Negative Opinions

You'll get comments, it's inevitable. My favorite is the newly married girl who starts sentences with, "well at myyyyy wedding...."

Lol I know everyone is so quick to give their advice and will always compare my future wedding to ones they went or had, I'm dreading it.

As Courtney said, everyone will have a comment. My favorite are the conflicting comments back to back "what do you mean so and so isn't invited!?" and then "abc costs THAT much? You should have a small wedding/just elope."

My solution was usually follow up their comments with a "that sounds like it was nice" and then stop talking to them about wedding stuff as much as able.

Stop talking to the haters who are not getting married or don't have the money to spend or doesn't have a man as handsome as yours cuz they're all haters!

View Quoted Comment It’s quite annoying — I feel frustrated because I want to talk about it but it’s not worth it

My brother's fiancee is like this.. not even married yet and she's already getting on my nerves. At dinner one night my mom asked what flower we had picked since we went to our consultation that day. I told her what we picked out, and on the other end of the table I hear, "well at myyy wedding...."

People will definitely be quick to compare or to say things. But at the end of the day, do what you want because regardless of what you do, people will judge anyway so may as well do what you want and will make you happy

If they ain't chipping it give them the bird n keep on moving. 😂😂

Ppl like to rain on the whole wedding planning parade.. Not sure why maybe jealously or just an negative person. Oh well it's your wedding mot theirs so input from them are "wasted space"!!

Good luck 😊

Ughh the worst 🙄 weddings aren’t meant to be compared—they’re unique just like each couple. And it’s so awkward to throw the money talk into it.

Yes! It's been a small portion of folks, but stands out in my memory so clearly! So rude.

My FH step sister has made 2 comments to my MIL to be how she is salty that her son isn’t the ring bearer 🙃 sorry honey I don’t even like you so there is no way your kid is in my wedding!!

I’ve learned that whenever anyone asks you “so how is your wedding planning going” it’s just because they want to give you their opinions, which can be frustrating. We are paying for our own wedding so I don’t want advice from anyone, therefore I avoid that topic of conversation now!

Drives me bonkers when people say "just elope or go to the courthouse" !!!

My mom says it when she gets upset over wedding budget talk (She is not paying the wedding ). She thinks it's too much money for one day.
And certain (same) posters repeatedly tell others on a budget to do this too! Like yes we all shouldn't try to have a wedding we are happy with. We should give up on that. Eloping or going to a courthouse magically is a dream wedding.

Find the people that are happy for you and will be positive. You can't change those other people, and it's possible that maybe those people aren't interested in the wedding and are kind of saying things to get off the topic. Bring your wedding excitement here, since it's kind of set up for that purpose would be my advice.

Hopefully there are also a few people who are stoked with you.

Cheers

I've just stopped telling people anything. Y'all guna be surprised and LIKE it.

I definitely had some push back/comments! It had been a while since anyone in our family got married, and the ones who most recently did...all either did the courthouse thing or eloped. Fine for them, but you know what, I wanted a big party. And for every cousin that was ridiculously stoked, there was one or two other family members who just didn't get it. My solution was to stop telling anyone anything! If they offered unsolicited advice or comments, "you know, we have a plan and it's all falling into place, and we're happy. That's what matters." Followed by the biggest, most annoying grin I could form - that usually shut them up

I think it's unfortunate that some people in our lives just refuse to celebrate with us during our special times of life, and planning your wedding is indeed a special time! I wouldn't give them a second thought, just let if fly in one ear and out the other. If they're not offering something that is actually positive, constructive or truly in your best interest, it's just not worth listening. Good luck pushing through it, I know it's not easy.
