October 2012 Weddings

How Rude!

One of our invited wedding guests is my grandmother's friend.  My mother, FI, and I did not want to invite this woman to our wedding, but my grandmother absolutely insisted that this woman be invited.  This was a long argument (my grandmother was not invited to this woman's grandson's wedding, my grandmother is not paying for the wedding, this woman is mean...called FI fat!, and no one likes her).  Being tired of hearing my grandmother insist that we invite her friend, we gave up and sent the STD recently followed by the invite.

Last week, this woman called my grandmother to complain that she didn't get her wedding invitation and asked if we weren't sending any!  My grandmother told her that the invites were in the mail...she received her's the next day!  I'm not sure why she was so offended that I sent my invites out over 8 weeks in advance...apparently she wanted her invite like 6 months in advance?!?!  It's not like she lives out of town and she did receive a STD like 7 months in advance.

She's also told people that she was appalled that our wedding was A) not in a church and B) that it was on a Friday night.  She proceeded to go on and on about "what kind of a wedding is this".  

She came to my bridal shower this weekend, the first thing she said to me was:  I'm not coming to your wedding...I don't drive at night".  I had to seriously hold myself back from saying "good, no one wants you there except for my grandmother anyway, and I think even she is regretting making us invite you!"  I remained poised and just said, "I'm sorry to hear that".

I guess some people are just miserable!

  • Yes....some people are just miserable....you said it.  You would be good to not think about her or her hateful ways any longer.  Make her a non-topic that way she wont affect your day!  Its interesting how big events such as our wedding brings out the worst in some people...theres just no room in my brain (or yours) for those people.  I have to many other things to worry about, and these people dont deserve to take up valuable space that can be taken up by the many many details it takes to throw a wedding!  Keep it up....keep taking the high road!

  • I absolutely would not let this mean old lady ruin my day in any way!  If she does decide to come to the wedding, my only interaction with her will be to say "hello, thank you for coming".  I actually think that she is so ridiculous that it's almost comical LOL!

  • Holy cow! Good for you for staying so calm. I probably would have told her where to go.

  • Hmmm, sounds like my mother!  lol.  She's 85 and thinks she has the right to say anything at anytime to anyone.  She's quite embarrassing, actually.

    I must say, your Mom raised you right.  You handled that well; like a nice, polite young lady.  I on the other hand, would have had a sarcastic reply to her ridiculousness...I suppose that comes from dealing with my mother for the last 40 years.  lol.

  • Sorry, but that's kind of funny! I would have probably laughed in her face! You were nice and handled the situation very well!
