So lawyer here and I’m genuinely confused by the Mother’s behavior. Her and her family should understand how contracts work and that Miranda seems to have misappropriated funds. Allegedly. Also, attorneys would usually be the most meticulous at looking at itemized receipts and contractual terms. Just weird.
Mom seems like a hinky lawyer who is using her position to intimidate & bully the vendors. Calling herself “prominent” is a big 🚩. Undoubtedly the family realizes that it’s much easier to get money from the ethical businesses than from the criminal scammer. Hard to feel any sympathy for the family.
It’s giving me “The coordinator ‘Miranda’ didn’t actually charge them that much and this is just an elaborate way to use a scapegoat method done by the whole family to scam/steal money from the baker”
But I could be misplaced in that judgement or could be forgetting details that would make that not a possibility?
Plot twist! It was Jeanette Braun and her family as the client 🤣😂
‘She and her family should…’ not her and her, etc. say it with out the ‘her family.’ Your sentence would then be ‘her should understand…’
✌️
@@justkiddin84 "her should understand" isn't grammatically correct,
Theory: The coordinator is a family acquaintance/friend/daughter of business partner (pick any vague family relationship). There is NO CONTRACT between the family and this coordinator. That money is in the wind and now they are trying to bully vendors to pay them so they can recoup something for this scam. As "Lawyers" they think that they can scare these independent business owners into compliance. SMH.
yes!! I agree!! that is precisely what this sounds like, & I feel so bad for the vendors caught in the crossfire.
I came looking for this comment. You are spot on.
I had this same thought.
Yes! That was my exact thought.
Yeah they messed up and they want to be able to say “yeah but we recovered 5000 by robbing vendors”
So a family of lawyers basically got scammed out of a few grands, and instead of taking it up with the person they had a contract with, they decided to harass the cake vendor?
I'd bet they're close with the coordinator (personally). Because of that they didn't create a contract with her and are out all that money. Now they're trying to get money out of people they did have contracts with 😅😂
Yes, that's exactly what is happening here.
@@frankiedankymemes they technically don't even have contracts with the vendors though. The contracts are with "Miranda" as she was the one parading around as the bride ( I wanna know if she wore a wedding dress to the actual bride's wedding because it sure as hell felt like she was planning her own wedding). So even if they legally try to do something it wouldn't work because they had no contract.
Yeah I had sympathy in the first half
The family is definitely displacing the blame here. They got scammed by the coordinator and need to focus on that. Melina also needs to sue as well for the theft of her tip
I don't work in a court or anything but I do know it's not cheap. The stolen $500 may not be worth it...?
Small claims court usually is quite affordable, that’s where you go over 500$
It’s crazy to be asking the baker who had her tip stolen to then refund the amount of the tip too. Like???
Sunrise suggested that the coordinator could be a family friend or acquaintance that the family doesn’t want to confront so they’re instead trying to recoup sone money by bullying a vendor
@@contortionyx eh, the extra 5k probably will be, and that's assuming "miranda" didn't inflate charges on all other things she co-ordinated!
@@bunnio5451That would actually make a lot of sense, because unless Miranda gave fake numbers and emails, surely the family can reach out to her to sort this out.
But if it's a family friend or acquaintance, likely some bitty that the mother of the bride knows, they don't want to rock the boat with such a person.
The only reason I can think of why they didn't go after Miranda is because she might be close to the family in some way. Either a friend or family member or something like that because there is literally no logical reason to go after the vendors when the coordinator is the one who scammed you
Either way going after the vendor is just stupid. If they're lawyers..I feel bad for their clients
Hardly a friend taking advantage like that!
that was my thought too, it feels like theyre protecting her and making excuses for her
Or there’s an iron clad contract they can’t break that was signed with the coordinator so they thought they might recoup some money from the vendors.
Or they are still being lied to by this Miranda chump, and she has made up some bs story still putting the blame on the vendors. Seems to be working so far….
Something tells me that Miranda is closer to the family than any of us are aware of, and they aren't going to take it up further because of that, but they want money back so they want to harass this poor lady instead or this is a scheme to try tricking the vendors in paying money that they never received in the 1st place in hopes that mentioning that they got lawyers will scare them enough to cough up the money.
