STORYTIME GRWM: THE WORST BRIDAL CLIENT EXPERIENCE

[@VanessaGyimah]

Hey loves! If you were me when you found out you couldn’t get on the flight what would you have done guys ?!

[@NaomiEsegine]

Vanessa Gyimah there’s really nothing anyone could do in that situation. I like how you handled the whole thing. We all learn everyday.

[@ShawtyShayShay]

Since she ruined your day I would’ve ruined hers lol

[@Misskwu]

I would’ve behaved the way you did honestly

[@tt7098]

You are a very calm and patient person, the OLD me would of snapped, and possibly whooped her ass ( the next day tho not on her wedding day) buttttt the NOW me would of tried to stay as calm as possible and remind myself there’s nothing I can do but wait till the next flight. Idk it’s kinda one of those, you gota actually go through it to say what you’d do kinda situation. But you acted like a classy boss and did it the right way.

[@TheSdcole60]

I would have bought a flight home on a different airline and had the bride pay me back. Or if it was within a reasonable driving distance I would have rented a car and drove home.😁

[@Acosya2]

In future, book the flight yourself and pass the expense to the bride. That way you have your flight and the bride understands that its apart of the service.

[@makeupbygloria]

Yup that’s how you do it

[@jessicamazeya3626]

What if she cancels and doesn't give your money back?

[@TheKhaoticKitty]

Rubymaz Jessica She should put it in the contract so she can hold them accountable

[@sweetpotato1367]

@@jessicamazeya3626 She could put it in the contract or if she has to fly, the deposit could be her flight to and from

Nicole Fairman that means nothing unless you want to spend the time and money to actually sue someone over the contract. It is better to collect an upfront non refundable deposit. For clients that require travel, the deposit should be more than enough to cover flight and hotel

[@elywn.]

Yeah, that girl lied to you. Who just buys another ticket if they cant find a confirmation email? Thats a big waste of money🙄

[@dmnagbe39]

Right! Ain’t nobody just buying a second ticket. 😑🙄

[@Nallisn]

Diem Nagbe it was a buddy pass

[@sylviacrafts6704]

That's just it, I think since it was a buddy flight in the first place she knew she couldn't get her on the plane that day so obviously she had to by her a real ticket like she should have in the first place, that's just messy and underhanded. Lying ass BRIDEZILLA🧟🦖🐉🐍🐍🐍

[@TrulyADETOLA]

I honestly have never heard of a buddy pass either! I just don't understand how any bride feels comfortable starting off their wedding/marriage doing another human so baaaad! God don't like ugly.

[@AlllSmiless]

Right. If I were that bride, I'd be very afraid. It's like she is putting a curse on herself 😬

[@kittykattastegood]

I love buddy passes lol. Yet for something like this it is not good.

[@JynxLxc]

It’s another way of flying stand by

[@paulamugabi7320]

Some don't care

[@ReeRee_Donita]

Exactly. Just inviting divorce into your life like this, anyway, God is alive sha

[@Nallisn]

If it was a buddy pass, the person doesnt pay for the ticket. Those are free tickets given to family and friends of pilots or other flight crew. I used to get them all the time when I was a secretary to an independent doctor. Her husband was a pilot for jet blue and she’d give me buddy passes to use for free. It was really awesome. So she didn’t pay for your ticket lol Edit-she was definitely lying about “buying” you the ticket. It was obviously given to her for free. That’s why she had no problem saying she was going to “buy a 2nd ticket”. She never bought the first or 2nd one, lol. It sounds like she was waiting for someone to give her a buddy pass

[@GAM1990]

I was sure she got it for free!

[@malycertified4921]

There not free anymore. They used to be.... but they are very discounted.

[@tarajaee6371]

Maly Certified no they are free as well. It depends on the bookings and class if they are discounted but most are free .

[@IamTracieLynn]

As a flight attendant for a major airline I can tell you....Buddy passes are no longer free, you pay the taxes and yield fare for that particular destination. Companion passes- free, dependent passes- free, buddy- not free...

[@christinevalentin6549]

And if she did pay anything, it was just the taxes

[@godwinna8]

She's lucky it wasn’t me I would've ruined her day lmaoo. I would've WIPED the Braidmaid's makeup off 🤣

[@rachelmonroe9575]

Exactly, people don’t like to waste money , she was cappin

[@banbonaful]

Exactly!!!!

[@nandimokonya2774]

I would’ve stayed quiet when I was there after she told me she wasn’t gonna compensate me. Went back home and surprised her and send a letter that I’m suing her

[@QueenDramaVevo]

Nandi Mokonya as you should.

[@envy1xc]

PERIOD,

[@diekoloreoluwaogundana2881]

Since we're talking "lawyers"

[@Ohemaa]

😂😂😂😂 “Let’s Move on” !! I don’t know what a buddy pass is either

[@VanessaGyimah]

Lmaooo yesssss I feel better now ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@reyannaarnae]

I would’ve sued for lost wages 🤷🏽‍♀️ she was wrong for that and also using people to talk to you she should’ve talked to you directly ... your voice is so satisfying 😩

[@potatowellcox8870]

It probably would cost more to sue than it would to compensate you.

[@dk73ije]

@@potatowellcox8870 Probably, but that girl (and now her new husband) need to learn that they can't try and swindle a business. It would be very easy to find out if she paid for the ticket when she said she did and prove she did no such thing. There is also a paper trail of emails and/or texts. Even if Vanessa never got the damages she would have won, that girls credit rating would tank (if it hadn't already).

