Mother in law is banned from the wedding as she tried to poison the groom

[Music] before i get into that i wanted to clear some things up about myself my friend in the catering company i started working at 13 for a friend of the family's restaurant as a dishwasher and groundskeeper my friend started working at 12 at his dad's catering company my friend and i met when he was hired at a restaurant i just started out as a prep cook six months before i was 16 and he was 20 at the time he coached me and grew me and eventually got me onto the line within a few months at 21 his father passed away unexpectedly and he left the restaurant to take over the family business asking me to come work for him from time to time his father's clients were all big old money and so my friend kept to that demographic at first which is why we have such a sordid collection of tales to tell i think that's enough background for now so back to what y'all really came for super cop and superhuman we start with the catering consultation the wedding planner had changed three times already before they even came to visit us and the appointment kept getting rescheduled we almost rejected the contract because it was becoming a waste of our time the day of the consultation came and they actually showed up both the mothers with the bride and groom in tow the wedding planner didn't show but we kept the consultation going and would demail all relevant paperwork later the mothers of the bride and groom were the best of friends and they were so excited they got to plan their kids wedding together and family and the future of family names preserved it was during this rant that my friend cut them off and spoke directly to the bride and groom friend i want to know what you two want what cuisine do you like what style of service would you like bride's mother bm they want a full service buffet with carving stations horse deveras and cocktail hour and the cake will be from this bakery friend i'm sorry ma'am i thought this consultation was for the bride and groom if you want a consultation for your own wedding you will have to book one with my assistant points to me the sacrificial lamb in these times bride's mother bm excuse me but i know more than these two kids do i planned my wedding myself you know groom's mother gm now bmil let's just sit with the assistant it is our kids day and they should be choosing what they like friend how about this you two ladies can sit with my assistant and give him all the details of what you are thinking and i will give the bride and groom a private tasting bmil fine but i better see every piece of paper before it's signed i take the ladies to another part of the office and listen to bm overtake everything occasionally pointing out that a handsome young man such as myself shouldn't disappoint my mother when it's her time to plan my wedding i just nod and smile and do my best to keep them busy while my friend gets the real story from the bride and groom back at the main consult friend so i can already tell there's some tension so let me assure you that my company has nothing but the best intentions to make your wedding day as grand as you envision you the bride and groom are our first priority groomed to his i told you they shouldn't have come my mom caves to her every whim and we will get railroaded bride to groom i know but i couldn't say no she says it's her god-given right to plan this and i don't know what else to do friend let me assure you that my assistant is merely hearing their suggestions this is the real consult but before we go further if we cater your wedding who will be signing and paying for our services groom us i won't have a dime of their money be involved with our day friend smiles perfect they proceed with the rest of the consultation going over menu options service styles table setups timetables and coordinating with the bakery the last thing they went over was allergies the groom has a very severe allergy to peanuts which has apparently been a problem with bmil she believes it's a mind over mata thing just keep eating them and you'll get over it eventually except the groom's allergy is basically touch nut full anaphylactic shock we jot down a huge note that peanuts will not be anywhere near this wedding before the consult wraps up my friend suggests putting passwords on the account you never know who might try to change something and the bride says no but before they leave the groom pulls my friend aside and says absolutely but please don't give it to bride after their appointment ended and the bride and groom left and the mills left i went straight to the liquor room and my friend and i compared notes as we suspected the bride and groom wanted something almost entirely different than the bmil wanted but since the bride and groom were paying and signing the contract we shredded bmil's plans the bride and groom opted for a plated dinner for 80 with an hour of horzo gerves and cocktail the cake would be delivered by the bakery and their staff would handle it all was relatively quiet with this contract until three weeks before the wedding when a six feet seven inches 260 pounds african-american man came into our office he said he was here about his cousin's wedding and gave the proper password my friend and i sat down with him and he introduced himself as the bride's cousin and he's worried about the wedding earlier that week the groom was admitted to the hospital after going into anaphylactic shock bm lied to the bride and groom and fed him a meal that at some point peanut oil was used he witnessed the whole thing and when he confronted his aunt bm she said it's a mind-over-matter thing he wanted us to be aware