All planners have had their share of family feuds...it's almost unavoidable at times. It may be the mothers who disapprove of their child's choice or maybe it's the argument of tradition but some how there is usually something.
BUT how do you deal with a real life Romeo & Juliette story? I have a very much in love couple who have been living together for 2 yrs (secretly, in another state) but now have to move back home because of job placement. Their family feud began 10 ten years ago when a cousin of the soon-to-be groom was dating a cousin of the soon-to-be bride which ended in murder/suicide.
Yeah, my reaction exactly. Both families blame each other and even sued each other for wrongful death. Now the couple are faced telling their families the truth about their engagement and living arrangements.
I have never dealt with such a BIG family problem like this before...I normally would NOT share my clients issues but I'm at true lost. So I'm asking my well seasoned planners out there for help. How would you handle this issue or would you even be bothered with it?
