Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite

BLUEman: The Male Perspective

Over the past week I heard a post wedding night story from a couple married only a couple months.

The couple said their bridal party snuck into their room prior to the end of the reception and had proceeded to place red rose petals across the bed.

Not an uncommon thing for the bridal party or wedding planner to do. It adds a bit of romance to the end of their night just spent celebrating with many friends and family.

The only problem was this time the rose pedals were picked from around the property, and without any careful checking. The pedals placed on this couples bed had bugs in them, which sometimes can be hard to see when the people making the romantic gesture are caught up in the moment.

So after coming back to their room and clearing the bed of rose pedals, the couple woke up the next morning with bite marks on their bodies. Thankfully the bite marks were not completely all over their bodies.

The lesson to learn here…if you’re in the bridal party and have access to the room while the bride and groom are enjoying their reception, throw around the pedals with caution.

The easiest way to avoid tracking bugs into the room is to gather some of the pedals used at the ceremony. This can be from the flower girl for instance. Or, you might want to pick up some rose pedals from a nearby flower shop. But if you do end up picking some rose pedals from around the property (certainly not advised), make sure to check over them carefully.


See you next Monday...