that bm and bf were uninvited and banned from the wedding bride's orders there was a lot of drama with the other vendors in general wedding planning and this was the final straw bouncer also wanted us to know that he is a cop and he'll be providing security at the wedding he brought three of his cop friends with him and left one in the kitchen to keep bm from sneaking in and poisoning any more food the day of the wedding was mostly drama-free until the reception started when bm and bf showed up with a gaggle of their friends and tried to force their way into the wedding bouncer took no [ __ ] my friend and i backed him up as best we could and they were rejected from the reception bm tried one final time as the reception ended and the wedding party filtered out she sat in her car until the bride and groom were visible then gunned her car at them bouncer rushed them out of the way and bm smashed her car into the reception hall's front door my friend and i witnessed the whole thing from the parking lot and rushed over to make sure the bride and groom was safe we gave our statements to police bm was arrested the couple were shaken but not harmed a few weeks after the wedding bouncer showed up to our office again he thanked us for everything we did to help his cousin enjoy her day he told us that the groom told him everything we did distracting bm and setting up passwords he was grateful for everything we did and gave us his card anytime we needed security he'd be sure to have our backs not long after this he was shot in the line of duty and took a leave of absence from the police force for a bit to clear his head having previous experience as a bartender we hired him on and he has been with us ever since he still works as a cop but only at a desk in the precinct and eventually he'd like to open his own bar bouncer has a heart of gold and the brawn of an ox and we are glad to call him part of our team the wrap up bm went to jail and was cut out of the bride and groom's life bf divorced her the happy couple just had a little bundle of joy a year ago and are asking us to cater the baptism gm was very apologetic for just going along with bm and was able to salvage the relationship with the couple oh and my friend and i were sued for damages slander and breaking contract by bm the case was laughed out of court this next tale is not exactly long because we only received the contract a month in advance and didn't have any interaction with this mill until the day of the family reunion it was explained to us that due to meddling by the husband's mother and family they had to cancel their contract with the other caterer and the immediate family of the husband were uninvited and told to stay away immediately we offered extra security on the account and we even had our superstar bouncer to back us up it was a really big party for over 800 guests minus the immediate family of the husband so a buffet and open bar were a must the family was very well off a mix of new and old money this contract was a slight blessing at the time even though most of our serving staff was either going back to school or busy with their main jobs this contract came up during a period my friend's company is usually on vacation luckily he was bored and decided to stay local and retool his menu and update his website and services being low on staff meant i had to scrounge up the best people i could find at my workplace and at other places i knew people the unfortunate part was that not all these people were 100 percent aware of some of our experiences and i wasn't trying to scare anyone away so we glossed over some things but made sure to hit home that if anything seems off they need to call myself or my friend over immediately and if deemed necessary super bouncer is here to help well it kind of worked until the husband's immediate family showed up and demanded entrance to the party they managed to con their way past a couple people and made it to where one of our longer-term service saw them and knew something was amiss she radioed myself and our super bouncer and we went to defuse the situation before it could blow up at first the mother was sweet and innocent sounding saying she was just so dismayed that her son uninvited her that she had to show up and make sure he wasn't being abused by his neglectful wife as i explained that we had explicit instructions she was not to be there she turned sour quickly calling me a pollock i'm polish and my last name is unmistakably identifying and demanding i'll let the husband and wife know they were here i told them i would deliver the message but would need them to step outside the party until the mata was cleared up she was miffed and the father was shushing her and saying that obviously there's some mistaken to let me clear it up so they follow myself and the bouncer out of the party when they are clear of the party and well down the block i informed them that the instructions to keep them out of the party stand and that they can either leave peacefully and we'll leave it at that or they can sort this situation with the police well they went mental on me for about 20 or so minutes screeching and shouting a crazed look in both their eyes the father claimed to be packing the mother told me what a piece of [ __ ] i was and again laying into me with pollock insults and even stooping to call me a hitler sympathizer who should be ashamed of my heritage i'm a second generation american who was raised by a loving mother and father and had the joy of knowing all four of my grandparents of mixed nationalities my paternal grandfather and his three brothers who moved here from poland at a very young age fought in wwii and despised