I am very fortunate in that I usually have wonderful brides and families to work with. I have done countless of weddings and have yet to only run across a handful of tempermentals that make my job, should we say...."interesting?"
Take for instance a mom and her daughter yesterday. We had a meeting with a venue facilitator, but because of miscommunication, the atmosphere in the meeting became awkward. Instead of letting it escalate into something worse, the mother took it upon herself to apologize and bow out gracefully, even though there was no cause on her part to apologize at all. A very graceful and beautiful mother wanted nothing but a perfect day for her daughter and quickly looked to resolve what could have been a very icky situation.
Instead of demanding this and that, this mom chose to take the opportunity to teach her daughter a valuable lesson in humility and grace. I honestly wanted to stand up and applaud her graciousness. I was humbled and honored to have witnessed her actions.
The wedding plans? The daughter's wedding will turn out far better than first imagined and will be a wonderful success---all because one woman took the high road and did the right thing for her daughter. Thank you!
