How many of you have felt so comfortable amongst friends, family and colleagues that you have divulged your full future wedding plans..and in some detail? Only to find out weeks later that a member of that party has now become engaged and has STOLEN your wedding dream. As you recall her original plans were quite different and maybe even fit for the crappy pages of a cheap magazine featuring a fake-baked "z" lister.
Now I suspect this has happened more often than not. For us, the victims, of a beautiful idea stolen without shame or remorse are left with a dilemma. Do we scream "hey hang on a minute you filthy rotten thief!" (lets duel!!) or do we let it go? let it go because they are engaged and we are not and if we tell anyone we are made to look like we are jealous but we are not, we are disappointed and actually quite the victim.
This has happened so often, stories I have heard throughout my career in the bridal industry, sister-in-laws stealing dream dresses, people turning up to a friends wedding two weeks before their own and realising the whole day has been stolen. It happened to me, during a lovely conversation between myself and an ex colleague, where we would get married what would we do, wear,say..her original plan included her parents summer house in Wales bla,bla,bla I told her about my beautiful boho plans only to find out that sure enough a week later she was telling everybody her plans for a "boho wedding" all sounding very familiar! To conclude, maybe we should keep some details to ourselves because for those with no imagination, stealing a wedding is the only option.
Has it happened to you? Let me know xx
