My family and my husbands family are both very relaxed people so the last thing I expected on my wedding day was drama!!
The day started with my husband's sister having the flu... she didnt tell anyone and ended up passing out in my bathroom, hitting her head on the washing machine and needing seven stitches!!
After all of that drama (her mother came to take her to the er) the entire day was spent with everyone worrying about whether she would be able to still be in the wedding and I was trying to decide how upset everyone would get if I told her she couldn't walk whether she made it or not (there was no way I was taking a chance of her passing out during the ceremony!!)
Well, ceremony time finally rolled around and none of my husbands family was there!! We ended up waiting about 10 min but i refused to wait any longer because we couldnt reach them and had no idea how long they would be. They ended up coming in about 15 min after we were supposed to start (I was literally seconds away from getting started) but none of them were dressed! My MIL expected me to wait while they dressed my SIL and did her hair and makeup! I said no way and they she would have to sit out of the ceremony but could get ready to be in the pictures afterward. MIL was angry about this and took her time getting dressed (I was ready to kill her!) We finally got the ceremony started and everything went fine. At the reception my husbands parents were only concerned with my SIL and didn't even hardly speak to my husband and I. No one to this day has even appologized! I understand that it wasnt her fault that it happened but it really put a damper on the whole day and no one from his family seems to care!
The part that upset me the most is I understand why my FIL and SIL were late for the ceremony, but my MIL wasnt even with them at the hospital! She as at HOME TAKING A NAP!! Seriously! Who is late for their own child's wedding! I dont know how to get over this and I really cant say much to them without causing serious turmoil... they really dont seem to see anything wrong with the situation!
The icing on the cake was that my husbands Aunt and Uncle also showed up late to the ceremony and walked in after my last bridesmaid walked down the aisle but before me and my dad! His uncle actually asked my dad to take his coat! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!? and who walks into the middle of a wedding ceremony and just stands there waiting for someone to seat them when obviously the bridesmaids are already up front waiting and the Bride needs you to move so she can walk down the aisle.... most importantly who shows up for a 4:00 wedding at 4:25?!?!? I am doing my best to be the better person and just move on.... my husband has expressed how upset he is with them but also knows that it will do no good to say anything now.... it just really hurts me the on their son's wedding day they couldnt even show up on time!
I'm done venting now, just needed to get it off my chest! Thanks for reading!
