Got home from a wedding a few hours ago that said the wedding started at 11:00 on the invitation only to find out the wedding was really scheduled for 12:45. Turns out they put that on an earlier start time so people would get there on time. Meanwhile, I left my house early to make to account for possible traffic since it was pouring this morning and arrived at 10:15. Of course, it wasn't their fault I was super early, but I take my punctuality seriously.
I..... WAS.... Pissed
Re: Don't mess with start times...
I'm the fuck out.
I am perpetually 15 minutes late. It's something I am working on (I now only average about 7-8 minutes late usually) and it's something most of my friends know about me (one even joked that my invitation would have a start time of 15 minutes earlier so I could be "late" and arrive on time - she didn't actually do that, and I was actually on time, though it was a squeaker since I got lost and the wedding was out of town). But even still, perpetually late person that I am, I make darn sure I am at weddings on time and even try to be at least 10-15 minutes early, if not more. I can forgive being a little late (since I'm guilty of it myself), but I can't forgive lying.
At our wedding a whole car of people didn't make it until an hour and a half after the ceremony started. It was a whole tables worth (8 people). They missed the ceremony, cocktails, and came in at the tail end of the lunch service. We all claped when they entered...they are always late!!! And not just 10 minutes late...hours late people. My MIL joked that we should send them an invitation that said the ceremony was Friday so they would show up on time Saturday. LMAO!
@kmmssg I never said it wasn't...in fact it really is rude. Mostly it was his side fo the family, but yeah...rude.
