am I being unreasonable - latest update wedding was on 16th

Hi everyone, some of you may remember I was on here a few weeks ago with a problem.

Well the wedding was on Saturday and everything went very well and we all had a fabulous day. Sons girlfriends came and they are both lovely girls and we all got on very well. The ceremony, the reception and evening party all went smoothly, no arguments, or fights or drunken behaviour.

The Bride didn't actually make much effort with our family  until late on in the evening but she did eventually have a chat and a dance with them all, she did the same with me and my hubbie as well - but there were over a 100 people there so its hard to spread yourself around when everyone wants to talk to you.

We have seen them since and been to their home and everything seems to be OK between us now - thank goodness.  It was probably a case of wedding nervousness - although the sons girlfriends are both stunning looking so may be a little bit of jealously as well.

Thank you all for all your help, I am sure your advice stopped me making a bad situation worse - standing back a bit and keeping my opinions to myself was the best thing.

They had a choir at the wedding and I had asked if the choir could sing The Prayer, I have it on a Josh Groban cd and I love it, one of the choir ladies and a man sang it and it was just magical.

The weather was wonderful as well, a miracle for UK in April.

I hope everyone who has a wedding coming up has a great day like we had.

Good luck and best wishes to you all

  • I'm so glad this turned out well!  I'm pleased that she made an effort at the wedding and didn't throw a fit that the girlfriends would be there.

    TR, her DIL did not want her other son's girlfriends to come to the wedding and was being very unpleasant about it.
  • And MP is being kind by calling her "unpleasant".

    Seriously. She would have been flamed to high heaven had she come around these parts.

    Very true :)
  • Future Mrs TR - Bride was being awful about Grooms brothers who were ushers bringing there long term girlfriends to wedding. She basically didn't want them there - brothers were both ushers at the wedding.

    There was no reason she could give for not wanting them apart from she didn't know them but as they both brothers live hundreds of miles away the only reason she didn't know them was lack of opportunity to meet them.

    She also fell out completely with us her future Parents in law because we thought they should be invited - I described her as B for Bride but a lot of the posters on here having read the whole saga had other names for B other than bride.

    sorry don't know how to do a link.
  • OP - I'm so glad to hear that everything went well and that the Bride seems to have "calmed down".  I hope that this was just an isolated event and not a prediction of events to come.

    Good luck and congratulations!  :)
  • Glad to hear!
