Rant - IT IS NOT YOUR DAY

Future Mrs. L, on September 17, 2016 at 10:49 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 84

I see people posting all the time about "Do what you want, it's your day!" Well I am here to tell you that it is NOT your day! First off, you are getting married to someone. So there is at least one other person who is involved (and they are kind of important...or should be). Second, the day you...

I see people posting all the time about "Do what you want, it's your day!" Well I am here to tell you that it is NOT your day! First off, you are getting married to someone. So there is at least one other person who is involved (and they are kind of important...or should be). Second, the day you invite/include one other person to/in your wedding and reception it no longer becomes "your day." You now have to think about these guests and their wants and needs.

No, you can't invite someone to the wedding or to be in the wedding and then boot them. That is rude and tacky and it makes people not like you. They WILL talk about you to others and then others will know you were a crappy person during your wedding.

No, you can not get mad because for a year people don't abandon their lives in honor of your wedding planning. That is just dumb to even expect that.

Your bridal party is not there to be your glitter covered slaves! They have lives outside of your wedding and just because

    Ugh. The whole "we're paying for it ourselves " thing toasts my tater tots as well. Duh. In this day and age you're supposed to pay for it yourselves. Gone are the days where brides went straight from the childhood home to marriage.

    No one is special or gets a cookie for paying for their own wedding

    Oy

    I've been at more weddings in the last six months than most people will go to in a lifetime, and I can tell you that most of the things people try to rationalize with, "It's my special day" come of as rude, tacky and unpleasant in the wild. Does anyone care if your BM's are in different colors? No. If there are no favors? No. But dry weddings, cash bars, not doing a seating chart (because it's too much of a pain in the ass), big gaps, no seating and being outside in too hot/too cold?

    No one's 'special day' is special enough to inflict that crap on your guests, and if you don't want to hear that, then posting is clearly a waste of time.

    I had someone tell me that I did not need to worry about a seating chart because people could just make do for one day. When I said it had to be done and that it would be rude not to do it someone told me "well it's your day, people will just get over it." I kindly explained that my wedding wasn't a free pass to be selfish and rude. If you have to justify something then deep down inside you know it is wrong.
