice a day, as she has for the past five years when I travel. For the first time, I also asked a fairly new acquaintance I had met in a reputable spiritual center, and with whom I clicked quickly, to come by to water my plants. I gave each a key. Some precious and costly jewelry has gone missing.
