Vent: FI's siblings

FI's siblings drive me crazy.  He has a younger brother and sister with whom he is very close, but they have never been very nice to me (for YEARS) and I don't even think they are really supportive of him.  He was talking with them both last night (conference call) and they were asking about our rehearsal dinner.  We're going to keep it cheap, and we thought it would be fun to order pizza from our favorite restaurant and just have a low key party at our house.  Just fun and cheap since we are paying for the whole wedding, RD, everything ourselves.  He tells them this and they say how "lame" that is and it is not fancy enough for a RD!  Ugh, how RUDE!  Then, they are talking about the guest list and I overhear that his sister wants to invite her highschool friend, who I have only met once and we both don't like.  I'm hoping she was kidding, but FI wasn't sure.  ARGH!  Anyway, this all just makes me even more furious since FI's sister just got married last year, so you would think she'd understand how rude and obnoxious she's being.  Of course she managed to get FI's parents to pay for her whole wedding, so maybe she just doesn't get it.

Sorry, vent over.  I just can't believe how rude some people can be!

On the upside: 2 big checks this weekend!  We ordered our STDs and put together our wedding website!  A little late on the STDs, but I don't care!  Yay!

    Congrats on your checks! 

    I'm sorry to hear about your FI's sibilings.  They sound really immature, or don't have a lot of experience with money.  I personally love a casual RD....we're doing family style Italian.  Also, if it makes you feel better, FI's hippie brother dislikes me bc I'm a banker.  So you aren't alone!

    That sucks - sending good thoughts your way ;D
    Don't let them get to you - have a fun relaxed RD your way! Hey, maybe you can talk to the pizza guy and see if they'll lay out the pepperoni or other topings in hearts on the pizza?
    Most importantly don't let this get between you and FI!

    And congratulations on your big checks! Who did you do your wedding site with?

    FI siblings sound immature and in their own world especially considering you guys are paying for the wedding yourself.  I have to agree with Ekobs, I like an informal RD.  I think it lightens the mood, has a really fun atmospehere and people can relax the night before the big day.  I honestly think do whatever suits you and FI best- that's who and why you are doing all this planning for!

    Thanks guys!  They just drive me crazy because FI is so loving and supportive of them, but they don't return the favor.  Of course, he doesn't really stand up for himself when they treat him like crap, which also bothers me. I think they are really immature too, which is funny because they are the same age as me (FI a few years older).  Oh well!  You guys made me feel better!

    *LOVE* the idea of toppings in the shape of hearts!!!  I am SO going to do that!  Thanks!

    Our photographer rocks and she made up a website template for us using our engagement photos.  She's hosting it, we just filled it out online.  This was great and made it SO easy!  I have to say, I love our photographer.  She's my favorite vendor so far.  Oh yeah, and she did it for us for free since she's sort of testing out the concept!!!  I'll take this opportunity to plug her since I love her!

    Yes, just keep reminding yourself to "consider the source" and try not to let their behavior/comments get to you.  It's YOUR day so you do what you want and enjoy it!
