What's that old saying? No good deed goes unpunished. Or unappreciated, apparently. The bride took apart the bouquet I made for her, bought her own candy and remade it herself. I should have known. She was completely underwhelmed when I dropped it off yesterday. I got a deadpan, "Thanks. I like it." and that was it. Whatever. I don't know if I can bring myself to go to the reception tonight. It's just disappointing to spend a long time trying to do something nice and have it torn apart and replaced. As if I didn't have anything better to do than drive all over town and scour the internet for old fashioned lollipops. I'm done crying over it -- I did my best, which I think was darling and that's it. Now the dilemma: Do I take the cupcakes over for the other wedding tomorrow early enough that the other bride can change those OR do I take them over right at the last minute so she doesn't have a chance?? *sigh*
OK, I JUST HAVE TO ADD: We went to the reception, which was really cute and I was told that the bouquet I made got broken somehow. Which is why they bought new candy and remade the dang thing. And now I feel like a toad for jumping to conclusions. Oh, man. It looks like I'll be eating humble pie tonight instead of cupcakes.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe it I thought it was awesome! Definitely wait till the last minute tomorrow! hehehe
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteThe cupcake bride WILL be genuine grateful for them - she's a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThe lollipop bride is young - (even though they are the same age) ignore her! You are fantastic, fabulous and amazing. That bouquet was dah-ling. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
Besides, blessings still come from service that goes unappreciated. You put best into that - and that is the most humble of service. Nuf' said.
