Crazy family members ?!?!?!

Julie, on December 8, 2013 at 7:20 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 23

At marriage counseling the minister asked if we have any crazy family members that may make a scene. He wanted to know so he could put them in check if need be. Anyone worried about a family member doing something weird at the wedding? I hadn't thought of this lol

    We don't have any who are alive anymore. 10 years ago, yes, we would've. :-)

    But we have two significant others of FH's family. One husband and one bf. One does drugs (think meth and coke) and is a serious loser. The bf is also a loser, and gets drunk and is controlling.

    The cops on duty will know who they are.

    Not crazy but I am concerned that some of my country cousins may bring to-go containers and slippers to the reception.

    Yes but they are not invited. One is FH's mother that he has not talked to in a few years. She knows we are getting married but not when or where. The others are on my side. One drinks too much, the others due to very bad drama.

    I have off duty Texas Rangers working the wedding.

    FH's grandma and little sister.there has been nothing but drama from them.they aren't invited but I'm afraid FH's dad might tell the sister who would in turn tell the grandma.also doesn't help that sister lives with dad. I wouldn't put it past her to intercept the invite.My little sister as well no one gets along with her but I have to invite her if I want my nieces there.

    Yes. Mainly just FBIL because FH is changing his last name before the wedding so brother will be the only one left with his birth name. We're not sure how he's going to take it.

    And then there's that coworker who keeps mentioning how "trashed" she's going to get...=/

    I'm sure someone will do something weird, but nothing serious or that would require law enforcement.

    I think, honestly, that is a really insulting question for a minister to ask you, if it was asked in that way.

    He's a cool guy. His point was that it's easier for him to say something as he doesn't have to spend the holidays with them and that could make things awkward for us in the future. I appreciated him being so blunt when asking... I don't have time for sugar coated questions at this point.

    Anyone that crazy was not invited. The only person invited from my moms side of the family was my grandma and she left after the ceremony.

    The only thing that worries me it's my mom showing up in a white dress. She did at my sister's wedding and I was embarrassed for her! I told her that was absolutely not ok at my wedding.

    YES! I'm not sure she'll show up and if she does, who knows what will happen. Sad thing is this is my mom I'm talking about :-(

    My aunt. I really don't want her there because she is soooooo rude and always has to make a scene. However FH says she may not even come bc of our location so I'm hoping he's right! That'd be grand!

    Yes and both are my parents... the rest of my troublesome family isn't invited. FH is having his friend be a bouncer in case they get out of hand.

    My dad is schizophrenic, I love him and am planning on having him walk down the aisle, I am just hoping that his really sensitive disposition at his oldest getting married will cause him not to make any kind of ruckus since he doesn't agree with my and FH's religion (Catholicism)

    Also FH's mom is crazy and threw him out of the house when he was a teenager and she lives on drama, gahhh!

    I think that it should all work out anyway

    I was worried my MIL or her sister my start something with my FIL-- they've been divorced for years, but she's so bitter you'd think it happened yesterday! It was part of the reason we decided not to serve alcohol-- better to have everyone sober. Smiley sexy In the end, though, everyone behaved wonderfully.

    FH's heinous stepdad. He's not "crazy" per se, he's just a terrible person who in addition to being a total tool lacks social graces and a filter. He also needs to be the center of attention at all times, including at people's weddings. We're hosting a DW so there will be several days of "togetherness" with our guests and FH and I have already decided if his stepdad's antics end up getting him ostracized from the rest of the group we won't be stepping in to mitigate any disasters. My family has never met FH's Mom and Stepdad but have all been briefed on possible scenarios and will handle him however the situation deems appropriate. We hope for once in his life he can just go with the flow and not act a fool. We'll see.....

    I'm convinced FH grandmother hates me. So I wouldn't put it past her to screw things up.

    stupid bitch.

    I only have to worry about my mother and her drama. My SIL will probably show up in a nice top and gym shorts again and I will want to send her home. I will be to busy enjoying myself to care.
