Venting!! It's my wedding not yours!

Raven, on July 19, 2012 at 1:42 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17

Ok.. So I'm so convinced that reality shows like 4 weddings and Say Yes to the Dress give people the false impression that their opinion matters when it comes to YOUR wedding. This is almost pure comedy for me. I have a supervisor who I consider a friend when it comes to everything except her perception of me. She has called me spoiled, over the top, etc. Most recently, she has said that she thought of me while watching a wedding show. She assumes that I'm going to wear a tiara, princess dress, and/or something form fitting since I wear form fitting attire at work. Yes I do wear APPROPRIATE form fitting attire at work because I have a great body and I can afford to not dress like I'm 50 years old or wear baggy clothes from the 80s like she does. But, I'm not wearing a tiara, which she suggested I should get rid of if I was.lol. People and their opinions I tell ya. It's pure hate. I'm thinking of writing her off the guest list or inviting her so she can see other fly women to hate on

    Wow. You don't like her too much, huh? I work with a lady like that too. She says off the wall stuff but I brush her off. We do have some things in common and for the most part we get along. Im inviting her still.

    I agree wholeheartedly. I take my family's opinion to heart, but people you work with? Riiiighhht. Let it go in one ear and out the other.

    My mum told me I that if my sister could make it up, I should make her my MOH. I reminded her that we really are trying to keep everything as small as possible. (Our wedding party is four people, me, FH, my daughter and his best man.) We already have a guest list of nearly 200 people--my family is sooo huge and if we didn't send invites to my aunt who hates me and my second cousin's former stepchild, my mum would never hear the end of it......Though we expect only about 125 guests.

    Any who, I said again that we are keeping things as small as we can. Finally she says, "Oh, well. It is your day."

    Yes, mom, it is.

    Like the lady at work that told me I couldn't use blue and pink for my colors because everyone will want to know when the kids are coming..... um... so many things wrong with that statement, where do I start?

    Sounds like your fellow worker is a major biyatch.

    I am a wedding show addict. However, I think they set the bar too high for brides. I feel some brides feel their wedding isn't up to snuff if they don't have things like uplighting and a photobooth.

    Imho, seeing the alleged fabulousness of a David Tutera wedding has spawned many ugly DIY centerpieces. Sometimes manzanita branches should only be done by the pros or the extremely gifted. I also think he is a sell out. He has a line at Joannes. Half the stuff he is selling is stuff he would replace on his wedding show.

    I love 4 Weddings for a specific reason, it shows me what NOT to do when planning a wedding. : )

    Ugh, people are so annoying. Just brush her comments off and plan your wedding the way you want to. I swear some people just feel like they have to talk crap to people to make themselves feel better.

    Is that lady single? If so she's probably jealous.

    OMG Carole, you know I would like to vote David Tutera off the wedding island. Seriously. Half the dresses he puts brides in, their bubbies are falling out. And he completely ignores the grooms. So tacky. Seriously.

    I think opinions are like you-know-whats, and they come out of the woodwork when someone is getting married, having a baby, buying a house, or some other life event. It just gets people all a-twitter and they say stupid things. Best to just ignore this woman. Also if you don't like her perception of you and if she's calling you spoiled/etc then I would hardly call her a friend. Sounds more like a frenemy. If you've already invited her verbally or sent a STD then you have to keep her on the guest list but otherwise I'd give'er the boot.

    Dear God, that woman sounds delightful! I would have a hard time biting my tounge. Kudos to you for holding out this long, but I fully support the upcoming STFU.

    Wow! the old saying goes, "You should think before you speak" really doesnt apply to her, does it? Some people are just so full of envy and hate its crazy. I think she spends way too much time worrying about what YOUR doing for YOUR wedding or how you dress. To keep your job, I'd say don't share anything with this lady about your wedding......just smile and nod when she says something cause you may go tick tick boom! Somthings the best things to say, is nothing at all. She will get the hint!

    Yep got one of those at work too, she's actually really helpful and gives great advice at times but when she doesn't agree with something she's so strong about it I have to just let it roll off my back, haha hard to really pull out the claws at work!!

    I have no intentions of inviting anyone from work. My wedding is a personal affair to be shared by close friends and family. I never see these people outside of work. I don't have time to explain myself to them and I am not interested in their opinions. Don't get me wrong I like the people I work with but I don't socialize with them out side of work hours.