what happened to their home country my grandfather and his brothers were not perfect men but they definitely weren't nazis or hitler sympathizers i simply repeated the instructions and turned heel from what my bouncer described later on the following happened sweet old mom and pop turned even more vile calling him a wren and the dad punched him square in the jaw meanwhile mom grabbed a long knitting needle from her bag and lunged at me super bouncer was only able to yell a quick syllable of my name before taking another punch and wrestling the father to the ground but it was enough for me to turn and avoid a more fatal stab i did get it in the shoulder and the needle did go slightly deep but i'm grateful it hid where it did i don't know if she was intending to kill me or just scare me but she kept trying to scratch at me and resorting to smacking me with her purse the backup security arrived and tackled her to the ground i just smiled at her and said better men have tried and failed and tried to walk away only to pass out a few steps out luckily none of the guests even knew about the incident until after the party we made sure to keep the fight decently away from the house and were able to lie to the guests saying the ambulance was for one of our staff who succumbed to heat stroke i was carted off to the hospital and was able to get back to the party in time to help clean up while supervised cleaning up i got a really nice thank you and get well card from the family and an apology from the husband for his parents violent behavior the mother was sentenced to pish evaluation and was given a light sentence of community service plus had to pay my medical expenses or face real jail time the father was never charged because he was an outstanding member of the community who made a small error in judgment so there you have it another well-off family of knox who tried to ruin a fun and eventful day i wish this played out better but i'm glad we were able to handle it away from the party it's truly amazing how easy it is to lead someone decently away if you let them ramble on about their [ __ ] but to anyone who wants to provide similar justice of their own at an event remember i get paid knowing things can get dicey you as the guests should never put yourselves in harm's way especially when narcs are involved the other catering company was dropped because the narc parents tried and succeeded in mucking with the reunions plans and there were even threats made against the husband and wife before they signed us on the mother apparently used corporal punishment on the husband and his siblings when they were young going as far as drawing blood several times this was not the first psycho meltdown she had either on with the show due to my new job i cannot be as active with the catering company when it comes to the main events but i spent the early part of the summer training one of the bartenders i've worked with for a long time to become the new me i'm actually quite proud of how she has grown into the role and believe that no matter what comes up she will handle it exceptionally well that being said no new toy is fun without a stress test of the highest caliber and i believe this upcoming wedding will prove that she's more than ready to fill my shoes it's a christmas wedding that happens the last saturday of the year and you can just hear the but final emily from goddamn pluto the day of the consultation jnmil phil bill 1 bill 2 civil bride groom and ale pilot of the catering headquarters before the meeting even started there was arguing and bickering between the future dylan jnmil the jnmil had apparently been insisting on making this wedding an entire family reunion but booked at the idea of future de inviting any of her extended family and friends it took a decent 20 minutes before we could finally get everyone separated and another 15 minutes of screeching from j and emil about how this whole wedding is tearing her family apart and they all need to shut up and let her handle everything bonus it was her demand the whole family be at this consultation so cue my demon in training she politely approaches jnmil and says the following you're absolutely right events like this can be stressful would you and everyone except the bride and groom like to come with me to discuss what you have in mind that got jmil gleaming like she just won the lottery and she trotted back to our office with company in tow after ardor was shut my buddy went to work hashing out who was really in charge of the wedding and if there was going to be any financial assistance from the in-laws unfortunately the just knows agreed to pay 25 of the contract the bride's family agreed to the other 25 and the bride and groom are paying the rest as far as my buddy is concerned the ball is in their court and the in-laws demands will be downplayed as minimally as possible the bride and groom are huge family-oriented individuals and are trying to explain away the in-laws behavior but i think they realized in their explanation that they needed to grow some spines overall the consultation with the bride and groom went okay hopefully they grow spines soon the demands from the in-laws are your basic mark like and just no crap they want some pretty expensive stuff and the guest list is already over 200 people of just their side of the family i was very proud of how my mini me handled the whole thing and i have every confidence she will be ready to handle more incidents in the future it's going to be a long wait till we have a conclusion to this tale but i'll try to keep y'all updated i'm about to hit my busy season at my new place so my time is going to be quite stretched [Music] you
