The Call You Never Want To Get The Monday Before A Wedding..
Business By Carolynlovescake Updated 2 Sep 2007 , 4:22am by ceshell
"hi this is __________'s mom, we have a little problem. There may not be a wedding."
Turns out is was a bachelor party gone very bad.
The bride sobbing hysterically in the background, a father screaming to find the groom.... yeah very bad to say the least.
Something tells me there is no wedding as I could hear the bride screaming... lipstick on his ________ and ________ and all over his __________.
I hung up assuring the mother of the bride that this was so unforseen that we could talk about possible refunds later because she was needed by her daughter more than me trying to figure out everything at 10:00 at night.
I wasn't happy about the time but I'm glad she did, I was starting on her stuff tomorrow.
I know $$ will work itself out but I feel for that bride tonight. Poor thing.
Then 15 minutes later I have a mom call.. I know we have a party cake for _________ next week's slumber party but I just want to know if there is any way we can cut the cost? Can I come help you out to lower the price." *husband walks in*
"HONEY SHE HAS AN INFANT WHAT IN THE ARE YOU CALLING HER FOR THIS LATE... YOU BETTER NOT BE ASKING FOR A PRICE BREAK OR TO HELP THIS COULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL 'ING IN THE MORNING. "
She then HANGS UP ON ME!
5 minutes later the phone rang... me in a very not happy "hello" hubby's like dude I was just going to ask if you wanted anything"
"VODKA" I spit out at him with venom.
*he pauses*
"Bad night with the kids.. "
"No customers."
"Do you want it to drink or glue"
"Make that two bottles even though I don't drink anymore... the baby is teething... and it's for me not her."
he laughs and said... I was going to ask if you wanted anything from Taco Bell.."
"yeah tacos... with Vodka please"
I'm not getting the vodka... I think he's afraid I'll down it in one gulp.
So that's been my last 30 minutes.
Only 7 more roses to go with tomorrow's cake (I cut it back from 100 to 50, to 20, the baby's teething and I don't have my vodka. LOL)
OMG, you poor thing, I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a bad "last 30 mins", come on over, I have some absolut cranberry in the freezer...
(((hugs)))

I'm coming too for the Absolut. Never have tried the cranberry but I bet it is good also. I have tried other brands of cranberry vodka but I have drank Absolut/cranberry juice.
Anyway, CarolynGwen, my heart goes out to you. Glad you hadn't started the stuff yet. Poor bride. Poor parents. I've always thought bachelor parties were not a good idea........usually get out of hand. If he'll do it less than a week before the wedding, he'll probably do it after the wedding. JMO
Good luck with the bride and the mother of the slumbering girl.

And I have some Absolut Mandarin in the freezer! Mixed with cranberry juice, it's so yummy! I haven't tried the Absolut Cranberry yet.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sounds like a VERY BAD bachelor party. Why do some men behave like animals (and the women whose lipstick winds up on underwear)? Ugh.
Sounds like the MOB is a piece of work, too!
Goodness! You deserve a drink. LOL
ROFL I have a vodka as I am reading this and found that your hard night sucks and makes me glad I have Vodka and just reading this. Hope it gets better. If thats monday, then hang on GF cause it sounds like the satrt of your week. lol (((((Hugs)))))
Sounds like the MOB is a piece of work, too!
Actually she a total sweetheart, as is the bride. Longtime good friends.
She called because she knew I was starting early am and wanted me to be able to sleep instead of being up at 5:30 am.
Hubby came home from hockey.. no taco bell.They were out of shells. It's my turn... LOL
I am going to get the last 7 roses done tomorrow. Tonight I don't care anymore.
Oooh, I was confused...I meant the party cake mom, not the MOB. The one who wanted to cut the costs on the cake!
What a double disappointment - no vodka, no Taco Bell! Call it a day and sleep well!

