Dear Abby: Bride-to-be upset when ex gets job at wedding venue
Bride-to-be upset when ex gets job at wedding venue
After months of meetings and negotiations with the woman who manages the facility, I was shocked to receive a text from my last ex-boyfriend informing me that he is the new general manager of the venue, and will be my point person of contact from now on.
How do I express this to the staff I worked with until this point so that I won’t sound bitter or petty? I know people can’t steal our happiness unless we let them, but he was not part of the equation when we chose this location, and we can’t move our nuptials to avoid him.
If you don’t have one, you and your fiance — or your maid of honor — should contact your ex and inform him that you both prefer he have no part in planning the wedding and you would prefer he remain out of sight when it occurs.
If he gives you any trouble, contact the owner of the facility, explain your predicament and ask that person to intervene.
Dear Mary Ellen:
Because of the seriousness of your illness, your doctor/oncologist should be told about this right away.
