    1. Yes sorry I think you're in the wrong. Some may disagree, but I believe you should always sit ppl with their guests, WP or not. I would hate to attend a wedding with my SO and sit at a different table. 2. It sucks that her venue is in such a remote locale. Are there no hotels close by? I agree its a huge inconvenience, hopefully everyone had this info before rsvp'ing to this international wedding. Side note - I hope you aren't comparing what you are planning with her wedding, this can only lead to bad things. Just do the right thing with your own wedding and she will reap her own.

    Totally agree with Lored.

    1. You're in the wrong on the seating arrangement. Let couples sit together.
    2. I can definitely empathize with the expense of having to fly out there, rent a car, stay at a hotel, etc. However, if you know that there are those expenses ahead of time, it's entirely up to you if you're willing to spend the money to attend or not. If you're unwilling to pay those expenses, then don't go. That's on her for making it an inconvenience to some guests.

    Hate to break it to you, but popular opinion around here is to not split up significant others. That's also my opinion, I've been the date sitting with a bunch of people I don't know b'c SO was in the bridal party. It sucked.

     1. Am I wrong in the table arrangement?
    Yes.  In a day celebrating relationships, you don't split up couples.

    2. Is she wrong in the car rental expectation?
    No.  It is the guest's responsibility to figure out how he or she is going to get to the wedding.  If that involves them needing to rent a car or fly in, it is their call whether or not they can afford to attend but it is not the bride & groom's responsibility to provide transportation.  Is it nice?  Yes.  Is it mandatory? No.

    Nobody copied the OP? I remember you, Judell. You're the one who first planned on having her cousin make a single appetizer - seafood bruschetta - to serve to your guests and considered that your meal. You eschewed "cheap" food because of our supposedly expensive venue and called sandwiches "peasant food." Then you came back and said you'd decided to serve more food so you ASSIGNED dishes to your family members and were bitching that your sister didn't want to make chicken for all of your wedding guests. Shocker that you're back again with more bad etiquette and acting like this.

    Oh, and let's not forget your plan of storing the food for the wedding in a funeral home refrigerator.

    [QUOTE]Vic, your TK memory is officially better than mine. I remember those threads, but I hadn't connected them to the OP.

    Oh, I cheated.  I recognized the name but wasn't sure why, so I went poking around in her posting history to refresh my memory.  I knew it had something to do with food, though.
