Wedding Confessional Booth

I secretly would prefer to elope and not spend all of this money. I'm a cheapskate and its annoying the crap out of me everytime I pull out the Visa to buy something or put a deposit down. (And yes I pay off the Visa monthly - I get the points or cashback rewards)

Other than I hope NO kids come I really have nothing else.

I really really don't want my best friend to bring her husband or her kids. They are rude and uncontrollable. But since I'm not telling anyone else they can't bring their kids, I feel bad about not wanting her kids there.

I'm with you Brandi. I dont like my MOH's husband and am secretly hoping he'll be out of town during my wedding.

I would rather have been saving the money for our family and go on a super vaca but instead we are having a wedding for our families.

Secretly I wish that both our families got along but they dont and I would rather have my and his friends over our families...

I also would rather us be rich and host a lavish wedding but we are not so there goes that idea too!!! =[

One great thing is that the invites say Adult Reception so no kids will be attending and the invites are addressed to those we are inviting and not addressed as "Jones Family" so it is open for interpretation.

One last confession is that I truly love my fh with ALL of my heart and soul and would not want to spend any time apart from him... he is my rock and my happy place!!! <3

I am struggling on whether or not to go through with the wedding or just go to the JP and get married then have a wedding reception. Part of me wants the wedding, another part of me just want to go ahead move the date up, get married, have a huge reception then off to our honeymoon. FH would get married tomorrow if I said lets go.

Okay here i go. I rather have a destination wedding. I REALLY don't want kids at my wedding. My FMIL is out there. I wish FH family was closer. My relatives are nuts.

Sometimes I often think we should just elope also ....I'm very tight with money lol my FH calls me cheap all the time so the thought of playing so much for a reception for ppl we dont deal with all the time PISSES me off

I'm already married but I secretly hoped my SIL would come down with some sort of illness that prevented her from coming to the wedding. I can't stand the site of her. But no such luck.

I wish that we didnt have to spend so much on this wedding I would rather go to the JOP, take a week long vaca and renovate my bathroom and kitchen. I am a "lil" cheap and especially in this economy I would hate to put down all this money and god forbid one of us looses our job...

Oh boy, bad day for me to see THIS thread--secretly HATING all things wedding today--don't want to do it at all. I'm starting to feel like its a stupid, stupid, STUPID waste of my time and money. Would we be any less married if we just went to the JP???? Grrrr and rant and @#$%%^&^&*(&%^#%$#%$GERT#$%#$% I am SOOOOO over this wedding stuff. I wish it was behind us. I am so out of love with the idea of a big wedding, that I can't really even see myself enjoying it at this point in time. WHEW----Thanks, I needed that!!! :-0 Told FH how I felt this morning, AND sent long exhaustive email to new venue manager regarding plans we had made with her predecessor, and guess what? Not a word from either all morning. That helps!!!

We told a family friend that we were on a super-tight budget and weren't able to invite everyone we wanted - which was only half-true. We *were* on a budget, but we were able to invite everyone we wanted to. We just didn't want to invite this friend's daughter. I can't stand her daughter, and she thinks we're friends. She invited herself to my brother's wedding at the last minute, and my mom felt bad saying no (she had her mom call and ask if it was OK if she came too the day before the wedding). Since I told my mom I wouldn't be nice if she showed up at my wedding, we told the friend numerous times about how we wished we could invite everyone. Thankfully, she didn't show up.

I'm right there with Marie, I would rather elope than spend all this money....I know it's going to be a fun, wonderful day...but it's ONE day. I would have rather put that money towards a house that we could enjoy for years to come. That and I have issues with anxiety and don't like being the center of attention at all, is that weird?

My dream was to go to Ireland (where my family is from) and get married outside or near one of the old castles, just me, him and our immediate family and then go have fun with the locals.

But FH really wanted a big celebration for our day so it's fine

I secretly wish I could hire a wedding coordinator. I usually love planning "parties" but the closer I get to the wedding day the more frustrated I get. I wish I could just tell someone what I want and they could make it happen without worrying about money or resources to get it.

For my wedding I secretly hoped that my SIL would have said no to being a BM but she did'nt so the joke was on me

I also would have rathered had a DW instead of this huge wedding to save money

I was kind of pissed off that about 15 people rsvp'd that they were coming but did not without any type of notice...mind you it was $100.00 per plate..yeah my thoughts exactly

Finally...the big one...I liked my wedding dress but I did not LOVE it my mom fell in love with it and could not stop crying all she kept saying was "this is your dress, this is the one" so needless to say if me buying that dress made her day then I was all for it

I'm only inviting SOME co-workers :o

There are two people I hope don't show up but I know they will. Other than that I'm good! Oh and Angie no promises on the no kids thing, we're taking our honeymoon in Oct so we're using our "babysitter time" then. Lee might be coming with.

I secretly wish that we had more money so we could have or weding sooner and go ahead and start trying to concieve baby # 2, I want another baby so bad!

Jennifer OMG im so right there with u

Miss Tattoo, you can still get the details... My photog is coming along for our civil ceremony.. it's taking place of our e-pics, but I think it will be well worth it!
