Most people don't need to hire private security services for their weddings, but there are scenarios in which you might want to have one or two trained personnel on the scene. If you have an ex who has harassed you and is known to have a volatile temper, it's possible that he or she might show up on your wedding day to cause problems. You don't want to worry about such a situation unfolding on such an important day, and having some security officers present will significantly reduce your anxiety. These officers are trained to deal with disruptive people and will react quickly before your ex can make a scene. Here are some ways that your ex might attempt to disrupt your wedding.
Interrupting The Ceremony
Your biggest fear might be that he or she storms into the venue and disrupts the ceremony — perhaps making hurtful claims about you or otherwise drawing attention to himself or herself. Such an event would cast a dark cloud on your wedding day, even if were only brief. With security officers on the scene, such an outburst is highly unlikely. You can supply them with a photo of your ex, and then can position themselves around the entrance to the venue and ensure that this person doesn't attempt to slip in with your guests.
Vandalizing Parked Cars
Your ex might not have the gumption to enter the venue and cause problems, but that doesn't mean that he or she might not show up and engage in inappropriate behavior. It's possible that your ex could arrive on the scene and begin to vandalize parked cars. For example, he or she might key some of the cars or puncture some of their tires as a way of "getting back" at you and the people who are close to you. Uniformed security officers on the scene will prevent such a problem from taking place.
Playing Loud Music
Your ex might figure out where you're getting married and park nearby with his or her car stereo blaring. This is especially a concern if you're having an outdoor wedding, as the music might quickly overpower the ceremony. Should such an issue occur, your security officers would immediately attend the area and speak to your ex. They'd aim to convince him or her to turn the music down, and they may also contact local law enforcement if there's a need.
When my husband started considering some over-the-road trucking jobs that would leave the kids and I home by ourselves, we immediately decided we needed to get a dog. This was the first part of our home security preparations. He wanted us to have something in the house that would alert us if someone showed up, and would protect us if need be. Once we got the dog, I started calling home security companies. I wanted to be sure that my kids and I were secure. They walked me through a whole-home security system with monitoring. I learned a lot from them about areas to secure and what to watch for. I created this site in the hopes of teaching others about keeping their homes and families protected.
