Shit!
Some of my family members where on the phone with my mother yesterday, telling her off because the date and place of the wedding doesn't suit them (shouting and being nasty, you know?)

I sent them a mail today, but I wanted it to be very soft and nice, and non agressive, so I sent it to my brother first for approval, with a silly subject, like "What do you think of this?" or so, a bit in a rude way, but he's my brother.

We made some changes, making sure everything was smooth and soft, and I forwarded it to my family. Without changing the subject. Fuck. They're going to be upset. It changes the whole meaning of the mail, as it opens it in a rude, upset way.

Crap.

When did you last fuck it trying to be good?

What would suit your family about your wedding?
With the stress over the hen weekend and now this, I'd be tempted to just go to the registry office if I were you.
(, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 12:07, Reply)
I've been so tempted so many times already
They want me to do the wedding in their village (miles away from anywhere) and not on a holiday period.

They've had 6 months to say something. Why wait until everyone's bought tickets and the deposit is paid?
(, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 12:10, Reply)
Don't forget it's you who is getting married. Not them.
You don't have to yeild to their whims. It's your big day, so do what you want, get married where you want at a time you want.

You're marrying an English lad yes?
Are his family kicking off about having to jump on a plane to witness the happy occasion?

Maybe remind them that other are happy to put the effort in to attending, that might prompt them to put up and shut up.
(, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 12:15, Reply)
No, they aren't
But my family replied that we chose the place so that it was easy for the English to go there and didn't think of anyone else. Because it's my fault that they live in the deepest, uncomunicated part of Spain.

(, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 12:32, Reply)
Well, I said
They replied that would have been better, because they've been in Tenerife so many times and only a couple in England (that said in front of my parents and brother, who still live in Tenerife, travel EACH year to visit them, and have only recieved less than a dozen visits from all of them in total in 30 years)

And it wouldn't have been easier, contrary to what they think, as they live miles away from any reasonable airport.

Emails can be read in many ways
Don't worry about it. If they get annoyed by it, its their problem, not yours. Worst case scenario, they don't come to the wedding and moan all day about the food/hotel/dress/cake.....

If they want to get upset they will no matter what. But I just put so much care on that mail for nothing...

Surely if everything in the email
is much nicer and politer than just the subject line, they'll read it in the way you meant it to sound. Why should they be cross? It's your fucking wedding and if your family can't quit bitching about what suits them rather than you then they should go dangle.