oh yeah her, see I forgot about her already. She's cheap it's so bad she will take out a fake tooth or three (I AM NOT KIDDING) to look poor so she can barter with St. vincent & Goodwill on their prices then turn around at garage sales and sell it for triple the price. (Hubby makes great money and they don't need to cut costs to the extreme she does).
She's a piece of work alright.
OK lionladydi, the address is 4355 Hanging Moss, cakepro bring over the mandarin absolut, this is an open house!! DH and DS are in bed, open bar is on!!!!! Everybody, welcome!
Hubby came home from hockey.. no taco bell.They were out of shells.
What the??! Out of shells?? Well hopefully, bad things happen in threes so better the taco shells than another customer call!
I love this line too: "Can I come help you out to lower the price." Well maybe you should take her up on that; invite her to come over after it's finished and she gets to scrub the whole kitchen....vacuum the house too while she's at it.
Hope tomorrow goes better for ya. (And the bride.)
oh wow, yeah...that's definitely a call you don't want to get before a wedding! Yeah, I think I'd feel for the bride too. Why are men so stupid?? Ok, my husband didn't really have a bachelor party himself but many do and get into big trouble with it.
Glad she called you before you started though, very thoughtful of her
I am so sorry for the night you have had and I hope & pray the rest of the week is much better for you & the poor bride.
Now sorry to say (Please don't get mad at me ) but when I read this line you wrote I almost pee my shorts from laughing.
"yeah tacos... with Vodka please" Sorry but it was a funny reply.
Then after reading this line,
"Hubby came home from hockey.. no taco bell.They were out of shells".
I thought Vodka heck, this lady needs Moonshine after this.
I do think it was nice of them to call over the (might not/might) be wedding cake. Has for the cheap mother....tell her this is the cheapest you can go for the cake.... then tell her to go to Wal-Mart or the corner store, get a box of cake mix, a can of icing and make it herself and thats about as cheap as you can go
God Bless,
Sharon
That poor bride. At least she knows BEFORE she marries him.
I don't think bachelor parties are all bad but some guys are idiots.
Bless your heart! WE all need to be there with you.stiff drinks in hand.........
1. That groom is TOAST. He would be picking himself up off the floor......I feel for that bride.
2. As for CHEAPY, she can stuff her cake! She has some nerve or lack of, to call you and ask such a dumb idiotic thing............
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY helps me with my cakes, other than dh.and he's allowed to do very little, rofl.....she is a piece of work alright!!!
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!! Don't you worry......it's gonna get better.with or without the vodka, rofl..... seriously, I do wish you the best in these situations. ((()))))HUGS to you!
Oh, that poor bride! I hope they can work things out before the wedding, either for better or for worse (no pun intended). How respectful of the bride's mother to call you before you put any more time into it.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, but this really was a funny post (toward the end that is, not about the bride!). Loved the Taco Bell episode! lol
Yah it sucks for you. But better the bride to find out what a low-life he is now then to marry him and have it end in divorce.
Sorry you had such a bad, weird night. I can't believe some men...especially ones getting married in a week...can be so flippin retarded. A bachelor party does NOT give them the right to get it on with anyone "one last time". I'm glad she knows and I hope (not for your sake of course) that they don't get married.
Oh you poor thing, baby and all that mess on top of it! I hope you have a better day today! Have you tried a blue martini! Vodka and blue raspberry mix is divine!
I'm so glad the slumber party dad put the wife in her place....should have done it long ago!
As for the bride, maybe she'll be better off! If I were her, I'd still have the party, for my family, and change the way the cake looked, maybe the groom's legs sticking out of the bottom of the cake as if it'd been dropped on him!
have a better day!
oh I hate that for the bride that is the worst nightmare.... omg... I am nervous... great I am less then 42 days away and all that still has to take place... There better not be any lipstick anywhere!!
All the girls went to a winery and the boys went golfing......at least that's what they told me. LOL!
the night before my friend got married her fiancee and his friends, two of them married went to 42street NYC you can guess the rest...and it was not a strip club.
I feel for your situtation and the poor bride.
but I am enjoying reading yet another episode of "As the Cake Turns" he! he!
Keep us posted, good luck
my husband came home from his bachlor party completely covered in baby oil, baby powder, and head to toe lipstick - all put there by the grooms men and friends - to make him look like fool. Took him weeks to get all of the oil an powder out of crevases.
I do feel for the bride and hope it works out in the end.
I think bachelor parties can be pretty wild... but no reason to call off a wedding. Men are stupid - they do stupid things. The proportion of dumb@SS-ity is directly related to the amount of alcohol consumed multiplied by the number of friends egging him on. LOL!
I'd marry him anyway, and then just use it against him the rest of his life. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I hope everything works out for her and you both.
Your Taco Bell was out of shells? I can do you one better! The Taco Bell close to me has, on occasion, been out of MEAT! Oh, and one time the cash register was broken, so all you could order was tacos and bean burritos! Why? Was the stove broken too?
I'm sorry to hear about the bride, I hope evrything works out for her.
By the way did you ever get your vodka? I'm more of a rum girl myself...I've got enough to share!
Maybe it's better that the bride find this out now, rather than later. And I agree, if he'll do this a week before the wedding, what is he going to do after they are married? Poor girl. Nice that the mom called so you could sleep in (not that you can with a little one, but it was a nice gesture). And what's up with the cheap birthday lady? Who calls and asks if there's something she can help you with to lower the price? Wow - sounds like you had quite an evening!
Vodka and taco bell - very swanky! Darn husband for not getting you any. Good recipe with vodka for you - vodka with a dash of lemon juice, a lime, grenadine and ginger ale. My MIL calls it Colorado Coolaid - the BEST summer drink. Be careful though, they are sneakers! Seems all of us vodka drinks are spread out - lets meet in the middle somewhere and share recipes!
Carolyn - where in Oregon are you? My parents are in Bend.
Carolyn- I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I think the bride should go ahead and have the reception and have you make the cake a little different like someone else said instead of looking like a wedding cake. I feel for the bride and really happy for her that she found out before the wedding. What a jerk!
Lepas and keriskreations, you doggies are so cute. I just want to give the bulldog a big kiss.
