Remember when you started planning and thought "that won't happen at my wedding"?

We were so young and innocent!

I'll put it this way: When we decided to host a full wedding instead of doing a destination elopement, I thought my family was so chill and that the wedding forum horror stories would be for me to read and respond to, not to create.

Now, theoretically, I'd loooove to put up a PSA on our wedding website and FB stating, "Please direct any and all rude comments about the wedding to the mother of the bride, who is handling that part of the wedding planning process."

I mean obviously I won't and I'm being as kind as possible to people. It's nothing serious, just the usual--you know, people trying to "inform" me that "they will" bring their child to my 18+ reception, or this or that other little thing that freak us out now but will be laughable in a few months.

But I mean what if we really could get away with saying that? :-P I'm just so done with hearing about it.
