tell me something WR that annoys you REALLY BADLY

butterflyjumper1

Do you guys remember the girl who texted us when our save the dates went out, and said "what time is your wedding. I am going to a concert the day you are getting married." and it made me mad?

I am now EVEN MORE MAD! She texted my fiance and told him that she is planning on "sneaking in and out of the wedding" so that she can attend her PRECIOUS concert. sooo basically, she is going to eat and then leave to go to the concert, I am guessing.

What makes me MORE mad about this, is that we have a really limited room block at our reception site/hotel that is ALMOST full (we only have 4 more rooms the night of the wedding, even though we haven't sent invitations out yet!!)  and even though she lives in town, she is using one of them!

end vent. your turn.

HAHAHA my FMIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a million and one, but this one is on my mind right now. 

Everyone keeps telling me, "it's YOUR day, do what YOU and your FI want." then when I tell them what I want they tell me how I'm wrong and I should do it this way instead. For example, for me, I think favors are silly and a waste of time/money, we're already having a photo booth which is favor enough IMO. I told my FMIL we weren't having favors and she was like, "well you have to have SOMETHING, I have a bunch of tulle left over from making the FG dresses, I'll get some candy and make favors out of those.". This ALSO annoys me because they aren't contributing financially at all, not even to the RD and I'd rather that money, no matter how little it is, go to the RD that we're paying for ourselves instead of SOME FUCKING CANDY WRAPPED IN TULLE!!!!!!!!

WHAT!?!??!!!! That girl needs to be uninvited. Sorry, not sorry.

Something that bothers me a ton is that EVERYTHING is jacked up in price 2000% just because it's a wedding.

How FMIL keeps saying that we're doing things so expensive. Hello- she lives in the middle of no where and everything is a lot cheaper. We are doing our best to keep the costs low AND she is NOT paying for anything. Back off.

HAHHAHA I 100% agree!

Just how all of this small stuff adds up and is getting really expensive! Just really sick of using every dime of my money on wedding stuff that no one will even notice or appreciate. can't wait to go shopping for myself just because after this wedding is over!

My sister (whom I've talked about a little bit on here before) is basically taking every idea from my wedding and using it at hers.  I've never really talked wedding with her, but my parents will not quit telling her. It just irritates me that I've done all the work for mine, and I acknowledge that my ideas for the most part are not original, but really, does she have to copy everything I do down to cake design?

Meagan, but what if it's REALLY GOOD candy? 


OK, this sounds really dumb... we're giving out stuff for the photobooth/dance floor (sunglasses, leis, etc).  My mom INSISTS on giving out these feathery facemasks that she purchased from the dollar store.  They're ugly.  Like REALLY ugly. 

And they remind me of the movie Eyes Wide Shut.  Ever see that movie?  Yeah, people put on those masks and go to f*ck parties and f*ck each other.  UGH.

<div>Okay yeah that would annoy me. Is there any way you could just accidentally misplace the masks?  Or tell her you want to be able to see peoples faces and the masks would obstruct that.</div>

Maybe they'll get "lost" the day of the wedding.

Ditto Bridetobe about things costing more just because it's a wedding.  Especially transportation.  I don't care about cars or limos but obviously I have to get transportation.  Why does it cost more to get to my wedding than to go to the airport?  I only need to be dropped off. 

And also people worrying about the cost of things.  As long as you aren't paying, why should you care?  FILs aren't contributing one cent so please don't question how much my parents are spending.

1. Girl that is leaving the wedding early and taking up a hotel room, yeah...I agree can you mistakenly lose her invitation?

2. Eyes wide shut masks - Bahahaha!!! F-em parties. Now you have a theme for your wedding.

TChiumi

FILs keep saying we are living outside our means.  The have made a very small contribution to the wedding and are paying for the RD but we are in no way living outside our means.  We have done a lot of shopping around to find good deals so that we can have the wedding we want but say within our budget.  

I also don't understand the whole everything thing wedding related being more expensive.  The quotes I go for my hair were more expensive than my bridesmaids and I never even specified what type of style we wanted. So just because I'm the bride my hair style costs more WTF?

BrightFirefly

The whole cashbar/hosted bar thing drives me nuts.

Our wedding reception is at noon...and there is an hour of passed mimosas and bloody Marys..and people are still like "omgz, no alcohol??"

really people..in the middle of the afternoon??

Sorry..not paying 12 pp to add more alcohol to our package.

littlemoments324

My dad is like "you should have thought about your budget before you picked your place & it is too expensive!"  I'm like, "for one, I wasn't expecting to get 15 hours a week cut at work, therefore that is why we are struggling to pay for a few things (i.e. spending less on WP gifts, hotel & gas to drive up for the wedding!!)..yes I got a second job to help make up for it, but still, it isn't helping as much as I would have like it to...and don't worry, your F-ing bar friends are still f-ing invited, even though I should have said no from the beginning so I could have other people there that I wanted there instead of your f-ing bar friends...a$$wipe..."

Oh that was a nice vent....thanks butterfly

Ok I completely realize that this is not a big deal and I'll be over it in the very near future... but we sent out invitations and so far I have gotten THREE of them back saying it is the wrong address. What.the.eff. So during those weeks I spent tracking down addresses, at least three people didn't bother to take the time to CHECK or THINK about whether they were giving us the correct addresses. Super freaking annoying!

One thing that annoys me on an ongoing basis... and this is kind of rude to say...

I hate talking about the wedding with every single person every time I see them. I know people are just excited and care about us, but UGH I am sick of talking about it.

I'm annoyed by how time-consuming everything is! The ridiculous wedding prices are annoying too, because  I have to search hard to find a reasonable price for each thing I buy. I'm more bothered by the time than the pricing though, I just want my life back! I'm doing almost all the planning and I'm so sick of it- why do I need to okay everyone's f-ing outfit and plan the RD for the FIL's and mediate the bridal shower plans b/t my Mom and FMIL! Grr.  I have enough on my plate, can't people plan the RD and shower without my input?!

Nati05

I hate there isn't enough money to get all the fun stuff we want.

I also hate when people start requesting things that we HAVE TO HAVE at our wedding when there's no way we can fit it in our budget. It's also always people who are making no monetary contributions whatsoever. Like random friends. I'm just like, wtf who are you??

bridetobe71412

Rebis - My FMIL gave us, oh, probably a total of 5 addresses. 2 of those 5 were wrong and came back. WTF? How hard is it to write an address??!!

<div>Ugh! So annoying. I know it's only a minor inconvenience and if that's my biggest annoyance right now I should be very grateful, but it's still irritating</div>

moonshine876

I'm irritated that my FMIL and FGIL didn't bother to RSVP no for my shower. I understand that his family all lives far away and his mother can't contribute financially (even her own plane ticket) but would a 2 second email kill you? We are extremely strapped buying plane ticket, hotel room, rehearsal dinner etc and you can't even bother to say no???

This.  I am not really interested in the whole process anymore.  Everything is in place and now we are just waiting for the day to get here.  I am not interested in providing the universe with a minute by minute update to everyone about the latest detail.
