QOTD 6/8

minionlover · June 2012

What is the most annoying thing people ask about your wedding?

AG2AF=2012 · June 2012

To see my dress!!

Its supposed to be a surprise...come to the wedding if you want to see it!!! GOSH!! Sorry...it just bothers me. I want people to be totally taken back by it when the church doors open. I don't want people to be like "ohhh I already saw it."

snuff9861 · June 2012

How much things cost. NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

cbear215 · June 2012

The guest list! People asking if so and so is invited, or assuming that they are.

aimee58 · June 2012

"Are you ready yet?" No, I'm not ready. I probably won't be ready unti lthe day before the wedding in terms of things that need to get done. I have one friend that I see occassionally and every time she asks me "So are you ready for the big day?" grr....

ktelizabeth86 · June 2012

Not questions so much as just statements. We're getting married in a barn and I hate when people say:

1. "I'm wearin' my jeans!"
2. "I'm glad your not having a fancy wedding and just doing a Cecil County hoedown." (Trust me that's an insult. The county I live in is nicknamed Ceciltucky.)

It's not really a big deal and I know the people saying they are wearing jeans are just joking, but it drives me crazy that no one else can see my vision. I'm not going for hoedown (not that there is anything wrong with a good old fashioned hoedown - just not for my wedding). I'm going for classy, vintage and RUSTIC. Oh well, I guess they'll all just be surprised.

minionlover · June 2012

"Youre having a REAL wedding?" and "Youre wearing a REAL wedding dress?"

As opposed to what...a fake wedding and a fake dress? It all stems from this being my second marriage. I mean its not like we are having a huge wedding. Its a simple wedding on the beach with about 20 people. I feel like people think that since its our second marriage we are supposed to just hop on down to the courthouse and be done with it. People can be so annoying.

Haha yea, but I'm having my wedding in PA kinda where I'm from...

I need to add I have a ceciltucky t-shirt. I embrace it, I love the country.

pockysquirrel · June 2012

My coworkers are forever asking me "So how's the planning going?" And I never have a good answer because none of them are invited so I'm trying not to engage in too much wedding talk at work or share too many details with them. It always ends up as this awkward "Um...it's going?" because I don't know what else to say, LOL.

Posted by mana8503[/QUOTE]

We are having our wedding in Wilmington. I agree - I too love the country and am proud to be, dare I say, a bit of a hillbilly lol, but I hate that people think that means my wedding will be hoedown style (although I am wearing cowgirl boots and there will be country music - maybe it is confusing for people lol).

This past weekend we went to the Ceciltucky Rodeo at the Chesapeake Inn to ride the mechanical bull . . . haha.

CarolineandDean · June 2012

It's starting to get annoying when people ask me about the "details". My dress, decor, and favors are off limits!! I want that stuff to be a surprise so my guests are that much more excited when they see it all in person, instead of listening to me blab about it.

brainybrunette · June 2012

The most annoying questions revolve around my "father" (i use father in quotes because he's never been a father to me) who has never been a part of my life, we never met, and I found out that he died a few years ago.

Before FI and I were even engaged, people woud ask what I was going to do about walking down the aisle or who I was going to do a daddy daughter dance with.

After FI and I got engaged, no one asked me those questions to my face but I could hear the whispering about it.

If someone does ask me now, I say that my mother is giving me away and that I'm dancing with my uncle. Don't worry the wedding police aren't going to come and arrest me because I don't have a father to be involved. That usually shuts them up!

mana8503 · June 2012

I hate when people ask why I'm having my wedding in PA. FI's family and half of my family is in NC... but I live in MD, grew up in PA! i'm not planning a wedding from that far away...Venue is about an hour from my hometown because there's really no venues close to us because I live in the boonies. I love my venue so whatever, come if you want! /rant

My dad is from NC, mom from WV... I come from a long line of redneck hillbillies! I'm trying to blend the country life with a classic wedding too. Although no cowboy boots, but there maybe some linedancing!

It's been a few years since I rode a mechical bull!

PPs have said this, but anything about cost or "is ___ invited?".

Ugh. This. It may not be my first wedding, but it is HIS first wedding. He has just as much right to making it a big day as anyone.

achiduck · June 2012

I hate when people ask if I'm having a big wedding or a small wedding. It's kind of like they're trying to find out if they're invites in a sneaky way.

mlperkins12 · June 2012

I guess I have to go with anything related to cost. No matter how close we are, that is private.