Either way, if they keep messaging her I would start talking to an attorney.
100% Like thats the only way that this makes sense
I think if they planned this from the start and harass more vendors, they probably are planning to get all their money for the wedding back
The family strong-arming the vendors to refund $500 is ridiculous when they should be solely going after "Miranda" for the missing money. Sounds like Miranda did it this way so any money she "scammed" from the family she could claim was her coordinator fee.
I hope they sue the fuck out of Miranda. The emails might be just to get details in writing for the case.
unless they are making it up to get a refund
They asked for $500, they’re looking to punish the vendors as well
why? if they signed a contract and language for that was in the contract, then they don't have a case
@@kellywaters643contracts aren't magic, if someone was charging far more than is considered reasonable they absolutely can still be sued in a lot of areas.
And a contract can't say things that are illegal. Like if the mother specified that 500 dollars was to go to tipping someone her contact can't say "I get all everyone else's tips". I mean, it can, but it isn't legal.
@@kellywaters643 its for the thousands of dollars she stole from them
Lol I don't feel bad for the family at all. Going after the vendor when the coordinator is the one who charged the ridiculous amount makes NO SENSE, either this story is fake, or these people are horrible lawyers. Not to mention them paying $7500 for ANY cake lol like what dessert would they have been happy with for that amount?
I mean, if you search "biggest wedding cake" in ecosia, you'll find several cakes that are at least ten foot tall and absolutely gigantic. Seems ostentatious and impractical to me, but certainly worth 7 grand
She says desserts plural so she was most likely providing more than just a cake. You'd be shocked how much bakeries charge for cakes though. There's a youtuber called the icing artist who orders cakes from bakeries to compare them. She regularly calls $500 8-inch cakes cheap. That's without the instant wedding upcharge too. I could definitely see the dessert cost getting out of hand fast, especially if you just give the wedding planner free reign with an unlimited budget which seems to be what they did.
@@cream476you’re right, it wasn’t a single wedding cake. She did a full dessert table with individual desserts. I assume that means multiple flavors of cupcakes, cookies, chocolates, etc
Same. Everyone commenting how the family got scammed and how they feel bad for them. I have no sympathy for bullies. They're trying to bully the baker, and probably the other vendors as well, into giving them a refund for a tip they likely never received. Either the family got scammed and is now trying to force the vendors to make up for it, or are trying to scam the vendors themselves. IF they're lawyers, they know good and well they can't hold any of the vendors responsible.
Also seems like they just gave the coordinator a blank check without any oversight what so ever (like invoices etc)
I almost watched someone else's video on this and I was like "nah I'm giving Markie his tik tok drama bag!" 😂
I just did the exact same thing 😂
That's so funny! I'm the same way! Haahaha
I just did that too 😂😂😂
I literally saw a short video on this earlier and went to check if Markie had covered it yet lol. I knew he’d come through for us 🙌
I listened to a video about it yesterday but still have to hear it from Markie and his views!
Miranda HAS to be a family friend
So If I asked my friend to pick me up something at Walmart, and they lie and tell me it was more than it was to pocket the rest, I should...be mad at Walmart?
According to the brides family yes😂
That's not at all the same.
More like, if you hired a general contractor to build a house, and they hired a subcontractor. If the sub messes up, you go after the GC.
Analogies work better when they aren't apples to oranges comparisons, bud.
@@SkunkApe407I disagree. The analogy worked quite well.
@@luv4tajhanb no, it didn't. Walmart is not under contract, the vendor is. You'd understand if you knew anything about contract law.
@@SkunkApe407 They were making a joke. In their analogy, obviously you would be mad at their friend for lying about the price, not walmart. We're making fun of the family for being mad at 'walmart', or in yours, the subcontractor. Honestly, they are the same analogies in this case.
the family of lawyers bullying the vendors for refunds instead of the scammy coordinator is CRAZY
The family sounds annoying as hell.. I hope Melina stands her ground because Id like to think that the court would be on her side
Miranda clearly scammed them and i wouldn't be surprised if the photo that was handed to the brides mother was a last petty ' f you' kind of thing.. Wouldn't be surprised if Miranda has legged it and they can't contact her anymore
Then why would she show up for the last hour?
