And just when things were falling into place wedding wise! I get a call from an officious b*tch who "does the flowers" in the church we are marrying in. I've heard some awful things about her, how she hates outsiders and new ideas (OH and I are definitely outsiders to her ... I'm from four whole miles down the road!!) but I thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt as she had never been directly offensive to us, just cold towards us.
She left me a VM on my mobile whilst I was at work so I called her when I got home, I was as bright and breezy as I can be on a Tuesday at 5.30 and besides I didn't know why she had called yet so I had no idea what was about to come ...
she was so rude! She told me I'd picked a very odd and difficult day to get married and she didn't know if I had booked a florist but I couldn't bring flowers into the church in Easter Sunday it was forbidden! I said I had booked a florist and run everything past the vicar who was fine with it. She told me she does the flowers and she only allows lilies at Easter. I said I was more than happy to have her lilies in the church, I understood their meaning and the symbology of it but that we were bringing our flowers. There were yellow flowers (daffs) in the church last year and I said so and she said that was "his idea". I asked if she meant the vicar and she said yes and she disagreed with him. Fine, whatever but he is the vicar, not her!
She concluded with well that's that and hung up on me.
Ive emailed the vicar to explain what happened and clarify the situation but I am really annoyed. I've had a bad day anyway but seriously... I've not been rude or said I didn't want the lilies (personally I don't like them but I'm not going to get in the way of the tradition) I just said we have discussed our ideas with the vicar and we are doing so and so.
Cripes she has wound me up something proper.
no need for a reply I'm just effed off!!
