Turtle bride
In her religion or culture or family (I don’t really know) turtles were a symbol of good luck, and mere weeks before the wedding she came up with the idea to have turtles at the reception.
How you ask?
She wanted live turtles walking around the reception hall with lit candles glued to their backs. Lit flaming candles.
She saw no issues with this plan.
We tried to explain that the turtles could get crushed or stepped on, that it was cruel to glue candles to their backs and most importantly that a lit candle at ground level could start a fire.
She threw a fit of epic proportions.
We finally came to a solution of adding turtle themed things to the table decorations.
Because that wasn’t good enough for our bridezilla, we teamed up with some local reptile wranglers to line the walls with giant aquariums that had live turtles swimming in them.
We had to have a staff for the turtles and extra insurance for the hall. But we pulled it off for the turtle bride.
