They Know All of Your Business, and More Secrets Wedding Planners Keep

Weddings are such a magical time for most people who are involved, and I’ve got to think that wedding planners do what they do because they love love, and there will always be people getting married.

If you’ve seen the movie The Wedding Planner (you have, right?), then you probably suspect that part of the job is “handling” tough members of the wedding party in order to help that big day go exactly right.

They’ve got more secrets than that, though, so read on to find out what they are!

9. The job is a minefield of divas.

It’s not just the bride, either. Guests can come with odd requests, like needing a carseat for the bus ride to the reception, or the more general overbearing mother-in-law or a band who thinks they’re some kind of rock stars.

Whatever it takes to make the day all about the happy couple is what they do.

8. They don’t get to enjoy the party.

If you think their “reward” for getting through the ceremony and the beginning of the reception is to kick off their shoes and dance with everyone else, you’re wrong.

They’re on high alert, watching for potential trouble until the cleanup crew arrives.

7. Bustles and sparklers are the worst part of their day.

There are plenty of things that can blow up someone’s wedding day, but sparklers can actually, you know, blow up.

And wedding planners hand hundreds of them to drunk party guess for a big sendoff!

The other thing is the bustle – the wedding planner has the most experience with wedding dresses, and so they’re often called on to pin up the dress. Gulp!

6. Pinterest is their WebMD.

If you tell your wedding planner that you’ve been working on a Pinterest inspo board for your wedding for half of your life, they’re going to cringe.

Some even charge a “pain in the a$s fee” if you want to DIY anything you’ve pinned.

5. Groomsmen can be ugh.

There’s booze and there are dudebros for days – it shouldn’t surprise anyone that wedding planners deal with getting hit on by groomsmen on a regular basis.

4. Bridesmaids are a pain in their butt.

Bridesmaids are jealous, or uninterested, or they drink too much or sneak off with a groomsmen…wedding planner spend a good portion of women’s big days tracking down the bridesmaids and shoving them back into line.

3. You can’t haggle them down.

If you think they’re getting a great deal because they get to eat your cake and drink some champagne, think again.

They spend a LOT of hours planning behind a desk, and it’s not something they do “just for fun.”

It’s a job, pay their fee.

2. They know the bride and groom’s secrets.

Image Credit: Pexels

If the bride is secretly pregnant, the planner gets them special drinks. If someone is sick, they won’t tell.

It’s none of their business, but they might need to be informed to keep the day running as smoothly as possible.

1. And a few more, to boot.

Image Credit: Pexels

If anyone in the wedding party is hooking up, if the parents are going through a rocky divorce, if someone has a drinking problem – they see it all.

I don’t think this is the job for me, but it sure is interesting!

A Student Humiliated Their Toxic Teacher in Epic Fashion

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but some situations call for desperate measures.

This student in particular had their hands full with an especially toxic teacher.

We’ve all had at least one mentor who totally took advantage of their position of power… so, those of us who haven’t gotten that closure can live vicariously through this student’s epic payback.

Image Credit: Reddit

We start off with a classic story of favoritism and bias. Obviously, Cathy was the teacher’s pet of the entire school, while this student unfortunately sat at the bottom of the social ladder.

Image Credit: Reddit

What the central protagonist of our story here does seems innocuous enough, but to a mega-strict Catholic school where they’re already an easy target, they might as well have committed a cardinal sin.

Image Credit: Reddit

Now, that treatment is just pure evil. Luckily, this student had the perfect plan in mind to exact sweet revenge.

Image Credit: Reddit

You see where they’re going with this? But wait, there’s more.

Image Credit: Reddit

But sometimes, winning isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need a demolition job.

Image Credit: Reddit

I love how OP is really building up the tension here. Imagine the staggering number of books they’d read up to that point.

Image Credit: Reddit

Get ready to really embark on the hero’s journey here.

Image Credit: Reddit

This image alone solidifies this story as the ultimate tale of the underdog.

Image Credit: Reddit

Now that’s what I call dedication. Cathy better be shaking in her boots.

Image Credit: Reddit

This kid was a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode. Those condescending Catholic school teachers really unleashed an absolute beast.

Image Credit: Reddit

Sorry, Cathy and Mrs. Smith – you got totally decimated by the dark horse of the grade.

Image Credit: Reddit

Well, that truly scratched a bad vengeful itch that I’ve been harboring since the fifth grade. It’s great to see that this student actually managed to wreak havoc on the system that wronged them.

There’s a reason that there is an entire subreddit dedicated to stories that are unexpectedly wholesome, and I think it’s that in the dirty swamp of the internet, people enjoy finding gems once in a while.

I mean sure, we all love a terrible story as much as the next person – it makes us feel better about our own lives, after all – but you can’t eat that as a steady diet.

12. You are now, I guess.

I doubt anyone will complain.

10. Well that’s amazing.

Look at that smile!

9. One word can say so much.

It can give someone hope.

There’s a student that’s a selective mute. She apparently stopped talking generally at the age of 4 due to trauma. Been working with her for a year and usually she just waves but today she said good morning to me

7 years ago I worked at a small company of about 15 people. I sent an email to all my co-workers one Friday, inviting them on a weekend hike. Only one person came, a guy from the web dev team that I'd hardley spoken to.

Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. We're going hiking.

And people in general.

True love from UnexpectedlyWholesome

1. And the internet swooned.

There was nothing left to do.

I will no longer be tweeting about cute bakery girl.

After an emotional discussion we have both come to the decision that it's no longer appropriate.

Instead She will now be referred to as her new title, Cute Bakery Girlfriend.

Increase Your Health and Happiness With Biophilic Design

Do you ever wonder why people buy fresh cut flowers for their home? Have you noticed how cultivating potted plants has boomed in popularity since the start of the pandemic?

Interacting with nature makes us happier and healthier. But many of us spend the majority of our lives indoors, so it only makes sense that we would bring nature in along with us.

There’s a word for design dedicated to this practice. No, we’re not talking feng shui, we’re talking biophilic design.

Image Credit: iStock

The concept of biophilic design was introduced by E.O. Wilson, a renowned biologist and professor at Harvard, in his 1984 book Biophilia.

Biophilia means “love of life.”

Living Future describes biophilic design as “the practice of connecting people and nature within our built environments and communities.”

Image Credit: iStock

Constructing our homes and workspaces in a way that incorporates access to sunlight, plants, and views of the natural world isn’t just aesthetically pleasing. It’s better for our overall physical, emotional and mental well-being.

Studies show that interacting with nature is beneficial for human health, whether you’re taking a walk in the woods or feeding birds.

Image Credit: iStock

According to Terrapin Bright Green, by bringing nature into your home or work space, biophilic design can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance mood and creativity.

Healthier employees are happier employees, and happier employees are productive employees.

Image Credit: iStock

Biophilic design can also be incorporated at home.

One crucial element is sunlight. If you have windows in the home, open the blinds and pull back the curtains to let the sunshine in!

Remember to keep them clean and clear of obstructions.

Image Credit: iStock

Next, add some greenery: potted plants, hanging plants, herb gardens, the more the better. Fresh cut flowers work as well, and come with the added bonus of a pleasant aroma.

You can also incorporate Earth tones and patterns into your interior design, or hanging pictures of natural landscapes on the wall if you don’t have access to natural views.

Image Credit: iStock

You’d be surprised how the simple action of incorporating the elements of nature into your home or workplace can increase your quality of life.

Do you practice biophilic design? Let us know how in the comments!
