July 2012 Weddings

annoying guests/Kenny Chesney hatred

I am still mad at Kenny Chesney for coming to Indy the day of MY wedding. Hmph.

Anyway, two things:

Some of fiance's co-workers (who he really doesn't know very well and are NOT invited to the wedding) keep telling him they are planning to swing by our reception to say hi to everyone. He thinks they are joking about it, but I don't think it's funny...I kind of want him to tell them not to, but it's an awkward situation so I am not sure what to tell him to do...

Also, the annoying friend of fiance's who told us she couldn't make it because of Kenny Chesney, then changed her mind and said she was going to bounce between the wedding and the concert, just sent in her RSVP and she picked her meal, RSVPd positively, and didn't mention anything about the concert. If she does bounce back and forth/miss the meal part of the reception, IMA BE PISSED. Would it be weird to have my fiance text her to make sure she is going to be at the whole reception?

Why are people so weird and inconsiderate?

    Yes, they're rude and inconsiderate but I don't think you can dictate how long they can stay.  This doesn't excuse their idiocy but you made the choice to invite them and they made the choice to say yes so the rest is out of your hands.
  • Honestly I don't think I would say anything to the weird friend. I don't think you'll even notice her coming in and out- you'll be having so much fun and interacting with other people. I'd just not worry about this- but I'd hope she eats her dinner!

    I hope your FI's co-workers don't just stop by the reception and say hi. Are you going to have security? I'd just keep my fingers crossed and hope they don't come. Several of my students have been begging me to let them come to the reception and they promised they'd "not eat anything!!!" haha, but it'll be 4 hours away from them so I don't see it happening.

    But if the co-workers DO show up after dinner- I say just ignore them. Don't say hi or anything. But maybe your FI should at least say something like "oh yeah, very funny! Anyway, I'll see you next week, huh?".

  • you guys are right. I really don't care how long she stays (I don't really like her too much anyway so it would be great if they peaced out after dinner). I just really hope she is there for the meal since her and her husband picked out meal choices!!

    I hope your students don't stop by, either. It's just awkward and weird.  These same co-workers have told my fiance that they are planning to pitch in and buy him a nice butter dish because they know he really likes butter. (he does like butter) but the whole thing is just so weirddddd.
  • It would be nice if she just chose one event instead of going to both. I despise country music so I'd much rather come to your wedding! It sounds like she is making an effort to be a part of your big day, but not only are you paying for her meal, but you are also paying for her bar tab for the whole night, and cake and any late night snacks you offer, etc.. and if she only at your reception for an hour, then she's kind of wasting your money.  She shouldn't treat your wedding like a dine and dash situation!
  • I think the girl needs to pick one event. I mean a concert & a wedding aren't events to just 'pop in and out of.' Like, we're not talking about two backyard bbqs here. Not sure what you should do though, since she RSVPed yes and choose a meal, I'd probably just let it be. If she peaces out to go to the concert, that's her rude choice.

  • Yeah I'd be pissed if she didn't eat dinner. And as for the crashers, my students want to come too, in fact I'm being really careful to not mention when it is (they know where because their senior prom was there) because I'm woried a few might actually show up!

  • Oh and remember who will look rude. Not you or FI- the weird friend and the co-worker will look stupid doing that.

    <div>True that.</div><div>
    </div><div>I wouldn't talk to her about it, I'd just hope she ends up coming and eating. It is definitely an annoying situation though.</div>