[@AnaLopez-cc4nw]

In my country in this kind of process you can sue and if you win part of your sue can be that the other person los has to pay your legal expenses, so I would have totally sued her for everything. Like she totally did that cause she didn't cared about the MUA.

[@bridget2028]

Make sure in your writing contract. You book the flight and hotel and add that expense to the whole cost. In this way you are fully guaranteed that you r safe and returning home.

[@keijah010]

"i guess ill just take this L".....no ma'am! that's why they'll continue to screw people over. SMALL CLAIMS COURT! you dont owe her the courtesy of nit pursuing YOUR money. dont let ppl use you

[@mrsbreazy7413]

Exactly wtf I would’ve ruined her damn wedding tf

[@TaniasMakeover]

I just found out what a buddy pass is too😂😂. That was some hectic storytime

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Girl, as an MUA, I am LIVID while watching this. Wow and wow! This is the kids stuff I do not miss! Like, what?! She needs a bill for Sunday, yes!! Small claims court. I don’t have time! Wow! She’s lucky, you didn’t ask the MC for the mic so you could address her in front of her friends and family / your situation was HER fault! Or the fault of the planner. Wow!! I’m so ticked at this

[@VanessaGyimah]

Mena_Adubea omg I know right !!! That would have been so crazy 😂🤣😂🤣 I was being considerate paaa!!!! Chwwwwww!

[@Apryll.]

Once someone bought me a plane tix, for whatever reason my name was spelled wrong and i got the wrong confirmation number, do you know they were still able to find my tix at the airport desk, probably took a whole 30 extra secs to, that heffa aint book you nothing. She updated her buddy list and put you on after her people flew in.

[@Indiegirl007]

Who buys another flight if they can't find the confirmation info.......like. Who DOES that. That lady was lying through her lacefront. She just wanted to get her makeup done, the cheapest way possible. You were expendable to her.

[@macummings7818]

THROUGH the lace front girl 🙄🙄

[@noaneubia]

That girl is lying. She was just being cheap! If you lost the confirmation why wouldn’t you call the airline! Why would you book a whole other flight. I would have definitely took her to court.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

OMGGG she threatened lawyers?! I’m done with this. I canNOT

[@VanessaGyimah]

Mena_Adubea lmaooo the stress !!!!

[@ShawtyShayShay]

I’m a Flight Attendant and I don’t even give mine out because it’s such a headache! When you’re an employee you know what to expect but if you’re not used to traveling that way it’s tough! That’s absolutely terrible I’m sorry she did that to you!

[@paulamugabi7320]

I love you Gurl

[@joyjohn598]

Yes!!!!! Exactly!!! Love you Layefa

[@KaylaT.]

My problem is why couldn’t the bride speak to you directly? Like who are you? Everyone deserves respect and if you feel a certain way YOU should explain that not somebody else.

[@bunn228]

She clearly knew she wouldn't be able to keep her story straight and was asking around to get people to deal with her problem for her. It's so rude, it's the bride's mess she should clean it up and deal with it herself like an adult.

[@khulaniafrost8359]

I understand it was her wedding day. But do you know realize how many vendors receive final payment on the day of the wedding primarily at the reception? A lot! Getting a buddy pass has that warning of the flight being full and she should have prepared for that and prepared you for it. She was cutting corners at your expense. You handled things the correct way. Lesson learned.

[@akuamadzie]

I would’ve gone crazy. This is making me want to revise my terms and conditions.

You're voice is smooth as silk and so calming. I like how you were telling that stressful messed story but at the same time emanated chill vibes. I have such a huge respect for how you handled that situation. You're right: she should be glad she didn't do all that to another person or she'd be in deep trouble. I don't understand how people can do stuff like this and not have it weighing on their conscience. But it's aight...karma isn't far away for those people. Anyway, sounds like you already started receiving blessings afterwards. 💖

[@susankamene]

Am a make up artist as well based in Nairobi, Kenya. When booking wedding clients ask as many questions as you can especially your departure. Cz once their makeup is done and the whole entourage is making their way to the venue they care less about anyone else. 6 years in this business, I ask as many questions as I can. Also dont ever book another client especially if you had an out of town trip. Even if you are sure of your departure arrangements anything can happen. Cz lets say you had space in the flight going back then it happens there's a flight delay and next flight is following day the impact would have been the same. Sorry about your incident. The things make-up artists go through at times is so sickening

Bridal gigs are the worst. Especially when you get flown out. I'm from London, I did a wedding gig in Spain. Bride bought me a ticket that arrived 11pm the day before but "forgot" to book accommodation, even though she was contracted to provide accommodation. Then booked the flight back from an airport 5 hours drive away. And the flight had a 15 hour layover in Germany. When it should have been a 2.5 hour direct flight to London. On top of that I wasn't provided and food for the time I was there. It was a complete was of my time and energy. People are CRAZY.

Experiences like this are always lessons from which you can learn. I'm sorry it happened to you. I really am. I'm a home baker and I often make cakes for other people and while I don't yet have a horror story to share, I will say, although I am an amateur I move like a professional. I consult, I communicate, and I deliver. If a customer tells me they need the cake for 4 o'clock, it's ready hours before that. My name is all I have. I would like to believe that when people mention it, it's in a good way. You will never be able to control people and what they do, but I bet your name is well intact. The bridal party will never be able to say that they didn't look good.
