After confirming her Saturday, 11 am, appointment for the 3rd time ... (and 3 "let me call you back" phone calls to get it scheduled in the first place)
Her: Okay, what time do you want me to call you that day? is 9 AM good?
Me: Why? Why? Why do you need to call me again?
Her: Just to confirm everything, again, you know that you’re there and everything.
Me: There’s no need to confirm, again, it’s in my calendar.
Me: And, I can promise you I will not be sitting in my office at 9 AM on a Saturday
** NOW, THE KICKER - I'D LIKE TO NOTE - that they showed up 15 minutes late - with 5 guests instead of the 4 I said they could have ... and, had 4+ more guests arrive as I finished up the ceremony who were jumping up and down outside and banging on the door to get in.
So much for all those "just confirming the details" calls.

28 day program
Never
a dull moment in this office. Tired of being stood up for weddings, I
called to confirm one scheduled for a Saturday (since the bride's friend booked it about 6 months ago and I hadn't heard anything since). I called the friend of the bride
who "coordinated" the day/time with me - who "had to call me back
because she thought the bride had called and they changed the date?"
Three hours later, the friend calls back with this nugget ... "OK, we don't think his Probation Officer is going to let him out of his 28 day program. He got locked up again and instead of coming straight home, they put him in a 28 day program. She's trying to get him released for a day so we can do this, but now she's thinking maybe <and she suggests a date within that 28 day period>? Maybe the PO will let him out that day, to get married."
Well, (a) he sounds like a catch (which I clearly kept to myself) and (b) it was this moment I chose to suggest, perhaps, they just pick a day after the 28 day program was completed ... so he didn't have to return to the program on his wedding night ...
Another in a long line of reasons I'm still single ... "catches" like this dude are apparently all already engaged ...
