How do I tell people to leave the celebrities alone at our wedding?

winelover123 · April 2013

There are few celebrities I can identify by myself unless someone else points them out. Put something on your website, and I would be brushing up on my celebrities. I'm wondering who the celebrities are too....

I think y'all scared OP away

I want to know who these "famous" guests will be too!

Uhhh...you don't say anything. Why do you think your guests are going to bother the celebrities?

A very close relative of mine married someone relatively famous--he starred for a season or two on a very popular show just before they got married. His colleagues attended the wedding, and I'm talking about A-list celebrities--people that everybody knows and would easily recognize. Not one person bothered them, and my family is hardly what you'd call tactful. My relative never asked anybody to "leave them alone," because she didn't have to. People know they're attending a wedding and not a celebrity meet and greet. I would hope you could trust your guests to exhibit the same courtesy as my relative's did...

Uggghhh, the Zipper!!! The last time I was on it when I was about 12 or 13 I was rising with a 20 something firefighter I had a huge crush on. (I was there with a big group of firefighters including my dad, and their families) Well, I am a scrawny little thing and my baggie tshirt flew up over my head somehow. Not only could I not see anything, because of the movement of the ride I wasn't able to pull my shirt back down to cover my non-existent chest. I was beyond mortified, and have never been on the Zipper again!

OP, nobody is as impressed with your possible celebrities as you are, they fart just like everyone else. . . . there is nothing about them different from your other guests, except that they may potentially be more well recognized. We are all vastly more impressed with possibly lethal carnival/boardwalk/fair rides that we have grown to chicken sh*t to ride as adults. . . . .please share your favorite.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:How do I tell people to leave the celebrities alone at our wedding?: Yep. It was at some children's benefit dinner during his Young Hercules days. The irony being that it was a swanky formal dinner without any "children" in sight aside from myself and my friend, whose grandma was on the Board of Trustees, Ryan Gossling and the other guy who was his costar, can't remember his name but he was a couple of years older, and this 9 year old girl that they were honoring for something. I had a huge crush at that point and bragged to all my friends about meeting him. They looked at me like I was an alien because they were far too cool to watch Young Hercules and had no clue who he was. Years later, when the Notebook came out, I was all "psssh, I was crushing on him before anyone else even knew who he was."

I loved Young Hercules. And that show about high school on a cruise. I used to watch it every Saturday morning!

BostonGIrl4732 · April 2013

Thanks! That was driving me crazy! He was my favorite character...

Sjmiller418 · April 2013

I just want to know who the celebrities are! Like are we talking brad pitt, justin beiber, taylor swift level celebrities or like cast members of ABC family shows lol.

They're people too and they deal with fans all the times, no warning needs to be given.

MuppetFan · April 2013

I think celebrities know how to deal with people. I went up to Dave Foley in the airport to tell him I was a fan. I didn't try to shake his hand out of respect. I don't think he gets much attention anymore because he totally grabbed me, shook my hand and led me (by the hand) to another room and introduced me to the entire cast of Kids in the Hall and he would not stop talking to me and was sad that we weren't on the same flight. It was totally random and awesome....but I really was only planning to tell him I was a fan and walk off.

So I imagine that if guests are going to say anything, they might just give a compliment or a smile or strike up a conversation and let the celebrity guide them... but hopefully they will be respectful.

AddieCake · April 2013

Every time I have gone to NYC, I have seen a celebrity. I sat next to Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman at a Broadway show once. Nobody approached them for autographs or pics, not even me, sitting right next to them. I also saw a Baldwin in Central Park that nobody bothered. I did see someone ask Vanessa Williams for an autograph on the sidewalk in the theater district, though. She rudely said no and kept walking. I was no longer a fan after seeing that.

BaffledMother · April 2013

When my brother got married, it was a small but elite wedding. He had security at the gate and only people on the "list" were allowed in. I would assume if your wedding is to have celebrities, there would also be security. Allow them to handle the matter. I would think your guests will be awestruck but will also know to behave appropriately. Unless they are the "Beverly Hillbillies", in which case I don't think anything you do will help.

Hire security and arm them with paintball guns.

You can't. I'd assume that celebrities attending private events do know how to fend off requests for autographs or other attention that rightly belongs to the honorees.

By the way, Addie-Gravitron.

I love that show too! And I had a bit of a crush on Ryan Gosling back then, but my sister told me that I was an idiot and he was hidious . . . and then the Notebook came out and everything changed.

[QUOTE] Dear UIPs (Unimportant Guests), as you are all probably aware because I bring it up a lot, Fiance has several famous friends, and we rub elbows with them all the time. I know none of your are so special or lucky to mingle with celebreties, and it can be hard to remember when you are satr struck, but please do not harass the celebreties for photos or autographs. They are at our wedding to have a nice time, and we don't want our friends to embarass us by behaving like a bunch of drooling fans. Thanks for your cooperation! Or you could just not say anything and trust your friends to act like adults instead of tweens at a Justin Bieber concert.

[QUOTE]I think it sounds quite presumptuous. Will there be someone doing security at your wedding due to alcohol being served? Let them know and if they see someone being a pest, that person can intervene.

I appreciate everyon's words. I took some advice and already verbally spoke to the people who are stupid enough to try to get their FB filled. I have security assigned and alerted to observe for it. No they are not local newscast, but I agree that would be funny.
