Should I take a $14k client booking that lands the SAME week as my own wedding??
ok so a past bride referred me to her cousin who wants a full Tuscany destination wedding planned and she is offering me $14,000 flat which is basically our whole honeymoon budget in one job ๐ญโจ the CATCH is her date is Oct 11th and my wedding to Marco (32M) is Oct 14th, so id be finishing someone elses wedding on another CONTINENT three days before mine. im 29F and ive built my business on being the planner who never drops a ball, so professionally this is huge, shes already said she doesnt care if i delegate some site visits to my assistant. but Marco is NOT happy, hes like are you seriously going to be jet lagged doing seating charts for strangers days before our own vows?? and honestly i dont totally disagree with him lol. part of me feels like i can handle chaos, ive planned through worse. but part of me is scared ill resent it later or be a zombie walking down the aisle. my mom says take the money, my maid of honor says are you INSANE. i keep going back and forth every single hour ๐
What People Are Saying
girl your WEDDING is not a task on the to do list! protect your energy, protect your VOWS, skip it and glow instead โจ๐ช
nothing says til death do us part like landing three days after a Tuscany chaos jet lag (romantic!). skip it.
i watch people run themselves into the ground for other people's chaos for a living. don't be a zombie at your own vows. skip it.
baby no no no, y'all three days before your OWN wedding?? Marco is right, take a breath and skip it, the money will come back around โค๏ธ
girl the hustle in me says TAKE THE MONEY ๐ฎ but the bride in me says your own wedding only happens once, no reschedule on that one
lowkey 14k is tempting but ngl ur fiance already said no and hes RIGHT ๐ skip it, honeymoon on ur own terms
you dont run yourself ragged right before something that matters. skip it. the bees dont care about your business either way but you will care about being exhausted at your own wedding
girl NO. i get the hustle but your wedding only happens once, the money will come again ๐ฎ skip it and be present for YOUR day
lowkey if marco already said something id skip it ngl, resentment is not the vibe u want walking down the aisle ๐
girl that money could fund your honeymoon AND then some but your wedding only happens once, mija ๐ฎ skip it and enjoy YOUR day
jet lagged seating charts three days before your own vows? that's not a career move that's a sitcom pilot (skip it)
ahh Tuscany sounds AMAZING but girl your wedding only happens once!! take the honeymoon energy and save it for YOU โจ
planning strangers' seating charts 3 days before your own vows? that's not multitasking that's a recipe for marital disaster brewing ๐บ skip it!
babe SKIP IT!! no amount of money is worth being a jet lagged zombie at your OWN wedding!! Marco is right on this one ๐ ๐ฅ
is it petty to clock out the second my shift ends even if someone's mid browse
true crime podcasts on the night shift... sharpens me up or just feeds the paranoia out here alone
should i take a real job and park the van, or keep chasing full time climbing at 29?
Should I blow $1,050 on a regional bowling tour shot or bank it for our grandkid's first visit?
@baileyf_grows
money grows back... memories of being a zombie at your own wedding don't ๐ skip it, let this one go
