BF's good friend is getting married in 2 weeks. He has been friends with this guy since elementary school. He's not my favorite person in the whole world but I am happy for him and actually pretty excited for the wedding (I love a chance to get dressed up!). However BF's brother and other friend (who have also known him since elementary school) seem to be determined to be those guests we always hear brides complaining about - the attention whores, who act/dress completely inappropriately at the wedding.
First, they have decided they want to get top hats to wear to the wedding. That's a stupid idea for really any wedding but this wedding isn't even a formal wedding. It's at 1:00 in the afternoon, cake & punch reception in the church gym. BF and I tried to sway them from this idea (and were hoping they were kidding anyway) by telling them that top hats are super expensive so they might as well nix the idea. Well they start looking it up on their own phones and are like "well this one is only $30 blah blah blah". It became pretty clear they are not at all kidding and actually think this is a good idea. They actually got pissed off at me for mentioning that I didn't think it was appropriate. I literally said "I'm not sure a top hat is really appropriate for this wedding" and they got super offended.
Second, they want to sneak alcohol into the wedding. The friend getting married is very religious and the entire wedding (ceremony and reception) are taking place at the church. BF's friend has said repeatedly that she doesn't think she can make it through the wedding without alcohol and plans on drinking beforehand and sneaking alcohol in. All of this because she is insanely jealous that this guy is getting married before her. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Third, they keep saying they are going to ask the bride if she is pregnant at the wedding because the whole relationship has moved very quickly (dating, engaged, and married all under a year). Not that this question would ever be appropriate but they have never met this girl!
I'm sure once the day of the wedding comes they will drop all of this nonsense but it's so clear that all of their negativity is coming from the fact that they are jealous this friend is getting married before them. I'm so sick of them discussing how they are going to make jackasses out of themselves at this wedding! It's been the focus of conversation every time we've hung out with them for like the past month!
I guess even if they do act this way I will pretend not to know them and silently judge them while I eat my cake.
ETA: Sorry this is so long, obviously I've kept this vent pent up for too long!
