A bride had arranged for her cake-cutting photos at an outdoor fireplace she'd paid for, but the wedding planner moved it indoors to a plain wall. She stayed quiet to avoid embarrassment in front of guests and now regrets not speaking up about what she'd planned.
After dinner, we kind of got taken over to do the cake cutting. And I had made it very clear, like, pre-wedding that I wanted to do the cake cutting outside in front of this fireplace that I had paid all this money to have all these flowers around the fireplace to have like a beautiful backdrop for the cake cutting photos. Post-dinner, when they brought us over, the cake was just inside against a wall. And I was pretty confused because I had, you know, said like, "Oh, we're doing the cake cutting outside." And I had had a whole conversation with the coordinator about it. And maybe with the photographer, I think I had talked to the photographer about it too. But when they just ushered me over to the inside wall instead of like the outdoor fireplace flower area, I was just like, okay, I'm gonna go with the flow. I have everyone in the entire wedding staring at me in that moment, and I felt like it would be kind of awkward to be like, oh no, like, stop production, like, we're moving it outside. Like I said, like, I was just too embarrassed to stick up for myself. I don't know, I was like trying to be so happy and always smiling and just like whatever. So I didn't say anything and we took a couple pictures in front of this plain wall instead of the fireplace and then, you know, went outside for dancing and then immediately after I was like, what did I— what did I do? Like I think that was pretty upsetting and I regret that.
