Wedding Confessional Booth Monday!

Mademoiselle D

Okay ladies, share something you did or are planning to do for your wedding that you would not dare to tell those closest to you.

I'll go first...

- The majority of the guests are aware we are having a children-free wedding. However, it isn't entirely true. I have made a few expections for my out of state family members who will be coming to the wedding and will be bringing their kids. I have no problem with children at a wedding but there are some guests whose children I wouldn't want at the wedding because they are just plain BAD!!! LOL!

- Supposedly we have a FG which I never wanted. Our church does not allow flower petals to be thrown on the aisle so it defeats the purpose of having a FG. Despite telling this to FMIL when she asked why weren't having a FG....she went ahead (not on purpose, she has a terrible memory) and asked one of FI's family members to allow their daughter to be our FG. The family member said "yes", of course. I really do not want to bother looking for a FG dress and we really don't need one for the wedding party. I am happy we will only have our 3 nephews in our wedding party and I wouldn't want it any differently. I don't even know the child and FI isn't close to her. I will just blame my "terrible memory" on the fact I forgot we even had a FG and not even bother looking for a dress.

Mostly everyone knows we want a child free wedding but I was recently informed if someone whose will be 1 yr old can't come they won't ... Fine by me two people less to pay for.

A couple weeks ago, at FI's grandfather's wake, his aunt actually said to my Mom (they only met once in Nov., but she's the um..."outspoken" aunt that half of the family avoids), "I don't know why they're getting married in Florida.  Don't they know, I have 3 kids.  I can't afford that." FI and I said Oh wellllll....about 5 less to have to worry about paying for and she's one we could really do without.*

Hardly any of FI's mom's family is coming because they all live in st. louis and when we got engaged they were all talking about coming down for a family reunion over the wedding weekend. Well there is like 75 people on that side of the family and when we heard that FI and said the no kids rule (originally I didn't mind kids at all coming) so they all decided not to come and we are going to st. louis for some kind of reception or something there. What I won't tell anyone is I'm super glad about that! It would have been so much more stressful with all of them coming plus all of my side's OOT guests and his dad's family is all coming and meeting one side of the family on the wedding weekend is enough for me. One step at a time.

I had 5 BMs and 2 abandoned me 2 months before the wedding. I had half a mind to ban them from the wedding and from my life altogether.  Instead, when one of them showed up at the wedding, I tried to avoid her. I still feel bad about all this.
