The wedding coordinator was really nice on the phone but in person she was downright nasty.
She was rude to our family, she was rude to our photographer, and she was rude to our guest. After the rehearsal our family members commented on her bizarre attitude but we dismissed it as just a bad mood or something. However, the next day the photographer arrived at the church a little early to scope things out and then came to my room. There she commented that the coordinator was not nice at all. Then, after the wedding, a lot of our guest had stories for us about her snappy and impolite demeanor. The bagpiper even commented that she wasn't right in the head or something along those lines.
Not only was she rude but she actually tried to sabotage things. Minutes after I arrived, and before we were even lined up, she started the music. My husband had to grab his unsuspecting mom and rush down the aisle and everyone was scrambling to lineup. The worst part about her doing this was our minister was unable to make an announcement explaining that amazing grace was playing to honor our deceased loved ones, like my father and both our grandparents. Also, during the rehearsal she told me she would tell each of the wedding party members when to walk and that she would straighten my train for me before I walked. This did not happen. Instead she stood in the back with her arms crossed and a mean look on her face.
To top things off she harangued my husband as he was just about to walk down the aisle and immediately after the ceremony was over she started in on me. As my husband was getting ready to walk down the aisle she told him he needed to pay an additional $100 because I was a half hour late. Then, as I am taking pictures after the ceremony, she starts harassing me about needing a copy of the marriage certificate.
All in all even though the anti-coordinator tired her best to ruin things for whatever reasons she had we still managed to have an amazing time! We didn't go into it wanting things to be perfect we went into it wanting to become husband and wife and that's exactly what happened!
On a side note I must make it known that the minister of this church, he originally showed us around, was delightful! I hope some of his wonderful personality rubs off on that lady because she really needs it ;) and I hope she pass the torch asap because she should not be allowed around people on their special day! read more