<div>This made me laugh. Those sneaky people! But I do feel the same way. Whenever people figure out that we are getting married they ask how big of a wedding and I have to explain its big but only because my mom is one of 8 kids, who all have kids (adults) who are having or have kids and that my FI family is divorced so its twice the size.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, anything related to cost. We are having a budget wedding, and to me its really not ALL about the wedding cost and looks but more about our actual marriage and the life AFTER the wedding. Not that I don't want it to look pretty, but its not all about the money here.</div>

goatlady12 · June 2012

I get annoyed when people who recently got married ask me how much things cost. I don't mind talking about how much my wedding is costing, what I hate is their follow-up comments, "You got taken." or "That's way too much, I got a way better deal."
I just want to look at them sometimes and say, "Yeah I could tell your cake was cheaper, it tasted like a frosted buttholes." But I bite my tongue.

megangaydos27 · June 2012

Asking about how much it's costing, why we chose our location or making suggestions w/o taking cost into consideration. Asking if they can bring a guest with them. Everyone seems to have an opinion on what we should do lol.

Iryshcreem · June 2012

I constantly get asked why I'm having my wedding in PA instead of NJ. Because I loved this venue isn't a good enough answer, I let them know that I"m sick of all these gawdy NJ weddings. That usually shuts them up. No offense to my fellow NJ girls (I don't feel that way about all the catering halls in NJ

)

jonesma204 · June 2012

IF THEY ARE INVITED!

(and of course it's ppl i'm NOT inviting that ask, never the ppl I am)...

also, not really a question, but when people assume they are invited... that it the wedding question/thing that annoys me the most!

TCbride1 · June 2012

"What are your colors?" I don't know why this bugs me, but it's seriously the FIRST thing people ask me! I didn't choose "colors" until I met with our florist recently (our BMs are wearing gray), so I had no answer to give them. They acted like it was the most important part of the wedding!

ivedonethisb4 · June 2012

I always get asked are you ready for the big day? Ugh yeah ready as in wanting it to be here..ready as in everything planned and done....HECK NO!

pengy16 · June 2012

Mine is that they want to do everything/plan it for me because their version of my wedding is soooo much better!

I get the "oh well i can do this for it" or "i have this connection for this you should totally use" or start telling me what I should do at my wedding, or how I should do it or even just what they are going to do planning wise for my wedding.

My MOH and her mom said before we got engaged they wanted to help plan the wedding, well as soon as we set a date and started the planning all of a sudden my ideas were not good enough and they started planning mode on how things should be done. I told them my venue requires a caterer (originally they wanted to do all the food before we picked anything), their response: "oh well we will bring the food in so it doesnt matter" and then continued to try to plan my menu without my input.

I havent told them much about my wedding planning because they got angry with what I had picked so far plus they didnt get the point of them not doing the food so they will be pissed to know I have a caterer already lined up...

Its not just them, my mom now thinks that I want/need a harpist for the wedding... um no. She even offered to pay for it but its making the wedding more traditional instead of casual like I want. Oh and apparently mason jars are my new theme...

MelyndaRyan · June 2012

Not totally wedding related but its Constant - so how long are you going to wait to start a family.
UGH!

CFM102012 · June 2012

Mine is just one person but a lot from her. FSIL (a BM) is being miss negativity. Other than stuff she needs to know I've gotten to where I don't tell her about wedding stuff. In trying to be easy going I told my BM's to just get LBD's. She ended up going to Davids and buying a dress (dress #3 that she found). She told me she wished I'd just picked a dress b/c she'll probably still only wear it once. She's kind of negative on the whole idea that I'm actually taking their last name ("she'd never give up her name"). Last week she was over and we and some other friends went to one of those places where you pick out a piece of pottery and decorate it. I chose a plate and I put FI's last name really big in the middle of it with his first name above and mine below both smaller. Around the rim is our wedding date. When FSIL looked to see what I was doing, she (in a negative tone) said "You've got wedding on the brain". Of course I do, it's only 4 1/2 months away!

When my sister got married last month she gave me a bracelet that came with a little silver jewelry box. She got it engraved with what will be my married name (well, that was the intent, the engraver screwed it up though). FSIL said she was going to search my stuff to see how much I had with my married name. Once I pick up the plate it will be two and one of those is a screw up. I wish FSIL would lay off.

Sorry...I didn't mean to turn this into a vent...I feel better now though.