I guess maybe just to see what She’d done? But if that were the case may as well give them a Walmart cake
I wish, when Malina realized what was up, she'd told the MoB where to go, what to do when she got there, and to do the same to the animal she arrived on.
This is ridiculous. If this went to court, the email with them admitting that Miranda was the one overcharging would already cause the case to be thrown out.
If they are lawyers, you’d think they know that
The whole point of hiring a wedding coordinator, is that the bride doesnt have to do much. if anything. So the coordinator is supposed to relay any messages and take care of all the fine details for the bride. This is a contract between the coord on behalf of the bride and the baker. if the coordinator of the wedding messes the wedding plans up. The bride needs to take it up with the coordinator. because a wedding coordinator is not cheap.
Not 5k plus the 500.00 tip is wrong. From one vendor.
@@justkiddin84 the coordinator needs to be sued
The coordinator uploaded a picture of her and her significant other. Shouldn’t she have uploaded a picture of the Bride and Groom? And, to triple the price is criminal! The coordinator also kept the tip! No, just no, that is wrong.
This entire thing sounds like a coordinated money scam. I can’t think of a single person who wouldn’t be going after Miranda and not the vendors, unless of course none of it’s true and they’re trying to guilt vendors into refunds.
I think it's just a case of humiliation. If they go after Miranda, they're admitting they were tricked.
That or the coordinator is in their other ears telling them the opposite and has fake receipts so it seems believable to them.
Why tf would the cake decorator/desert table need to uhm stand there? To serve people 👀👀 that's weird, that's suspicious!!!
I work in events and I've never had a baker stay beyond arranging their desserts. Sometimes I have to refrigerate until the event starts, so sometimes not even that long
@@Dstergurl09 Same. I worked doing chair covers for 3 years and in all that time I saw about 4 brides. All of the hired services (cakes, photo booths, flowers) turn up, leave their stuff and go. Sometimes hours or even the day before the wedding. If we're still there when the bride arrives something has gone wrong!
Have you ever been to a wedding or large event before? Tf
I've done some catering and have been paid to offer service as well as the food. I don't usually mind, cause most people tip for that on top of the fee. It is a little weird to keep the baker imo because what she's going to do if something isn't right at that point?
You've never used a caterer before, have you? 😂
It’s suspicious how they have seemingly skipped over and avoided dealing with this “Miranda” coordinator, and keep involving the baker while asking for a refund.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this whole family (at least the mother of the bride, the bride, and maybe the husband?) set this up in a way to use a “scapegoat method” in order to scam the baker into believing they (the family) were scammed by a coordinator.
Its hard to believe this family are part of "prestigious lawyers" because why tf would they threaten the baker who had nothing to do with the wedding planning?
Right?! They don’t sound like good lawyers if they can’t understand how a contract works.
The audacity to use a service then ask for a “good faith refund”. I hope they get laughed out of court. If they had a problem with the price they should have said something BEFORE THE DAY OF THE WEDDING. Disgusting.
They probably asked for something worth 7000 dollars
Nah the family is scammers 100% especially with not hearing from the wedding planner. Have they provided proof of what they allegedly got charged? Like I don’t even think Miranda was a real person and not just someone that the brides family made up and just had a friend do the picture and pick up. It just seems to not make sense.
If Melinda's contract is with Miranda, then the Mother has no legal relationship with Melinda. In most of the US, the mother would have no legal standing to sue Melinda (called "privity of contract").
An actual lawyer would know this, and would know that it's unethical and borderline criminal to misrepresent the law for personal benefit.
It's the exact same thing with hiring a general contractor, who then hires a subcontractor. If the sub messes up, you sue the GC, and they sue the sub. While the mother technically does hold a contract with the sub(vendor), her agreement was with the GC(coordinator), meaning her avenue for recourse is with the primary contract holder. Contract law is convoluted as heck.
