VENT

So i just needed a place to vent....

I just realized I have never met about 30% of my guest list, another 20-30%, I didn't actually even want to invite!!! I know since my future in-laws are paying for the wedding, they get free reign for who they want to invite, and I have invited everyone they have asked without saying anything, but I am sooooooooo frustrated. At this point, it's not even a money thing for me. It's my special day where I am committing myself to my future husband --- why should I invite everyone in their neighbor who could care less about our future married life together!!!!!

I'm also tired of dealing with the manipulation and dropped hints to get invited to my wedding. I think weddings should be shared with people who care about the couple and their future relationship the most.... NOT people who your parents or you feel obligated to invite or people who just want to come to a wedding to have a good time.


AHHH SO OVER IT!

    I disagree. Your wedding is about the people who are paying for it. If they want to throw a lavish party and invite everyone they know, so be it. As long as they're not telling you to cut out your own friends and family to make room for their neighbors, what do you care?

    If it bothers you that much, tell the ILs thanks but no thanks and pay for your own wedding.

    If they could care less, then they obviously care. Why is this a problem?

    I completely understand where you're coming from. My parents and FI's parents are splitting our wedding cost and I'm glad they haven't tried to invite many people we don't personally know. I think the wedding should be all about the love between the couple and the loved ones who truly wish them a happy marriage.

    I thought your grandmother was paying for everything? Perhaps your stories should match. At least when you're commenting on the same chat board.
