June 2013 Weddings

Ugh! People are so rude!

So at work, the girls were asking me about the wedding and the colors and such. I always carry around this little notebook that fits in my purse to write down ideas for the wedding and things like that so I wont forget them and I had stuck ribbon in it that are our colors. So when they asked about colors, I showed them the ribbon. Our main color is orange, with pink and yellow accents. FI and I, as well as immediate family and all those included in the planning, love our color choices. Their faces were pure shock. Apparently our color choices are, "ugly" and "terrible"...I found that to be extremely rude. One lady even suggested I hire a planner because my wedding was going to look terrible. They criticised my choice of flowers, dress, even bridesmaids, because I am apparently a terrible person to not have my older sister as a MOH. I couldn't and still can't believe the things these woman said. I would expect this from a child or possibly even a teenager, but these women are my mothers age! I have worked with these women going on three years now and I just did not expect this.

Re: Ugh! People are so rude!

  • Well I guess we know who you WON'T be inviting then LOL

    Seriously, don't mind these people! What is awesome to one person is terribad to another. Everyone is entitled to their opinion however the thing they forget is that they provided it at the worst of times. I'm sorry and embarassed on their behalf and I don't even know them! (Although I'm sure if you take a look at their wedding photos, it should proivde you with some laughs...)

    Personally, I have seen wedding stuff with your colours and I am in awe and fascination at how cheery, fun and playful it looks (from the photos I've seen online) I'm sure the way you design your wedding with convey the feelings/tone of everything!

    At the end of the day, do what makes you and the FI happy!  Hugs!

    Ignore the haters, Sugar!! Your wedding is going to be so cheery and adorable with those colors!!

    And from now on, just give them a vague "Oh, you know, it's coming along" sort of response when they ask about wedding plans.

    Also, sometimes mentally sticking my tongue out at people like them helps me out. :)
  • ...That's crazy, who would tell a bride these things!??

    Im so sorry to hear that Sugar, like PP said the colors are so cheerful.  I actually LOVE those colors but there was no way I would convince FI to go with those colors, he hates pink especially.  I originally wanted pink and orange at one time but that was turned down pretty quickly by him... 

    How bout you share with us your dress and bridesmaids and flowers so we can tell you how pretty your wedding is going to be :-)

  • I completely understand that everyone has their own opinion, I just felt like maybe they shouldn't have voiced theirs.

  • wow! OMG this happened to me too awhile back. I feel like people ask about your wedding just to pick it apart. smh personally I would tell them to go play in traffic lol but that's just me. A ex co-worker told me my ring was plain and common...I asked her where hers was and she didn't have one. I simply told her that I guess they are not that common HA!

  • Yes, people are incredibly rude. I LOVE the colors, but my FI would never go for them, and I think your wedding will look beautiful with those colors. I would keep all wedding talk to a minimum and def dont invite them!

  • How awful! I'm so sorry you had to go through this Sugar. :( Some people love to bring people down...Just refrain from talking to them about anything with the wedding. If they want to be rude, well don't let it be at your expense!

  • That's so mean!  I really don't think they should have said that to you, especially since you are obviously pretty far into the planning process!  I love those colors and I think they are perfect for summer!  I know how you feel though, my sister is really negative about everything that has to do with my wedding.  She totally tore apart my wedding photographer, and she hates my wedding colors (yellow and white) - she refuses to wear a yellow bridesmaid dress even though I've had that color picked out since I was little.  I've learned that I can't talk to her about my wedding at all.  I usually just call my maid of honor and she's always really excited about my ideas.  Or I come on here!  I love how supportive everyone is on The Knot!  Just come here and share all your ideas next time!

  • That's ridiculous! Those colors are awesome, I was actually considering using pretty much that same scheme myself. Either way, they had NO right to criticize your choices like that. Some people act like their parents taught them NO manners. SMH! Don't worry about them.

  • Wow! So rude. Sorry you had to go through that. Some people are unbelievable. I agree with PP's - don't talk wedding with them again. I think your color scheme sounds great and your wedding is going to be beautiful. :)

  • Thanks ladies! Ya'll always make me feel better :)

    And no, these ladies probably wont be invited. But then again, I could invite them only to rub it in their face because our wedding is going to be awesome!

  • Yup, people are rude!  Those were actually my colors, until we went with blue/green instead, FI really wasn't feeling it.

  • That's just awful. I'm sure there are people who don't agree with everything I'm planning on for our big day, but I really don't care. At the end of the day, it's up to me and my FI. I encourage you to take the same stance on it. Don't let their opinions get to you. They probably had ugly weddings and are jealous of how awesome yours is going to be. :)