I wouldn't be surprised if the coordinator was a friend of the mother and they were trying to scam Melina.
Designer here. I did floral and wedding design for many years. When you set everything up, tables set, decor completed, miscellaneous decorations…you get your approvals and your check and you motor. There is no hanging about “covering the event” for the coordinator. This entire story is baffling no to me.
Did the attorney MOB l/FOB even look at the contract until the shindig was over? Why go after the people who did their contractual work. For the MOB to say everything was delicious but we need a refund because we got taken by a sheister? Baffling.
Floral design isn't the same as catering, hun. We don't need a florist walking around, showing off the flowers. You do, however, want a food service safety trained individual serving food. It isn't "baffling" if you actually think about what is going on.
@@SkunkApe407 yes, catering should be there for as long as they're needed, but it is not normal for a wedding coordinator to pawn off their responsibilities to the vendors day-of. Even if Miranda herself couldn't be there, she should have hired someone to take her place and the primary point of contact for the day. One of the key responsibilities of an events coordinator is to be there if something goes wrong with the vendors. The family hired her so that they wouldn't have to interface directly with vendors and potentially put out fires day-of!
@@lilymulligan8180 I never said it was normal for a coordinator to pawn her duties off to another. Nothing I said even implies such a thing. You're arguing points that we're never made.
If the parents were lawyers, they would know that they would handle this with the wedding planner.
Not if the wedding planning was family or a close friend, who they wanted to protect.
@@AbsoluteLeeNot the thing is, melinda's contract is with miranda. even if miranda is family, the mother has 0 legal standing to sue the vendors. legit the ONLY way for them to get the money is fear mongering or suing miranda. they have chosen the fear mongering, wich if taken to court could affect their jobs as a lawyer.... if they ARE lawyers.
I don't know if I'm too distrustful but with the way the mother keeps bringing Malina into this makes me think if they're actually trying to scam her by getting her to give them a 500 dollar refund etc. Cause if not, why wouldn't they go after Miranda who is clearly the one in the wrong and not Malina. It's just bizarre.
I also think it's possible that maybe the mother realized it was going to be hard to get anything out of Miranda because they signed a contract agreeing to her prices/services so they're now trying to go after the individual vendors in hopes of being able to wrangle some money out of them.
I get the vibe that “Miranda” pocketed the extra and got the “getaway” gift made for her because she HERSELF will be getting married soon and wanted an easy way out?
They were clearly scammed by the coordinator. That being said, their subsequent behavior leaves me feeling very little sympathy for them.
If there is a TikTok category for it....there is drama for it.
When are we going to get gardening/plant tiktok drama, I've got a bingo card to fill
It's a bit like Rule 34 but with less Ps & Vs 🙃
Mother sounds like she has no sense of logic. Miranda CLEARLY swindled them, HOW DARE she try to get a refund from the vendors when the coordinator is so clearly the one in the wrong.
While I feel bad that the family got scammed they are way out of line getting mad at the vendors when they've admitted Miranda is in the wrong.
Oh my word as a wedding photographer for 10 years I never heard such ridiculousness the poor baker did her job got her pay fulfilled her contract and the unscrupulous coordinator gets away with grossly overcharging and fobbing off her duties 😱people like ‘Miranda’ are who give wedding vendors a bad name most are out doing the best they can at fair prices for their work and skills and she’s just pretending to get married and getting paid for it😮mob definitely shouldn’t have even contacted the baker other than to request in writing what she charged so she had proof to show the gross overcharge when she takes the coordinator to court!
Almost sounds like the family is embarrassed and instead of handling it by going to the coordinator (like they should), they're trying to soothe their egos by telling themselves it wasn't the person *they* trusted, it was the people the *coordinator* trusted that messed up.
Obviously the coordinator is up to no good, but this behaviour is so bizarre on the family’s part. wedding fantasies have lost the plot. I can’t fathom paying someone that much money to coordinate the equivalent of a freaking awards show, and then blaming anyone else but the coordinator when I get swindled 😭
As a previous owner of a Wedding Planning + Design Firm…..She is ruined……This is business suicide. It sounds like the coordinator covered herself with a RIDICULOUS contract and the only thing the family can do is go after who else is involved, aka, individual vendors. Disgusting behavior.
