Wit AND karmic payback... that story was worth waiting for. Get some rest during the holiday season, you've more than earned it. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Thank goodness Mom was a standup lady. At least it's over. The caterer's life. I only did it part time, but boy, I almost never miss it. Have a great holiday, hope you're getting some time off.

May the new year bring you at least one decent client who treats you like you deserve.

Much love to you on Christmas.

Oh my.......

She only got a dollar for the dance!? Do not tell me there is no God........ :-o

Happy Holidays Food Whore!

And get some rest already!

Cheryl (and I am not the cheap one)

You are a true pro. Much admiration from me to you.
I hope that in the New Year all your tricks are reasonable, honest people. At least the MOB was not going to try to stiff you for the extra guests, and I fervently hope that the extra food went to good use.

Your friend in food,
Ben

PS: I hope Cheap Cheryl gets food poisoning from her cheap caterer.

If I knew what you look like, I'd track you down and buy you a lemon drop. A big one. Like, four liters.

oh my gahd. I can't believe her own mother said that. Kinda sad, even though it sounds dead on.

You know, when your own mother says that your life is about to get gritty - and on your wedding day, no less - then you know it's going to be bad.

You were a trooper, keep up the wonderful posts.

Thanks for the completion of the Bridezilla story! I just have to laugh...BZ's mother predicted 350 guests and you said the final count was 332. Mom was almost exactly right! Someday I hope Bridezilla apologizes to her mother. But...I doubt it will ever happen.

I visit yr blog for quite some time now and lol reading it, thank you for sharing. I have to applaud mom, twice, once for the classy act and once again for having such insight. Makes me sad too, imagine you have to say that on yr daughters wedding day...brrr. Only 1 dollar? whoaah!
Wishing you Happy Holidays (and some peace and quiet fun times from Holland)

What comes around goes around. You saw it happen with your buttery cellphone, and the mom saw it in her poorly-raised daughter. The daughter will see it eventually, when she's not sheltered by those who have protected her up until this point. Maybe she caught a glimpse at the dollar-dance? But it's karma, through and through. The vibe you put out is the vibe you get back. I've it bite me in the ass enough times to make me cautious: Karmic payback is a bitch.

Good gracious, you have to wonder about the sap that married Bridezilla, don't you? It's a wonder he went through with it. Gotta give her mother credit though, she certainly showed some class. Too bad her daughter didn't inherit that from her.

Stories like this remind me again why I married with only 20 close friends and family around.

unbelievable.
well, no, actually, believable.
As I said before, I sew for these "insects"...but you have to cook for them.

I hope you don't take Cheap Cheryl's trick even if she coughs for a deposit. Those kind who finally pay what you ask, just slam you the whole time so they're not worth it.

Thanks for sharing the story though.
Loved it.
Glad her momma has her figured out.

Dollar dance... talk about a no-win "tradition" Either it's prostitution, or... well, I never heard of something like that happening. Embarassing.

The really sad thing is that there's a guy out there now who has to live with this woman. Every day. And night. Bet he's looking for a job with lots of travel opportunities about now.

I have always thought the dollar dance was tacky.

acuzine does work
