Is it a bridesmaid, a sibling, the FMIL, or a vendor?
Right now, and really the only person in this process has been my mom. I love her to death and it's not like her to stress me out, but we fought on the guest list. She doesn't understand the concept of a small wedding. I am a bit embarrassed to say I gave in (I do like most of the cousins she insisted on), but honestly, I just wanted to shut her up because I couldn't stand hearing about it the next 3 months. I did let her know the four friends of mine that I had to scratch off the list to accomodate her whiny ways and I told her she better spend time talking to them. I told her it was over with and I never wanted to hear another word about it. It was a bit bi*$chy of me how I handled it, but I stuck to my guns as long as I could, but her crying got to me (plus, she was always worse about it after she would see them and we just got invited to a party for them, so I knew there would be another crying begging episode in the future).
And, my reception venue underwent new management and has a new event person to work with whom I contacted last week when the previous one let me know he was fired. This was important because we never signed a contract (it wasn't their way to do things), and I wanted to make sure they were still honoring dates. I was able to confirm my date along with time & # of people. However, it was the new person's first day on the job and he said he was trying to get everything in order and he was going to call everyone within the next 2 weeks and go over details. I told this all to my mom. Today she calls me to let me know that she happened to find out that another event was double booked at my venue (on a different date) and that I should probably do something to make sure this didn't happen to me. Really?! Did you need to tell me this when I just told you last week that we were ok on the reception, but would be going over details in the next week or two. Or, if you're so concerned, how about calling the venue yourself instead of making me now have a tinge of worry about the situation. It's essentially out of my hands anyway if that did happen. Grr...