The cake people never stay. They set up the cake and go presumably to set up other cakes 😮
Yea once the cake is delivered and set up, what more are they obligated to do?
@@alyssabrown-carleton6173it's food service. Many bakers will stay to cut and serve the cake, just as any other caterer offers dinner service options. There's actually good reason to have an individual on hand, who is food service safety certified, to serve food to dozens, or even hundreds of people. When a baker has a big cake, like a wedding cake, they generally don't just toss it at the bride and haul ass. If you're paying hundreds or thousands for a cake, you want the baker there to prep, present, cut, and serve that cake.
@SkunkApe407 never heard of the baker doing that....only someone from the catering company. Regardless, even if that was something Miranda told the family, it doesn't mean it was relayed to the bakery or put in the contract. What I find most strange tis that the coordinator wasnt onsite the entire time!
@@tiredtears4177 you're absolutely correct. Any contractor, regardless of industry, should be on-site, or have a proxy there, to oversee the operation.
Sounds fishy to me.
Either the "coordinator" is scamming or the supposed family of "lawyers" are trying to scam the companies they hired.
Which ngl would be my first thought and is my first thought upon hearing about this.
Especially with the coordinator using "her information" and "pretending to be the bride" and even doiing the cake tastings instead of the real bride.
O and then not being there or staying there through the whole entire thing until its done and everyone is on there way and people are cleaning or finishing cleaning up.
If things are the way Malina describes them, the family should stop wasting time and go to the police real quick. A scam that big and obvious I wouldn't be surprised if Miranda had left the state already. The venue and the normal food would have been much more expensive so she probably felt like she could get away with overcharging even more.
I think that the MOB is in cohoots with the wedding coordinator. Her "service charge" was nearly double what the cake person charged. What a scam. The MOB is short a few brain cells.
It sounded like the email was just keeping the cake maker in the loop and the request for the invoice and contract was reasonable... but then the request for money RIGHT after they confirmed that they know Melina didn't get paid the payout Miranda did.... Things that make you go Hmmmmm
Bet anything to coordinator is a family friends daughter or something so they are trying to blame anyone else first to prevent personal conflict.
I came here to say exactly this.
@@AbsoluteLeeNot I can see it being a senior partners daughter or something
The bride didn't have a contract with the vendor. She had a contract with the coordinator. She needs to take her to court. The vendors did what they were requested to do.
I worked for a maintenance coordinating company for corporations like Apple and Sephora, and the markup on that was insane, so I can only imagine how much more it is for the wedding industry.
Technically speaking, they do have a contract with the vendor. The vendor is legally a subcontractor, and the planner is the primary contract holder. The vendor is still responsible to provide the agreed upon product, and is still legally under contract, but the planner is liable for any failure on the part of the vendor. If the client has an issue with the vendor, they should be pursuing the planner. The planner is then responsible for pursuing the vendor for breech of contract.
I've been in the wedding industry for years dressing men as a consultant for a well known distributor. Independent consultants, at least in my own experience, are a scam and not to be taken lightly. The story is always very similar. The wedding group will talk about how they "Already have a consultant." At some point in the conversation, they will mention that it's either a recommendation or a friend of the family. It eventually ends in a realization that their "Consultant" and "Friend of the family" is charging them thousands for the simple task of calling businesses and having them do the job for them at a significantly lower cost, and then pocketing the difference. Imagine paying someone 3500 dollars to make a few phone calls.
The words wedding and drama often belong in the same sentence. Also, when the word wedding is mentioned, all the services seem to go up a grand over normal pricing.
Gotta tell everyone you're buying from that you're having a birthday party or christening. The only one who needs to know that it's a wedding would be the dressmaker if the couple wants a traditional dress.
@@BlueGangsta1958 Yep yep yep!
