Fucking wedding
god I am so sick of the bloody thing already. Less than 2 months to go, 1/2 the guests haven't bothered with RSVPs, so we have no idea about numbers, then my supposedly best friend just informed me she won't be coming as she's JUST decided to sell her house, so may need to move that weekend. I'm alternating between rage and self-pity, neither of which suits me.

can other wedding planning b3tans out there come and slap some sense into me and join me in bitching about shitty wedding shit?

(damn, I'm eloquent today! I blame the past 9 months without sleep)

Unless she is not buying another place,
and her as-yet-non-existant buyer has nowhere to sell, or no need of a mortgage, she will NOT be moving. Some things in life are certain, and this is absolutely, positively, 99% certain.

ooh, good luck
we said reply by june 30th, and gave them RSVP cards which they just need to put a stamp on and cross out a line on the back. Got about 4 back, one from my parents on which they asked us to provide them with larks tongue pate for food. Useful.

You have to phone everyone to double check
And then they will still drop out at the last minute. Invite some b3tans. Only 20% of the b3tans I invited dropped out.

Mind you, less than 2% of the other guests I invited dropped out.

- The mix of kids and grannys and mates mean you always look over your shoulder when saying jokes.
- Wearing a suit on a hot day, or it's raining and you can't smoke.
- Chaz and Dave
- Rubbish food, normally the frozen stuff is frozen solid, the cooked stuff is stewed, and there is always some cunt who insists everyone is kosha/vegan/nut-free.
- "Oh Mark, he's done so well for himself, since finishing university (he got a First, donchaknow) he went on to invent nucular fission and on the week end he and his beutiful girlfriend go cleaning oil off seals. I don't know where he finds time to do it, agmonst all the training (he's training for the olympics, donchaknow. Oh, didn't you know? He's going for everything, in line for 15 golds).

You don't prioritise moving house over your best friend's wedding. I'd be livid.

It's so annoying when people don't RSVP. In my parents' day that would mean you were blacklisted by the entire group, it just wasn't done.

It's bad enough that people don't tell you if they're coming to your birthday party or not, but a wedding is important shit.

I am outraged on your behalf.

Kitty is right
Doing your wedding list makes you re-evaluate who your friends really are and when they don't reply, well you know exactly what kind of friend they are.

Send them all an email saying that they can't come and that you do not expect them to turn up on the day.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 1 Jul 2010, 13:30, Reply)

I like that
I haven't started sending ours (my husband to be has a problem with deadlines and hasn't given my a number of people yet, so I can't order the invites)

But yes, I'll say, if you don't reply by the 8th of November (2 months before) you're off.

Not long at all - next week, argh!
I'm impatient, bored, hot, excited and terrified.

We were culling our guest list the other night. It seemed like a big enough venue until we listed everyone we should invite. Then we just listed people we liked and there were still too many.

A bit off of your best friend though. I wouldn't miss my best friend's wedding. Then again, I did miss my best friend's child's christening as I was abroad, but I didn't see that as a big deal (given that I'd already travelled from another country to see the baby, handmade her a patchwork quilt, and I'm an atheist so couldn't see the point of christenings, and one where the baby's father was already married with 2 kids and hadn't told his wife so he wasn't there either seemed a little hypocritical to me). She sulked with me for weeks.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Thu 1 Jul 2010, 13:41, Reply)

yes
the list making was fun, I listed all our friends, then culled that list. then family, culled that list. then my parents insisted on inviting their friends, even though they aren't paying for the fucking thing. managed to cull that list too.
still wish we could have eloped!
I would happily miss a christening, and we're planning a naming ceremony for sproglet at some point, which I fully expect only mrvitC, myself, and possibly a few aged rellies to turn up to. not a problem. weddings though, I make the effort!

good luck next week! go to the cinema and when you get home shag a lot, because it'll be a long while before you can do either again. (sob sob!)

As a Merkin I have a question for you. I am coming over to Merkinland in a couple of weeks and I don't know what drinks I should be ordering at the bar, or even if that's how you do things over there.

What's the best beer over there and when I order my drinks and give the barman money do I pay with a large bill and say keep the change or is it best to collect all my change and then leave a dollar a drink (I have read this is a reasonable amount to tip in most bars)

She does like older men.
Her last boyfriend was about 20 years older than her.

Oh, you just called me old
That was mean BGB, very mean.

You are.
She's only 20.

8th of January
Afternoon / Evening ceremony.

You will have to go to the church, and probably sit in the front, but I'm not sure yet about that.

In which hotel does she work? Are they big enough to host a wedding? We're still looking at places, so we could consider that one as well.

She works in the south. I'm assuming your wedding will be in the north of the Island?
I'm a bit worried about panic attacks in the church but if I take some pills I should be ok.

No, I want to do it in the south
The north will be too cold in January; although the North is pretier, I can do with some sunshine.

Nice
Can I contact her directly? Is it better through you?

I thought she might get a good commission if she organizes it, maybe.

Welcome
to my world.

I sorted it by texting everyone invited, who hadn't replied, saying something along the lines of "oi! you have now had enough time to sort yourself out with a stamp. Or there is an email address to RSVP to if you're lazy".

Less than 2 months for me too!

Shitty wedding shit is shittingly shit, sometimes. Is your mother being passive-agressive with a side order of persecution complex and a sliver of neurotic on the top? Mine is.

And you have absolutely every right to be angry about your friend - she's known about your wedding date for ages presumably, and she can easily move one weekend later.
