True Colors come out....

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 153

My FH and I were thinking about changing the date of our wedding due to a scheduling conflict of sorts. There is a concert that we were both wanting to go to that is on the same day of our wedding. However, it starts at 6pm the same day. So I thought maybe we should change the date, I discussed it...

My FH and I were thinking about changing the date of our wedding due to a scheduling conflict of sorts. There is a concert that we were both wanting to go to that is on the same day of our wedding. However, it starts at 6pm the same day. So I thought maybe we should change the date, I discussed it with my MOH. My FH was worried that there wouldn't be enough time because he was under the impression that WE would have to stay behind and clean up after our wedding. Once I convinced him that the cleaning up is going to be taken care of, it all worked out. So we are keeping the date and having the wedding slightly earlier. I let my MOH know the date is the same. Come to find out now there is a conflict with her, her sister is throwing her nephew's 3rd b-day party on the same day, around the same time. She can't be in 2 places at once. I hate to make her choose. If she can't be there and be my MOH then so be it but at the same time... (continued)

    M.: I was listening to the radio the other day. The DJ guy was saying that it was his last week at the radio station. Why? Because he went on a rant on the air about how much Nickleback sucked, causing the band to cancel their concert that night.

    Completely irrelevant but I thought it was hilarious.

    I will also admit that O&S's post cracked me up.

    I just want to thank everyone on the post, including the OP, for one of the best laughs I've had in a long time. I was reading it out loud to my FH...who then decided to solve the problem by Googling Slipknot concert date alternatives for the couple to attend. He thinks I should PM her a list of new dates! He also keeps saying "F*ck...Slipknot?!" Laughing so hard I'm crying...

    Slipknot will be at Rock on the Range in Columbus, Ohio for a 3 day festival in May.

    Slipknot is going nowhere. Literally nowhere. Your bucket list maybe could use some grander items. You and my teen son share a bucket list.

    Fuck it, why have the wedding at all. Maybe Corey Taylor can marry you at the concert, since like it IS so important you get there and all.

    ^^getting married by famous rock star = bucket list. Going to rock show = not all that impressive or "bucket list-y"

    Wait... when did the title get changed? Are you going to respond on top of changing the title? I'm very confused.

    Like, at this point... you better be typing a heck of long rant to actually go through with changing the title otherwise changing the title was useless.... who's true colors have come out? Yours? Your MOH? WW's? I need more explanation.

    I really want to say so many things but I'll just say this, you should have renamed your thread "I push my fingers into my eyes..." Slipknot. Exactly what every little girl dreams of dancing to on her wedding night. Crazy as hell.

    @JK you're gonna give me nightmares.

    Nothing like going to listen to satan's music Saturday night to have something to repent for in church on Sunday!

    Honestly, I like rock. I've been to a ton of concerts. I've driven all over the midwest to see shows. Slipknot isn't my exact cup of tea but there are a few good songs out there by them.

    But seriously. Really... rescheduling your fucking wedding to see Slipknot play?! That's ridiculous.

    I do agree with what jkr said, you could try to go to the concert the next day, then it would REALLY kick off your honeymoon since most people don't leave the night of their wedding (that I've noticed)

    @m m, that was the loudest I think I've laughed here since someone posted a video of a bride walking down the aisle singing "Crazy Bitch."

    I've never heard of Slipknot and those pictures, JK, make me realize why I haven't.

    OP, I understand your frustration, but you lost the date when you told her it was changing. She then made other plans. While many do not understand the importance of a birthday, she did agree to go and perhaps was going to play a role in it or everyone was happy she should be there. Chalk it up to an oops on your part for telling her the date was changing,

    But did her "true colors" stand out? No. She did nothing wrong. No one did. It's just life.

    Lolz. This is still going.

    Thanks for the Tuesday morning laughs

    ETA: I thought this was a different thread that was opened on the same subject since the title changed. I was like oh god this will go well. But... changing the title is not effective without an update/new comment from you OP lol.

    First off I would think it's a little late to be changing your date. Your wedding is July of this year. Did you send out save the dates? Does everyone know your date? You said you had no vendors, so I guess that's one thing. But all of this for a concert? I would have to question the commitment here. Also, if I was a guest invited and then found out the date change AND THEN found out it was due to a concert I wouldn't attend the new date. To me it sounds so ridiculous that your wedding could just be changed because of a concert date. To me it would seem as if a wedding/joining together in marriage isn't that serious to you and more of a reason to get together/have a party/get gifts. Most people don't take getting married lightly and just do it whenever they feel like it.

    As far as MOH, again this is a wedding. The child is 3 at this point. I'm sure she has attended the 1st and 2nd birthdays as well as being available for many in the future. It is up to her to figure out what she wants to do. However, even telling you she had a conflict before figuring it out may have been the wrong move. She committed to being in your wedding and then the birthday party came up. The proper thing to do is tell her sister that she won't be at her nephew's party due to a prior engagement. It's up to her what she chooses, but if she is still up in the air I would ask her to let you know right away what she is doing.

    On Friday, go to the JOP. You have no bridal party or vendors, so what difference does it make. Admittedly nothing else is a priority to you other than being married.

    On Saturday go to Slipknot.

    On Sunday start your honeymoon.

    Problem solved .

    I can't believe this is going on still lol.

    For all the people who are focusing on "what parent plans out a child's birthday party 4 months out"....what difference does that make? The mother of that child shouldn't have to change her plans around to suit a bride who is willing to move her wedding time/date for a slipknot concert lol.

    We're some of those crazy parents that plan that far in advance. FH has grandparents in Buffalo and they try and make it to each of the great grandkids birthdays, regardless of the distance. It's easier (and cheaper) for them to plan ahead. Plus it's easier on us to plan and pay for the party over time when I can clearly plan something out vs. throwing everything together last minute. I tried that for her 3rd birthday and just ended up buying a ton of stuff we didn't need for the party since I was a bit frazzled.

    Seriously though, if I were a guest and found out you were going to move your wedding (or even thought about moving your wedding for that matter) for a concert I highly doubt I would attend. If you can't act like your wedding is important I'm not going to waste my time acting like it is either.

    I just caught this now, and I;m admitting the last concert I attended was a Slipknot show. Not for nothing, seeing 9 people all come together to make music (if your into that kind of music) is impressive. That being said, I do not think I would change my wedding plans to go to a Slipknot show. If we were talking Tool though, I would have a valid argument to change Smiley winking