Miranda is the responsible party. End of. If the family is unhappy with the inflated costs they need to go over the contract they signed with Miranda to see if that contract allowed for those up charges and fees. If it does. Their bad they should have gone over the contract better. If not the the family should sue Miranda. Miranda should give the $500 tips specifically allocated for the vendors paid by the mother of the bride to the vendors. If she. Refuses they should collectively sue Miranda for the stolen tips as well as the negative attention and damage to theirs reputations.
There are two groups of people who get shafted by people at weddings. Catering and dress fitters. People always try and bully money out of them to pinch pennies when alls said and done. My mom did last minute dress alterations all the time in the industry and she never let them get away with payment plans or stiffing her money. People were sometimes put off but there’s two things you can complain about or fail to pay after the fact for supposed little consequence. The only reason wedding photographers don’t get shafted is because they know they can keep their product hostage lmao.
I literally just got home from working at a wedding. I've been doing it part-time for a couple of years now, and WOW, what the FCK.
When people pay that much money for a wedding, there's a very high standard of expectations. And one of those expectations on the RARE occasion that someone is generous enough to tip at all - let alone that much for ALL vendors - then a big part of the point is to give the people who are working the wedding an extra hitch in their giddyup, to be just *that* much more on point when everything is happening.
And this wedding coordinator *stole* that from them. Not just the money, but that little extra something to make the day what they wanted it to be. I don't even like rich people lol, but I can't imagine stooping so low. I always treat each wedding like it's the most special day in the couple's life. Even if people are rude or rushed or whatever. It's just...how that stuff is supposed to work...?
Thanks as always for the videos man
IF this mother is a lawyer then basic first class in law school is contracts and that says you're only responsible to the person with whom you had a contract.
Between this and Janet and Ben I do wonder about the general legal education in America 😐 thank goodness for the Madcatster for keeping up the level by his being well above average! 😁
It’s crazy to me that the bride was so hands-off on these important details of her own wedding to the point where she would have no idea what’s going on until the last possible moment. Theres lots of weird behaviour going on here
Right? Like, who has the coordinator do the cake tasting? That is such a personal thing....strange to say the least.
I can almost guarantee that the family signed a document without reading it, so not since they can't get money back from the coordinator, they're trying to get money back from anyone else.
The first time my mom got married, she paid extra for a sugar-free wedding cake & frosting. They did not make it sugar-free. Still charged her extra, and she could not even eat more than a couple bites of her own cake.
That's messed up
I hope she went for/got a refund because if you just roll over and take it then there goes the sympathy.
I asked for any flavour of cake Except rum cake, and that's exactly what I got, a rum cake, weddings are such fun.
To pay $7,000 for a cake is outrageous!
right ??? i can’t be the only one in a chokehold by that 😭
This is horrible. Half way through the video I hit pause and sent my wedding coordinator a message thanking her again for being so wonderful. My wedding was 12 years old 😂
This baker/cake decorator is NOT responsible for any of this!
They are lying about being in the legal professions, its a ruse. Imho. But Melina just has to get in front of a good judge. The truth speaks for the criminal acts of the scammer
I find it's really shocking that the bride herself would be so completely hands off with these details about her wedding.
The mother of the bride is clearly demonstrating how they could have been so duped with her lack of understanding about anything. I can't imagine throwing that kind of money around and being so clueless about something that women women usually turn into Bridezilla control freaks about.
im startibg to think the family is in on it because there no way the are ALL this stupid
Um, does the name Jeanette Braun ring a bell? Not all lawyers are geniuses, bud.😂 Thos might just be some of her family!
@SkunkApe407 no I haven't heard of that name (wait is that that stupid mortician women lawyer? but I wasn't talking about them as lawyers I was talking about them as adults with common sense
@@shelliblossom8953 yeah, it is the idiot mortician's clown lawyer.
As for so-called "common sense", that shit isn't common anymore. It's a superpower.
