To be about to lose my temper with Bridezilla colleague?

[NotLikeTheRegulars]

The wedding isn’t even until NY! There is no conversation that can’t be directed to mention The Wedding. She’s even declining work and rearranging projects (which has a knock on effect on the rest of us) because ‘I’ll be sooooo stressed’ there are going to be ten people there and one of them is the photographer! Wtf is there to stress about?!

She doesn't get to work less because she's planning a wedding. We are moving house but I'm still doing my caseload. Tell her manager. It is up to the manager who does your colleague's work but be very clear that it is not you!

@thepeopleversuswork

I were you I'd point out that there's a well-documented inverse correlation between the amount of time and fuss spent on planning a wedding (and talking about it) and the length of the marriage.

always works like a charm for me

Haha ^this!

@thepeopleversuswork so true! One of my friends spent over £20k on a wedding and it lasted 6 months. The amount of stress it caused organising for the entire family - for it all to go tits up so soon afterwards.

I love my DH but we do cringe at the money we spent on ours and we even had a small ish budget wedding!

There is a nice side to the story as this lady and I are still friends and she has remarried to a much nicer fella

I hope wedding #2 was a bit more low key :)

Ellmau her second wedding was perfect just her family and close friends. When her second husband proposed they just wanted to go somewhere sunny with close family but his lot objected as they wanted the full nuptial mass and every Auntie/Uncle/cousin/friend invited over 100+ on his side only, but are traditional enough to maintain that it's at the expense of the father of the bride. When my friend refused it caused a lot of aggro with his family which took years to resolve. The young girls I work with now want to have a day that is 'instagrammable' (their words)

Every time she refuses to do work, loudly write it up on list, stick said list on clipboard and put it on the wall and invite everybody else to add to list when she refuses to do work.

She's a cheeky fecker and this wedding is just an excuse.

Take the wedding out of the equation, wound you put up with it?
