A few years ago I was a Wedding
Coordinator at a local venue. I was there for nearly a year and planned
weddings for 8 months of those. While working there I got on really well with
Charmaine the Conference Coordinator. Both weddings and conferences were pretty
hectic and there were times we were overworked and understaffed. Charmaine and
I were each other’s rocks. I knew she lived on skinny lattes and with a
Starbucks round the corner I would buy her these to keep her going. We then
thought me buying coffee for her was like Devil Wears Prada with Anne Hatherway
being Meryl Streep’s assistant. And so the nicknames of Hatherway and Meryl
were born.
When I left the venue I gave
‘Meryl’ a picture of our time together at the venue. This picture was a still
of the Devil Wears Prada and I signed it as if I was Anne Hathaway. Years later
and ‘Meryl’ still has this on her desk.
We hadn’t caught up since 2013,
although we’ve stayed in regular contact. Today we had a lovely catch up in the
sun at where else; Starbucks! Things got off to a great start when ‘Meryl’
called me saying she got a sunny table and I thought she said funny table, I
asked how could a table be funny?!
Meryl and Hatherway reunited
Like any good friendship it was as
if no time had passed, we caught up on our working lives and found out we both
loved Neighbours back in the day. So for our next catch we will be watching
Devil Wears Prada, and Scott and Charlene’s wedding. It was great to catch up
with ‘Meryl’, I hope it isn’t over a year until our next catch up.