I work in events, and brides and mothers-of-the-brides often get real out of sorts around weddings. Emotions are high and logic goes right out the window
I've never heard of a wedding/event planner charging things that way. Usually the have one fee that covers all their work not multiple fees attached to each individual vender. The only reason to divide it that way is if she was trying to hide extra fees on top of her normal one and just hoped the family would never ask for receipts/itemized lists or talk to the venders. Maybe because of the way she wrote up the invoices to the family they only have proof that the money was paid the venders rather than the planner so that's why they feel the need to go after the venders? That or the family is close with her/in on the scam somehow. It doesn't seem like the planner disappeared with the money or anything since the mother mentions a conversation with her.
This poor girl should send them a contract and tell them to discuss any refund with Miranda because they should have a master contract with Miranda, and Miranda will be the one on the contract with the cake lady lol
When I seen the new background, I thought you went on the cruise :(
Ha me too!
This "coordinator" is a PURE SCAMMER if this is true.. she f'd over everybody and faked her way into wedding gifts too, she is ridiculous
That poor baker! She just did what she was told and this crazy planner chick acted like it was her wedding and charged the family an extra $5000?!
If I was this baker I would get an attorney to write up a cease and desist letter and get restraining orders against the bride & groom & thier families because they ALL sound delulu... A $500 "good faith refund"?! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
This is like having someone install your engine incorrectly and then blaming the engine manufacturer.
I was a professional cake decorator for 10 years. This situation make my blood pressure rise. This is insane! Contracts are there for a reason. The MOB seems weirdly fixated on $500. My heart goes out to the cake artist. She needs to ONLY deal with the "coordinator". The bride's family does NOT have a contract with her. Also, it is not a thing for the vendors to stand in place for the coordinator on the day of the wedding. A wedding party can negotiate that the coordinator be there at the end or is there all day. That is in their contract. What a mess!
Miranda may be a family friend and they are claiming she charged extra in order to strong arm the vendors to give them deals.
markie here in 4k definition apologising and saying he hopes the set up looks good. Sir, you are looking great as always!
I wish I can say that I'm shocked that the MOB would try to get her money back by harassing the vendors. In this day and age, I am very rarely surprised.
With that being said, they COULD be lawyers. Being lawyers doesn't automatically make you a good person. For an example look at the lawyer from a prestigious family of lawyers who killed his son and his wife. Not too mention trying to make it look like he was a target as well.
There are awful lawyers out there in the world. HOWEVER, I hope that they try to take the vendors into court, the discovery on the case would be AMAZING.
My message to Melina is this: Tell them any future contact has to go through your attorney. I bet they will back off real quick, lawyers or not. The courts is a criminals worst nightmare even if they dont know it.
Bizarre, so freaking weird. That coordinator has ... something going on for sure 😅
It isn't the baker's fault. Will she also be talking to the other vendors to get a refund or sue them. It almost feels like it's a scam with how she keeps targeting the vendors. Like the vendors will feel pressure over a bad review or social backlash to pay the "victims" but it was all the "mother's" plan to get money plus extra back.
I'm waiting for the janitor drama
Oh my god… imagine stealing even small amounts. Then imagine STEALING TENS OF THOUSANDS
The MOB must be high out of her mind! Miranda robbed them blind, and she’s going after the Malian!
Melina better not give them one dime back. She has no contract with them.
The letter from the mother of the bride seems like discovery to build a case against the coordinator.
Nobody in their right mind would blame the cake vendor.
I can't believe the brides mother has THE AUDACITY.
Duuuuude, the bride's family and the coordinator are totally in cahoots and running a grift on the vendors! They are trying to intimidate (at least) the dessert vendor by saying "we are lawyers, blah blah blah", pay us money or else.
yikes! the coordinator stole the wedding with the exception of walking down the isle. please keep up with this story. i hope they take “miranda” to court… and that @charlottedobre covers this as well. also, peeped that tattoo 😄
definingly wanna hear charlotte cover this. she doesn't hold back
I really feel for this mother of the bride. She hired someone who took complete advantage of her. The substituting of Miranda's picture for the bride's gift makes me think this was planned. And this is absolutely theft, and not at all the baker's fault. I think it's weird that Mom asked Baker for a refund, it makes me wonder if Miranda is maybe a friend of the family or known to them in some way before this and they're trying to avoid rocking the boat by blaming the baker.
i hope she sues the planner and the family. its obvious the planner is a family friend or something. there's 0 other reason not to go after her.
