AHHHH! Sometimes I just want to strangle my family, or trade them in for a new set!
Besides texting me all the time with questions they can easily answer themselves if they even bothered to go to my wedding website (which has every possible question answered) OR use mapquest or google at look at a map. Or a travel site like expedia or something and look up plane tickets. No, they want me to do that. So aggravating.
RSVPs went out on April 2. It's May 7. I know they have more time, but not A SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER has responded. I know I'll end up calling them after the deadline, because they're all a bunch of procrastinators.
My sister called about the rehearsal dinner, so I asked her if she was going to make it to the wedding after all. She said she still doesn't know. I feel more like a mom than a sister with her because I always have to do things for her. She's 28! Do something for yourself for once! The "I don't know yet" code really means "can you help me pay my ticket". As much as I said to myself I wouldn't do that for the past year, I finally had to cave and pay half, because I know for a fact my guilt would eat me alive if I didn't.
Then mom calls and wants me to pick her and my grandmother up from the airport, which is an hour one-way. I have so many things to do that day (Thursday before the wedding on Saturday), and now I have to make TWO trips that way because I already had plans later that day to go to the final tux fitting with my dad. My grandmother didn't want to travel with the majority of people who are arriving that night because she wanted to fly during the day, which now means they have no transportation when they arrive (everyone arrives later and will rent cars then) so I have to get them.
I asked another sister to be a bridesmaid in November. I asked my sisters before anyone else because I know they would need more time. My one sister (the one who wanted money) declined because of money, and the other sister said yes. This was November. She still hasn't gotten her dress. It's May 7. She just called 5 minutes ago wanting to go to get her dress. At this point I just want to tell her nevermind, but I won't. If she can find the dress within the parameters (length, fabric, color) she can walk. If not, she'll be a guest.
I asked my aunt to do a reading for the ceremony in December. She said yes, and I gave her a list of passages she can choose from over a month ago. She still hasn't decided, even though I told her I need her choice so I can give my other reader the remaining options! She's holding up my programs!
And two cousins, who I truly wanted to be there, declined the RSVP and can't make it
Needed to vent.
