Dumb things people say

If your grandmother wants you to wear it then this "friend" doesn't have a leg to stand on. Do what makes you and your grandma happy.

Dude, you should have slapped her LOL! I'm sure your grandmother feels so happy that you get to wear her rings plus be her with you when you get married. People are so stupid sometimes!

I would of slapped her..lol... your grandmother wanted you to have that so that is very special. People can be so ignorant...

Yeah, that's crossing a line. My mom gave me her first set after she got a upgraded one and if we needed to, I would have been fine with wearing it. It is special, regardless of the living factor!

Recently, I went to the Clinique counter at Macy's to cash in on a free lip-gloss coupon I had. I don't know how I got it, one of the bridal shows I went to or something. Anywho, she said they like to set you up with a series of "bridal consultations" where they do your make up with their products for your big day. It costs $ of course. I said, oh, I don't really need that because I have a make up artist for my day of. The sales lady replied, "Oh, that's a shame". My MOH was with me and her jaw dropped right in front of the lady. Why is it a shame that I am lucky enough to have someone else way more qualified than me to do my makeup that day? Dumb bish.

Forget slapping...I'da knocked a b**** out! That is very ignorant of her to say. I would've been honored to have something like that.

Wow, the cajones of some people. I think the worst thing someone has said to me was about my new last name, which will be Pulka. She said "Oh, are you going to do the Polka at your reception?" Hardyharhar. No.

@Brittney: When I read your comment, I immediatly thought of the LL CoolJ song "momma said knock you out" but replaced Momma with Grandma.

I wouldn't let it get to you hun. What an honor it must be for your grandmother to see her grandchild wearing something she's had so long and is so important. People say dumb things all the time, I wouldn't let this effect anything.

For some reassurance, ask your grandmother how she feels about being alive to be able to pass down something so priceless.

I would have said, "You know what's a complete atrocity? Your Face, biznatch!"

OK, so mine isn't wedding related... but. I am a nanny, and I used to nanny for 2 little girls and I always had their carseats in my backseat. One was cow print and the other was cheeta print. I was 20 years old at the time, and I was at a gas station grabbing something to drink while on my way to pick up the girls from preschool and this lady parked nexted to me as I am getting in my car says to me "that's a wild back seat you got there" and I laughed a little bit thinking she was talking about she was talking about the prints on the carseats. Then she continues with "Didn't anyone teach your generation to use a condom?" I was so taken aback but I didn't want to give her the last word so I finished with a very sad look on my face, said "if only you knew" and then I got in my car and drove away. I hope she thinks she made some huge mistake

Some people should just not speak..my aunt has this friend who I've only met like 3 times but she gets very familiar very quickly. Well the next time I saw her, this was the third time I've ever seen/talked to her, my aunt tells her I had just gotten engaged. The lady hugs me and as she is letting me go she says "how long can we bet it will last", and I thought ok, bad timing for a joke, then she goes on to say, "when it falls apart we'll be here to pick up the pieces"...like really??

If i was in your shoes, Id LOVE wearing it while gramma is still alive. Not only do u get joy from it but im sure she loves it on you as well! B***hes be crazy ;-)

My fiance is black and I am white....and my step dad said so is the music at your wedding going to be all "their" music or is there gonna be some white music too? UMMM i didnt know there was black and white music...i personally like a variety of music from country, to jazz, to r and b to hip hop....so my music is gonna be fun and a mixture....I CANT STAND HIM! what an ignorant fool!

Jessica G. - my future FIL says stuff like that all the time, particularly to his one and only daughter who's white but rarely, if ever, has dated a white guy. It's a shame that people say stuff like that and can't just love/respect others for who they are. You should just tell your dad "it will be all of OUR music, which covers a little bit of everything" and leave it at that and take the higher ground.

Mellojean - I laughed really loudly when I read your comment. Would be priceless to see that girl's face after a comment like that!

But I agree with everyone here -- people say some really dumb, uninformed things and it never ceases to amaze me that such ignorance/intolerance exists in this world.

My future FIL used to tell me every single day at least one thing that made my FH's ex better than me, like she's prettier or smarter or she's going to a better college than me, she's skinnier, he even said one day that her and my FH were going to get back together someday without a doubt... pretty sure he wouldnt marry me if that was going to happen! and the funnier part is all of this is far from the truth (except maybe the skinnier part), she's a lowlife loser how tries to collect child support for beer money (which she has specifically said b4), she dont even live with the kid, her parents take care of it.... ugh... in laws!

People are so dumb. I'm wearing my grandmother's e-ring, too, but she gave it to FH two months before she passed (and FH didn't propose until about a year later). Several ignorant people have asked me "wow, how much did that cost?" I just smile and say "my grandmother gave it to him for me before she passed, it's priceless."

I told my step dad...the music we like(fh and myself) will be played and if you have a problem with it you can feel free to not come...hes only invited because he is my mothers husband! People really dont think before they speak.

Wow, some people need to practice the "counting rule" I tought my daugther. I am sitting here with my jaw dropping.

I have two good examples...

I have been engaged for 2 years. I have been with my FH for 8 years. Prior to giving me the diamond, my FH did the traditional Italian thing, and asked for my hand. My father okayed it and was quite pleased. When we set the date, we took my parents out to dinner. My FH asked again. My father happily gave his blessing. He then looked at me and said, "Are you going to make this one stick?" Hello? The first one cheated on me, Dad.

My mother said, "Your not wearing another gown, are you?" No, mother, I am going nude.

It is a blessing that your grandmother wants you wear her wedding ring. Don't pay her any mind. As long as you and grandmom are happy, that is all that matters.
