Back "home" vent

I've spent the past 2 days traveling and I am finally at my parents' house to get the last stuff done before the wedding. FI is staying with his parents for a couple days then they are driving out 2 days before the wedding. My dad has decided that FI can't stay at their house before the wedding, but won't foot the bill for FI to stay at the hotel. Money is tight for us right now, so we're trying to save as much as we can and FI and I are fine with seeing each other the morning of the wedding, but evidently that doesn't matter. 

I also have to have a talk with my parents about a bunch of other wedding stuff that they want to do that I do not want, because they haven't been listening to me at all during the planning. I didn't realize weddings were a fantastic opportunity to talk about all the stupid or embarrassing things that I've done, and show photographic evidence. 

Finally, my sister (who kicked me out of her BP for her wedding this fall) can talk of nothing but her wedding. It is really annoying and if she keeps it up all week a "My wedding is on Saturday and I really don't care about yours" is coming. I did learn of the first (of many, I suspect) etiquette fails for her wedding. She told me the guests are going to sit on hay bales. I mentioned that I am allergic and will break out in hives, and she said "you'll be fine, I'm renting chairs for immediate family". I wonder who is going to be the chair police?

  • @erinlin25 Oh, she is. I learned a lot more about her wedding today from my mom. It sounds like a train wreck and I had to share the new details on the Etiquette board.

  • Happy wedding week!  Your sister is a jerk, just think about how awesome your wedding will be and how great your FI is (soon he'll be your husband!)  I'd also like to point out that hay might not be one of my allergies but it is REALLY uncomfortable to sit on.  If it were covered with a bazillion blankets, the hay would still poke people.  It also gets REALLY warm really fast so, again, uncomfortable.  I'm glad my SIL hasn't thought of it for her "rustic chic" wedding this fall.
  • Happy wedding week! It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. But you'll be married soon. Woohoo!!

    My mom told her this, and that she would not be asking my grandparents to sit on hay bales. The solution is chairs for immediate family, hay for everyone else.

    I'm sure her friends will "totally understand" her vision was more important than having actual chairs for people to sit in.
