Thumbing her nose at me

I'm a good person.

Believe it or not, in the past I have been known to:

• bake cookies for charity
• move a friend out of a second story apartment, in 90 degree heat, while under the threat of being beat down by the neighbor.  I even went back in to retrieve a framed picture of the Lord's Last Supper
• buy a Happy Meal for a homeless kid
• give the local little person a ride home, even though I was deathly ill, waiting to get my prescription filled, and tired of being called "Faron's wife"
• travel 80 miles at the crack of down to pick up a friend who I had lost the night before, from some scary house near Lyn-Lake (hello, Ani)

So, imagine my shock, when over the holiday weekend, I received this message:

no longer an option

I hate to do this in an email but I feel it's only fair that I inform you that we will no longer be needing your services in helping plan our wedding. It's nothing personal. Well actually it is. So you should probably take it that way. We're just afraid that you'll incorporate a bit too much origami. And that's not really the look we're going for. 

All the best, Lauren

Apparently I have been replaced with some "event coordinator" with credentials detailing her as such.  My quasi-wedding planning just wasn't enough for our bride.

I just want to say that origami is very cutting edge and would have been original and fun.  And if you see a Tom Thumb mini donut wagon at the reception, Lauren's new event guru stole the idea from me.
