Dumb thing you are mad about?

arisia · May 2012

What's the dumbest wedding thing you are mad or miffed about? One of my good friends (J) took pictures at the wedding and reception. Last night, he emailed them to me and some friends. This morning, one of my other friends (K) uploaded them to facebook and tagged everyone.

I could get it if J did that, they are his pictures. But why the heck did K upload pictures she didn't even take? I'm obviously going to put all the wedding pictures into one big album later.

It's dumb but it just irks me and seems rude.

I was annoyed a little with the officient. We met with him Friday afternoon, but he said he didn't need to come to the rehersal. Well, while doing the vows, he had this long pause between H putting my wedding band on and my e-ring on. He should have just continued without this pause. I wanted to turn to him and say "WTF guy, get on with it!" There was no need for this pause, and I felt the significance was lost.

The other annoyance was when we were introduced, I asked the dj to fade into our first dance when we got to the dance floor. We had a dance prepared. We got to the dance floor, the entrance song kept going and I had to motion for him to go to our first dance.

Oh well! Everything else was perfect though

You're right, seems kind of rude.

My wedding isn't until next Saturday, but I'm super pissed off at FIL's (extended). I was guilted into inviting a bunch of his family to the bachelorette party (let's see if I can make this clear: His mom is one of 6. She has 2 sisters, M and A. M has one daughter, A has 8 children, 4 of which are girls. Daughter of M and one daughter of A appointed themselves flower girls for our wedding- mind you they are full-grown women, 21 and 22 years old, we'll call them An and R.) I invited An and R to the bachelorette party and FMIL asked if she could bring M and A. I said sure, why not. A then asks me if she could bring her 3 other daughters because she knows they would have a great time and they would feel left out, which btw, R is the youngest of all of them, so it's not like 25 year old women can't get over not being invited to the bachelorette partty for a wedding theya ren't in... but that's beside the point. I said that if she wanted to pay for them and it was ok with the establishment, fine whatver. That was the last I heard and that was about 2 weeks ago.

Just the other day I was told by FMIL that "oh btw, you know that none of them are coming, right?" No. I did not. "Oh yeah, they decided to all go to Cedar Point instead." C*CK S*CKERS!! Pardon my foul outburst.

im annoyed that several added expenses got charged to me...which i wasnt expecting. like 150 bucks to press my dress which most stores do free!! I already paid over 1300 for the dress to begin with...

I'm annoyed that FMIL wants a sweets table at our wedding. Guests are already getting cookie boxes with their escort cards, and she wants more sweets!

She even said to me, "not everyone likes cake" because we chose a wedding cake over the sweets table with our venue package.

At least she's paying for it, and we're not!

I'm annoyed that a lot of my supposedly really really close friends didn't even come to the wedding even after they said they were, and they havent even said congrats or text or call me at all. And the good friends that did come left so early!! That really bothers me.

The freaking knot seating chart is being a jerk. I changed the genders of my guests to reflect which meal choice they're having and the changes I made in my list aren't carrying over to my seating chart and I'm MAD. lol It was the easiest thing I could think of to send to my vendor and it's not workinggggggggg! Excel sheet it is...

I don't think I am "mad" about anything specific. Our DJ fell a little short of our expectations and that was a bit disappointing. He did a great job with the music for the most part but, there was an issue during the anniversary dance which took DH away briefly trying to correct the issue. Immediately after that, we were scheduled to cut the cake - but DH wasn't back inside the reception area yet. The DJ started our song and I was like, "ummm, DH isn't here so fade out and cue something else and we will do this after." The DJ ignored my repeated requests and DH missed about 1/2 of the song, while I stood by our cake with everyone watching and wondering wtf was going on.

I think the other thing that really surprised me were the guests that came and didn't even bring a card to congratulate us. We absolutely didn't want gifts (we didn't even register) but, to not even bring a card, that was irritating to me. It's not that hard to find something imo, and it's just polite to give the couple a card. I wanted those for our memory box!! Oh well, can't change people. HA

I was a little mad that our officient sped through the the rings part... she discussed the importance of the wedding bands and then she went right into the e-ring part and we just put them on each other... we never said with this ring I thee wed... which was supposed to be in our ceremony... I typed it up for her specifically.

I think she was just so overfilled with emotion after our vows, she did say it was the best ceremony she ever officiated...

Wedding isn't until Saturday but my mom is doing all my decorating (she's a professional wedding decorator and she's very good) and she assured me that when I arrived on Wednesday, she'd have the garlands done, the potted plants in their correct plants, escort cards done, and my wedding gown would be steamed and everything would be done and ready.

I got here yesterday and went to try on the gown (I had to get a new longline bra and wanted to make sure it was okay). My gown is nowhere to be found. I was seriously close to panic attack because I left my gown at my mom's house so I knew where it was. It was finally found....smashed into the back of a coat closet, still in the too-small garment bag and completely wrinkled. My mom says, "Oh, yeah....I forgot that's where I hung it. Your dad must have squashed it because he didn't know I put it in there"

This afternoon- I potted all the plants (which got purchased today, not last weekend, as promised). One sister helped finish the garlands and another sister wrote the table names on the back of each escort card (also supposed to be done by now).

All day she kept saying, "there's so much to do. we have soooo much to do" but she never would do any of it! Then she says she can't go to the brunch at my sister's house and go get her nails done with all the girls tomorrow because she has too much to do. But she still doesn't get busy doing any of it. I'm getting scratched up pulling grape leaves off the grapevines while she's on the phone with my grandma for an hour, just chit-chatting.

She finally asked me why I was so quiet this afternoon and I finally told her it was because I didn't want to yell at her and be a bridezilla but I was really irritated that all the stuff she promised to have done before I got here my sisters and I ended up doing this afternoon.

My mom is great, she really is, but she ends up with these HUGE ideas that are just not possible and then she gets frustrated and doesn't do any of it. At one point today, my dad said, "I think you're going overboard with this wedding."
I said, "Bride agrees!"
Mom went and pouted...and still didn't do any work.

Everything is done now, mostly. So there isn't an excuse to not go to the brunch and my FSMIL is coming to the brunch now, too, which is wonderful so now she'll have to entertain her so she can't say she's too busy to attend....

Just frustrated. Love my mom but I'm a little mad at her this week.
