MORE guest list BS

kevinandmonica2011 · April 2011

So.... Kev got a call last night from his Dad. Pops is all excited because Kev's brother, Chad (also our BM) met some girl (has not had a girlfriend in a looooong time) and may possibly have a first date with her today, tomorrow, this weekend, umm... never (this information was a little hazy)? So... Pops says "You may have another guest at the wedding."

Umm.... NO.

We decided a looooong time ago that "plus one" would include those married, engaged, living together, that sort of serious. No random screws. and definitely not someone we have never met whose first date with an actual invited guest may or may not even occur.

Kevin politely explained this to his father who responded with "then I'm not coming."

Are you f-ing serious? You're going to throw a tantrum because we are not inviting some random girl we've never met who your son hasn't even taken on one single date yet (who he may not even like, just thought she was "hot Russian chick").... so it's your other son's wedding vs random hot Russian chick.

I told Kevin if Chad approaches him about it in a "man I really love this girl and I really want her to be a part of the day" (which is unlikely)... then it's up to Kevin whether we make a special snowflake exception for him/her. But seriously, Pops... don't you think you're jumping the gun a bit demanding that she be invited or you're not coming.

What is wrong with people? lol.

Considering its FI's brother and hes in the BP unless this will throw off your budget or seating chart majorly you could make an exception if it came to.

We had the same plus 1 rule for guests but we told all in the bridal party they are allowed a date if they wanted. Considering the amount of time and money they put in to our day it was the least we could do.

Sounds like everyone is overacting in this situation and the kid hasn't even taken her on a date yet.

My thoughts exactly, I just kind of rolled my eyes when he asked (and figured it would blow over after a few days anyway), but when he pulled the "I'm not coming" card I was pissed... mostly because it really hurt Kevin that his father would even say somethnig like that.

Haha nice one pops.

Joshs BM asked to bring a date and I didnt want to say yes, hes kind of a man slut and I dont need some playmate at my wedding, but Josh insisted. Ok fine, so I sweetly explained to the BM that if his date wanted to sit for 30 min before and all during the ceremony alone, and then go to the cocktail hr alone, then eat dinner alone, all so she could rub up on him on the dance floor then take him home after....her problem.

But Im proud, man slut has a name a month before the wedding. Its a step up.

That sucks! Hopefully it will all blow over. FFIL is being pretty ridiculous.

lol.... funny thing is... he's really not a man whore.... which I guess is why everyone is so super excited that he might have a date. lol. If they keep this crap up, the family will be planning their wedding before the first date even happens and they'll scare the poor thing off.

Monica, almost this exact situation happened to my friend, only worse! Her wedding is in Aruba in two weeks and the day after she made her final call to set every last detail including begging her coordinator to let in 4 more guests than the maximum for the room (and NOT ONE more person could fit) the MOG told them that the groom's brother's new girlfriend (after one blind date and only a month after he broke up with his fiancee) would be coming to the wedding. When the bride and groom said no for the obvious reasons along with the room capacity ones, the MOG was so mad! They stood their ground, but then a few days later the MOG called and said too bad because new gf already has a ticket!

guest can bring anyone they choose there are no bride police rules or rules telling anyone who they can bring or not are you serious?
So if you invite people to your house for a BBQ and some turn up with someone you do not know you tell them they are not coming in?
GET SERIOUS

emierose · April 2011

ummm.. no carol sweetie, guests CANNOT bring anyone they choose, especially not last minute. Guests can only bring someone if you give them a PLUS ONE. If you did not give them a plus one, then that's that, get serious.
I sure hope you are a troll, please be a troll.

rsfan23 · April 2011

Emie-I think Carol is a troll. I don't know if you've been following some of the posts lately. If you look at the DJ recommendations post from the beginning of April, she's stirred up drama there too.
ETA the link to the post

kevinandmonica2011 · April 2011

Lol..... I JUST saw this crap from Carol.

Thanks Emie and Alyssa for the backup.

Sadly, Alyssa, I'm not 100% sure that she is a troll... maybe just a nut with no concept of ettiquette or formaility who likes to try to stir up drama. You know what's funny though... she is the same one who scoffed at karaoke b/c it wasn't formal enough... now she is on here lecturing me to allow every Tom, D!ck and Harry regardless of a guest list. Contradictory much?

Carol, sweeite, you are ridiculous. Please give it up. Your posts are so out of touch with reality that they are, at this point, comical. I hope you realize that you are becomming our entertainment... and I do mean that in a bad way.

And in response to your post, as Emie pointed out, only those inviated are... well... INVITED to be at the wedding. (I borrowed the unnecessary use of caps from you, thanks). So.... yes, a formal wedding with formal invitations and a formal guest list IS a little different from a backyard BBQ and those not formally INVITED should not ATTEND (unnecessary caps again).

Got it, pumpkin? Now scurry off and wait for another post to respond to with some total off the wall BS.

Carol aka Kevin must be low on bookings these days. They have a lot of time to troll
