Clear communication and defined roles can also help mitigate potential issues. In situations where stress becomes overwhelming, prioritizing one's well-being is essential.

Knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise can make all the difference. Ultimately, maintaining professionalism and finding solutions that work for everyone can help navigate even the most challenging situations.

By being prepared and flexible, vendors can minimize stress and ensure a successful outcome. The OP of today's story is caught in the middle of a wedding drama, navigating the demands of a bride, the groom and his mother.
