Nevada-Las Vegas

2 weeks out...time to vent!

I need to release this craziness... So its 2 weeks until we leave to Vegas...everything has been good, gone smoothly, no major problems or disasters...and as we get closer the momzilla starts to come out. I swear to god if she doesn't stop being crazy I am gonna flip out (ok maybe I already have). We have a rental house, 5 bedrooms, 12 people staying in it already. 2 people on the rollaway beds...all other beds occupied. WE have the master bedroom... I get a call from momzilla saying there is 4 more people coming to the wedding! Ok cool...my aunt who I havent seen in years. Along with her daughter, 6 years old, where did my Mother forget no kids???? AND THEN she says they are staying in the house!!! OMG. They will stay in the master bedroom with my grandparents...WHAT!?!?! Where am I supposed to sleep??? My moms words "oh, I thought you weren't staying in there" what??!? did you lose your memory in this while inviting the world and making this into your family reunion/vegas party? ITS MY WEDDING. My DH is going to feel so uncomfortable in that house with so many people, I am going to feel uncomfortable with people I haven't seen in years...its not great to have TONS of people around you constantly...GRRR! Needless to say...she now feels bad, and I get where she is coming from wanting everyone to be there, but man, can't she think things through before jumping on them and promising people things? UGH. haha, I really want to laugh about it, or at myself, I've kept my cool up until now. And now I learn how to embrace the extra 4 people. We will just go out A LOT when they are around :) It is Vegas! And a side note - up until Sunday we never thought about the fact that it may be a bit chilly on November 1st in vegas...oops. Time to rent the stand up heater things!! :) Thank you for reading...I needed to get it out!

    Your mom sounds like my mom! I can see where you're coming from. I wouldn't want to spend my wedding night with 12 other people. Not fun! I'm sure you'll find plenty to do in Vegas to get away from the crowded house.Good idea on the heaters. The weather seems like it's going to be a little weird the next couple months. I'm in Los Angeles and it's raining pretty hard right now.Good luck with everything! Don't stress out. You only have 2 weeks to go =)

    I forgot the most important part!!! She decided to pay for our wedding night at the Hard Rock (where we met). That was part of her feeling bad, and I will take it! ...but still the night before and Friday night...ugh too many people!

    Oh good. That's a good way for her to make it up to you =)

    Well it's good to vent so that you can take time to think about it all...and yeah, I agree....WAY TOO many people! But that is sweet that she is at least relizing the situation and trying to fix it! most Momzilla's don't....Good Luck:)

    I'm sorry that you have to cram in so many people, but it's really nice that she's trying to make up for it. My mom just thinks she can do whatever she wants, and probably wouldn't have even told me until they showed up! On a side note, your wedding is the day after mine! I was told that it's supposed to be in the 70's at the end of October/early November. Did you hear something different? I guess I'd better plan for cooler fall weather.

    I am hoping for 74 degrees at the weddng time (3:00pm) and in the 60's for dinner and dancing. For me 60's are COLD! I live in AZ. Its been so hot here I never thought about it. BUT the good part is most of the family is coming from the snowy parts, MO, NE, NC, Canada...so they may think 60 is great! Its just gonna be me who is cold! haha. But there may be a cold spell and only be in the 60s with 40s at night...I am hoping for a heat wave! Its an ourdoor wedding, so I have to be prepared for all of the elements, and when it is windy in Vegas it feels COLD! Every year we go at this time, since its the anniversary of when we met there, and I always need a jacket...once I wore a cute cocktail dress and I was really cold...its all a matter of mother nature. But I am monitoring the weather closely, they are having a hot weekend, then back into the 70's next week...so we will see!!
