Wow, today I officially. became.. Bridezilla! .... Basically we have a wedding of 140 guests. Family on both sides are huge so they took up about 100 on the list. We had to decide which friends we would invite for the remaining 40 and had no (I mean no, not one) decline in RSVP, so we couldn't invite any one else. Today a friend messages me to say: "Babe I got a huge problem.. It's bf's bday the Friday before your wedding and he wants to go 4x4 for the weekend and do something he wants to do...He's being a complete child actually.... and my moms bday the Sunday too  will it be a huge problem if we dont make it????? I would really love to be there, but hey just want to do what they want to do."

I was like "are you kidding me? A week before when you knew about their birthdays for years? They have a bday every year and I get married once?" I mean this girl micro managed me for her invitation, kid you not. The nerve!

What was ur worst cancellation?

When I got married the first time, I had always dreamed of having a Friday night candlelight ceremony. My ex-mother-in-law had a fit, you can't do that she said. All of her relatives were going to be traveling from New Jersey to upstate New York. She told me that Friday night would be very inconvenient for everyone. I changed it to a Saturday to accommodate her. We planned for 18 months. We sent out the invitations and 36 people from her side of the family all RSVPed yes. The day of the wedding, 3.....THREE of them showed up. The remainder were no call no show. I found out several months later during an argument with my ex mother-in-law, that everyone on her side of the family felt that we were too young to be getting married (22) and therefore, had decided to "boycott" the wedding.

23 years later and I still want to choke them.

That is so heinous Val. I'd want to choke them too. They could have just said no.

My uncle was a social worker at a sober living house at the time. The caterer boxed everything up and my uncle brought the meals to the residents. THEY were quite happy to enjoy the meals and I was thrilled they didn't get thrown out.

FH aunt didn't RSVP by the date we invited 5 of them (aunt/uncle/cousin and grandkids of aunt/uncle because they have custody). We had to send an email asking if they were coming. She responded back with yes 4 of the 5 are (no to the cousin).

A week before the wedding she sends an email saying it'll just be her and the cousin because the grandkids have school the next day. Uh, we told everyone in DECEMBER what our date was and that it was on a Sunday. The invitation also has the date on it! You knew this.

Thankfully, we didn't lose out on any money towards their food as we didn't have to give a final head count yet but we specifically had researched restaurants that allowed children since they were the only ones coming.
