Snarky Brides

Can't Wait to Update You on This Wedding

Do any of you remember the invite I posted a few months ago with the heart sticker?  We had a good laugh :)

Well, the weekend is finally here!  Last night was the "Bachelor Party" (I use the term loosely because it was basically just our circle of friends minus the bride)  And this wedding is going to be awesome, and by awesome I mean interesting and probably weird.

Last night I picked up Groom's brother at the airport and apprently bride isn't shy, she's just a bitch.  Not only is the wedding outside, in IL at 5 pm, but the poor groomsmen have to wear black suits. Its suppose to be in the upper 80s, I hope no one dies.  When brother mentioned to her some other options (khakis and ties, or even light suits, she freaked out)

She didn't want a DJ because that would be too formal for the reception (DJs are formal?) so they are plugging in a Zune, with a playlist she made, and its all country.  No variety, and its not like you can request a song if you want to hear it.  And if I understood correctly from the MOG, the music is inside, so I'm not sure what will happen outside for the ceremony.  I also want to note, ipod receptions can be okay, IMO, if someone is watching the music player.  Don't just leave it and hope for the best.

Also, we are eating kabobs, and I think someone they know is grilling them at the park. This makes me nervous because I like to know who is cooking my food.  Its not like a restaurant where everything is clean and sanitary, we're outdoors, at a park.  Which, I guess its good they are feeding us.  Originally she didn't want any food or music or anything.  I guess, just cake and small talk? 

Needless to say, it might be an early night.  All my friends are crashing at our place, so that will be fun.

Do I sound incredibly judgy?  This whole wedding is just freaking me out.

  • No not judgy, maybe you can make it an early night with your friends and have some fun.

    I never have understood some people, if you dont want most the stuff that constitutes a wedding just JOP and get it over with. Why make everyone else miserable.

  • You wouldn't have liked my wedding at all :) Our iPod reception consisted of country music, there wasn't any dancing though so I'm sure no one felt the need to request any songs. We left it and hoped for the best, and there were no issues. Our food was cooked by aa few church ladies, and it was amazing.

    I don't think you sound judgy, just unsure of how it's going to turn out. I'd just try to gon in with an open mind and try to have fun.

  • Oh good! No one was responding I was getting self conscious!

    That's what Groom's brother said.  They rushed a wedding because she was so excited to be engaged, then when she started planning she hated everything.

    My main concern is the food, I love food but I'm afraid to eat something grilled in a public park by someone I don't know.  What if its not refrigerated properly or something?

    And this means because we didn't have a DJ and a restaurant/catered meal I should have just JOP'ed it?

    But your food was cooked inside.  Its the whole outdoors that freaks me out the most.

    I wasnt referring to the Ipod, just her approach to the whole wedding. We had an Ipod, I think they are fine.

    This girl doesnt seem to want to <strong>do </strong>any of it.

    I took that comment as once the excitement of the engagement wore off, she didn't like planning the wedding.

    They sent out STDs so they sort of had to have the wedding.

    HA! I work for an insurance company and I see inspections that come through on restaurants. You're just adorable for thinking everything in a restaurant is clean and sanitary.
  • I see your point. Hopefully it will be ok!

  • For what it's worth Whit there was a lot of attention to detail at your wedding. This girl just doesnt seem into the whole wedding thing. Like it was just thrown together.

    I know, I like to think positive when I eat out :)


    Ladies, I hate to bitch and run, but i have to go to work. I'll let you know how it goes.  If anything, its great to see my friends again, everyone lives far away, so its nice to get together.  Even for an awkward wedding!

  • ziti, it's funny you bring that up! The outdoors hotdog/hamburger stand on our town square got a better health score rating than the nice Italian restaurant did! When we hit up the stand, we always joke we better have our tums ready. Well, we were sure proved wrong!

  • Oh lordy.  The food issue bugs me too, especially outside in the heat.  Recipe for food poisoning, here's your card.
  • I would also be worried about the food. Aside from the outdoors thing, cooking for a lot of people is different than cooking for a few. I am sure Whit's church ladies regularly cook for church outings, so they knew what they were doing. Large quantities of meat, outdoors, from some one who is not familiar with big crowds is worrisome.
  • The outdoors food thing bothers me too... not only keeping things the right temp, but what are they planning on cooking everything on? I really hope they aren't planning on using the charcoal grills that are in the park, because that will take forever, and personally I think they are gross. No matter how much you clean them before cooking on them, they are still gross.

  • That would weird me out as well with the food.  I would eat before you go.

    Restaurants are not always clean and safe, but at least they are checked out and held to some kind of standard and its handlers take some kind of serve safe certification (in most cases).  Its alot better than Uncle Bobby taking meat out of a cooler and slapping it on a grill.

    I can understand the concern.