Just a curious question. Why would the cake person be expected to be there all day? I have never been to a wedding where the cake person stayed after bringing in the cake.
Theres been an udate that the mother of the bride is not the mother of the bride but her mother in law who contributed NOTHING to the wedding the coordinator charged a 10% fee which is standard she filled out the cake form as the bride because shes new to the field and wasnt sure how to fill the forms out or if the businesses wouldnt make appointments with her because she was a coordinator and not the bride.
I’m planning my wedding and working with a wedding coordinator right now, and I would be livid if I got overcharged - but I would be mad at the coordinator, not the oblivious vendor! It’s normal for a coordinator to help find vendors, manage them during the planning portion, and distribute their tips on the wedding day, but coordinators don’t usually go to cake tastings and decide on things that are preferences of the bride and groom. Wtf this whole story is so weird 😂
How stupid can you be?! Handing money to someone trusting they’ll just disperse it and not even checking to see if they do it? Not questioning why the desserts were 7 grand? Why aren’t they going after the lady who stole all that money from them? Unless they’re actually so stupid they’ve let that lady convince them everyone else is just lying💀
There's a possibility the coordinator disappeared like a fart in the wind. They might be going after the vendors because their butt biscuit of a coordinator is AWOL.
As someone who is getting married… sounds like they just want a free wedding. 😊
I understand that she can claim the upcharges are her "coordinator fees" or whatever.. but how is pocketing the vendors' tips not illegal?
"If the stolen property has a value of over $20,000 it is considered a felony"
Where I live theft over $5000 is a felony 😮
Haha I thought you were going to turn around and say you're on the cruise, when you said you were away from home 😂
I could never be so audacious. The embarrassment of being caught making a photo gift for yourself is enough to deter me from running a scam like this.
The video quality was just fine! Your travel vids are still better than others normal setup and your personality makes any issues easily ignored.
This situation is bananas. If I was the cake vendor I’d be questioning my own sanity. “Like what does this have to do with me? I make cakes. Bye” 👋 😂
You have to go to a 'pannenkoeken huis'! A pancakes are a dinner food, and we treat them like Italians treat pizza. Nothing beats a good bacon, onion, and cheese pancake.
Also Markie, you are seriously underestimating drama serounding the wedding industry as a whole.
😂
I understand the family asking for documentation regarding communications with Miranda, and Melina's contract with her, but a $500 refund is insane. Absolutely not her responsibility. Who cares if she left before 5? She's not the photographer, or the DJ, or the videographer. Her job is to make the cake. For most weddings, the bakery will deliver the cake, set it up, and then leave, job done. Why would she need to stay until 5? Plus, she's already out $500 for the tip she didn't get. I really have to wonder if they're also trying to manipulate more money out of all the vendors, not just her.
Both parties need to come together with the information they have, compare notes and go after the alleged guilty party.
I’ve been WAITING and PRAYING this lil drama would end up on your channel!!! If TikTok has taught me ANYTHING it’s NEVER do business without a written contract. Period. And don’t be afraid to sue.
Edit:
Actually it’s taught me not to do business with people. Ever. Anymore.
Does the coordinator actually pay the vendors? If she does then the family aren’t actually clients of the vendors, and can’t pursue them for anything.
Thank you for sharing this story callum.. not only is it completely insane, but its pretty infuriating and I hope this story spreads enough that this family backs off Melina and the heat turns on "Miranda" bc that's just fucked up.
Charging outrageous coordinator fees is one thing.. but stealing tips and fucking PRETENDING TO BE THE BRIDE TO VENDORS INCLUDING ACCEPTING GIFTS FOR YOU AND YOUR OWN PARTNER I truly just can't even believe that. That is the craziest shit I've heard in a while.
I think either they thought the cake vendor was working with Miranda to scam them or the family can’t find Miranda and trying to find her by harassing all the vendors.
I can’t believe someone would be that stupid
