Single digits... 9 days out!!! (mini rant)

Jessica, on February 19, 2020 at 3:57 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 7

I don't think it has fully sunk in that in 9 days I will be marrying my best friend. Work has been super hectic and I've slowly been marking things off my wedding to-do list but it still doesn't feel entirely real.

So this Monday we had our final appointment (YAY!) and gave our head count/seating arrangement and final payment. Everything's all good, we're under our original count and it's one less stress to deal with, right? Wrong!

I get a call the next day while I'm super busy at work. I finally get a chance to listen to it and my aunt has informed me that she "broke out" a family member from the rest home and needs to add him onto the guest list. While I understand the situation (don't feel like going into that mess of a story) I am frustrated that they didn't let me know they were planning on doing this (we see each other a couple of times a month) and that they just stated he needs to be added instead of asking if we can add him. I called her back that night when I had calmed down and said we'll make it work but it would have been nice to know the day before.

So now we have to rearrange the seating chart and I'm hoping someone can't make it after all (was already a possibility) so we don't have to deal with another charge.

Ughhhhh.... anyway, it's not too big of a deal and I'm still super excited for next Friday!

    Ugh I’m sorry! On the bright side, I’ve never known a venue to deny the chance for more money. Like if you want to take someone off after your final headcount they won’t let you do that, but I’d be shocked if they won’t let you add someone (and accept more money), even if the contract says you’ve already passed the deadline.


    BREATHE. Just remember everything is going to sound like the end of the world right now because your emotions are running so high! Around this time before our wedding I had this huge blow up fight with my mom (who I’m really close with) because my mom’s close friend (who is also my bridesmaid’s dad) asked if he could attend the rehearsal dinner as well. I was like sorry but no, because I’m close with some of my other bridesmaids’ parents too and I can’t just make an exception for 1 person it wouldn’t be fair to them. So then my mom goes on a tirade about how good her friend has been to me my whole life and that he “deserves” to come and if I say no then she’s just bringing him as her date, “I’m the mother of the bride, dont I get a date?” And I’m like umm, 1 week in advance? No, you don’t! So then she tells me she isn’t coming to the rehearsal dinner now either and storms out.

    At this point I’m just like ok this is freaking ridiculous FINE he can come whatever just drop it! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ And in hindsight I just can’t believe how worked up she and I both got over this because it was just SO not a big deal either way. Like I said, emotions just run HIGH around this time.

    Just remember none of these things will matter in 9 days Smiley smile

    There’s usually no shows so I wouldn’t have added him, just made room for him.
