Re: S/O: What is the rudest comment someone has made about your wedding?
- I hope you lose weight before the wedding (and tons of other comments about my weight)
- What are you going to write for your speech? Who are you going to thank? You better thank us! Me: Of course Her: I don't know... I'll be honest, I don't trust you to write an appropriate speech so you better send it to me to approve first. (I have two degrees... I'm sure FH and I can write a thank you speech).
- I'm getting a hair trial done to make sure my hair is perfect for the wedding. Me: Oh, should I get one? I don't know if I'll have time (we fly in 5 days before the wedding and that week is packed of stuff already) Her: oh you don't need one, but I need to make sure my hair is perfect. (um... her hair is more important?)
- She has a bright dress and lots of blingy jewelry to wear for the wedding and I have a fairly simple dress, no veil and simple jewelry. When I commented that she will be more fancy than me, she rolled her eyes and said that it's her day too.
Sigh...
My FH and I live in by a major city in our home state. My family is scattered while majority of his family is on the opposite side of the state from us. We looked at venues by his hometown, by my hometown, between the two, by us and even considered places no where near us in our state. We finally decided on a venue about 45 mins south of where we live because we get the lakefront as the downtown area which we wanted but at a fraction of the cost since we are out of the city. I have heard nothing but complaints from FH's family because it.is costing them all this money to drive there, and pay for a hotel. I did snap and say that they are lucky I did it our state period because for a hot second I contemplated doing a destination wedding in TN or AL.
I have also had a lot people, friends, coworkers and even vendors we considered, tell me that I shouldn't have any thing beyond beer hosted, no vegetarian options besides sides, nor should I worry about allergies of VIPs(FMIL is allergic to tree nuts). Most vendors told me I was crazy to consider doing full open bar because people will take advantage.
Meanwhile i'm biting my tongue because we tried so hard to have a wedding of that price and it just was not possible for our venue and the amount of people we wanted to invite. and sure, we would love to do the huge honeymoon thing, or put it towards a house.
Then when we went to David's Bridal for a friend to try on dresses for her wedding, one of our mutual friends kept going on and on about how generic the dresses are and how you can't "reuse" them as a cocktail dress and meanwhile I'm sitting there thinking "my dress is from this store....glad that everyone apparently will be thinking about how generic it looks" Especially since she had literally JUST seen me in mine as my fitting was the same time frame.
Is this a thing? I mean i grew up Catholic, and I always learned that the ONLY way to have a full Catholic ceremony that would be recognized in the Church was to get married in a Catholic Church. It sounds like what you're describing is actually more of a non-denominational wedding. So if FI's parents are serious Catholics - that may not fly with them. Obviously it's not about them, it's about you, but i just wanted to let you know that i don't think that what you're describing can actually be considered a Catholic wedding.
