How to make the Groom cry as well as the Bride!

So where did it go wrong?

Now just imagine Toni’s dream dress. Full length. Lots of folds. A long train. Everything that she wanted to make her wedding to Richard so special. She knew that Richard would cry when he saw it. But Toni was the first to cry when she saw the size of the “special box”. For a mini skirt it would have been fine. But for a traditional bridal gown it was ridiculously small. So the beautiful dress had to go into a conventional suitcase.

On arrival at Stansted they headed straight

for the VIP lounge and a glass of

champagne. But where was it? One

advisor told them that it was closed.

Another told them that it was so far

away from their departure gate that it

wouldn’t be worth the walk. Hey ho.

Toni and Richard were in love. They

weren’t going to be put off by a ridiculously

small box and the vanishing VIP lounge.

On arrival at the hotel they were immediately informed that they would not be guaranteed all of their party to be sat together in the restaurant after the wedding service. Hmmm. Interesting.

What on earth made the company think that Toni and Richard wouldn't want to sit with their family and friends for their wedding feast???

The only option available to them if they all wanted to be seated together was to book a private room for an extra £180. But to be certain of the private room they would need to pay immediately as there was another wedding on the same day as Toni and Richard’s; the bride for that wedding would be arriving shortly and it was the first one to pay who got the only private dining room available.

Toni and Richard had struggled to pay for this wedding. The last thing that they wanted was to be pressured into coughing up another £180 without any warning.
