PLEASE don't let it put you off of trying the products again at a later date (with a different person maybe?). I am a consultant and it makes me so sad to hear your stories, especially because its surrounding your wedding. Each consultant will run their business the way they were taught and sadly, some people are taught that pushy is ok...so not ok with me!!!<P>I became a consultant because the products are awesome and really changed my skin. lol, some people may now call me a MK junkie. :)Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:29:35 GMTbeccakhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic32772-5-1.aspx[quote][b]schrambony (5/26/2008)[/b][hr]I won that exact same prize at a wedding show, and was excited for it.

We loved it and had a great time. We got some great tips and the rep wasn't pushy at all.

Even though my wedding isnt until June 30, 2007! So if anyone has used them or has heard about them, did you like the service? Gimme your reviews! Thanks in advance!</P><P>DianeSun, 07 May 2006 22:02:25 GMTmom2h04b05
