Day Job — and Wedding Planning — is Hard Work

Running a business and planning a big friggin' wedding at the same time is challenging, to say the least.

Episode 4 of VH1's My Big Friggin' Wedding filmed Lynbrook residents Sandra Venturi and Joey Cimino battling it out as they run Cimino's Avista Hardwood Flooring in Lynbrook and make wedding arrangements. She wants to be introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Sandra Cimino at the ceremony. According to Cimino, she has to earn that friggin' privilege.

First day on the job is stressful for most, but the tension runs even higher with your husband-to-be as your friggin' boss. Assuming that Venturi incorrectly wrote down a client's telephone number, Cimino lost his cool big time. Turns out he read the numbers wrong.

"Running a business in a recession as well as trying to pay for a wedding is very stressful, not to mention Sandra has the handwriting of a doctor ... and we all know how horrible that is," said Cimino.

Maybe, he needs anger management like Venturi suggested during the episode. However, Cimino disgrees. "I don't think I need anger management. You are only seeing a small part of our relationship and all you are seeing is the fighting and bickering," he said.

Venturi remains optimistic about having Cimino as her employer. "Joey and I both have strong personalities. I really do like working for him. In fact I love it. I am learning so much and I know when I open my business, I was taught by the best," she said. "It's a shame that our relationship is being judged by 10 minutes of footage because we really have a great relationship. Besides, bickering is healthy. I would hate a man to be a pushover and he would hate it if I didn't speak up. As always, we balance each other out."

Running a business and living in Cimino's parents house will surely keep these two knee deep in drama, but according to Cimino, they are living during tough economic times and have no other choice.

"Most contractors, especially flooring contractors, have home offices.This is perfect for now until the economy picks back up," Cimino said. "Soon I'll be expanding into a storefront and expanding my business to other aspects of the flooring industry."

For this bickering couple, the best way to take a break from the over-the-top drama is a smack — on the butt, that is. Cimino simply can't get enough of taking his hand and smacking Venturi's friggin' rear end.

"I love Sandra's butt," Cimino said. "I always give it a smack every once in a while. I kind of think its funny. I think she likes it."

One can only hope that with so much yelling and smacking going on, this couple must certainly be on their way to wedded bliss. Tune into VH1 on Mondays at 9 p.m. to see what drama next awaits this friggin' couple.
