    The only question I have gotten was from my brother asking if he can wear his naval academy suit to the wedding.

    The straight jackets sound so pretty! I would like a hot pink one.

    -Multiple family members have asked to stay at the house, but always say... not for the wedding, just the few days leading up to it. Cause those days aren't stressful enough *insert sarcasm here*

    -They have also asked me to help them with flights, rental cars, and directions... all of which can be found on my website. I'm not walking my friends through this, why do I need to walk every family member through it?

    -Are you inviting aunt so and so? I know they came to your engagement party but you said 10 years ago (before you were with FH) that you were mad at them and wouldn't invite them to your wedding. Because what you say at 18 will be the same at 28.

    @Sharon I'm dying!

    I feel lucky I haven't had to deal with any annoying questions yet! *fingers crossed*

    Although my mother was annoyed about our decision to have a destination wedding

    Mom- "So where do you want to have us throw the rice?"

    ....Is it just me? Or has no one thrown rice at a wedding in like 20 years?

    I feel like I want to put myself into a gold sequin straight jacket each time I come home to zero RSVPs.

    I'm going to have 52 people to track down if I don't get any by next Friday. I'm resorting to each person that came to my shower that hasn't RSVP is getting a, "Hope you are able to make it to the wedding!" message in their thank you card. Zero fucks.

    Also what drives me into madness: "How's wedding planning going?" "Oh it's going well, things are coming along." Then they asks for specifics, so I go ahead and tell them. Then I get the, "Well just so you know, it's not just about the wedding. You're going into a marriage." Yes, I fucking know that. Why did you ask me if I have my DJ and photographer if you were just going to tell me I only care about my wedding when I tell you that it was taken care of? GRR.

    @Ms. Dani and let's not forget about my cousins trying to RSVP via Facebook for themselves and their children acting like they didn't see the invitation addressed to them only and the RSVP card that said one seat is reserved in your honor!

    Edited for clarity

    @MsDani I strongly suggest it. People inboxed me the morning of my wedding upset because they were not invited. They did not invite us to theirs nor showed any interest in attending or hanging out beforehand. That's why my phone was taken day of!

    *So I'm invited to the wedding right? Answer. . No sorry but it's for family and close friends. .. this guy was just a fb friend. .. really?

    *Why are you having a bar, you don't drink? Answer - because I'm a good hostess. .. duh, really?

    *or the best -

    What you're not having a money dance, but you can do a honeymoon fund. Answer - no it's totally tacky. .. why why why

    I have already explained to co workers that I am not inviting anyone from work due to space constraints. one girl keeps asking me if she can come after dinner, just to drink & dance

    Mine is a nice soothing shade of blue.

    "Why don't you just go to where your honeymoon is and get married there?" Well, because we don't want our grown kids, the most important family we have, to have to spend a fortune to attend our wedding!

    "Why don't you just go to the courthouse and get married?" Because that's what I did 44 years ago and I would like the fun and excitement of being a bride before I'm dead, dammit!

    "You're just wearing a cocktail suit, aren't you? I mean, you aren't wearing a bridal gown!" Yes, I am wearing a bridal gown--in a lovely shade of champagne with white lace over it.

    I do have to say, though, that most of my friends and family have been really supportive and excited for me. My sister, who is my MOH, was a little questioning at first, but has since come around and has been a big help.

    Mines is purple too. I'm sick of my family not wanting to RSVP. Every time I bring it up its "oh you know I'm coming." or "you can go ahead and do that for me I'll be there." Seriously? WTF no I'm not Rsvping for you >:-(

    Some of my favorites were:

    My MIL waiting until just a couple months before the wedding to start trying to add a ton of people onto the guest list. She thought it was so rude to not invite all these people but she failed to mention it to us until after we had booked a venue (that only held a certain number of bodies as all venues do). We literally were at capacity. Any more and we all would have had to stand for dinner!

    Then there was a old friend of my moms (someone she hadn't even seen for like 5+ years) asking if she was invited. I barely posted anything wedding related on FB but on a post I think about when I got my dress she comments saying how she better be invited. Um...we're having 35 guests. I don't even know what state you live in now. So, that'd be a no.

    Many other MIL related ones as well. Likely more than I can think of. She never called me for anything, she would call DH. He would always tell her that he didn't know because I was doing all that but yet instead of talking to me she would insist on us using him as a middle man. Then during some holiday dinner she made a big show of saying that SIL had already promised to get married in their church because she knew how important that was to her. Um, yeah, neither DH nor I are part of your religion. Us having a wedding in your church would probably be pretty weird.

    -your BM dresses are black!?

    -my daughter is in your wedding whether you like it or not

    -you can't have an uneven bridal party

    -what do you mean you're not sending STDs

    -you don't need a fancy wedding(from FFIL and our budget is 10k)

    -do I really need to send back the rsvp you know I'm coming

    Mine is black and hanging up in my closet because it's getting close

    "I got your save the date but I just have one question... is this an announcement or an invitation?"..... Blank stare... IT'S A SAVE THE DATE!

    Oh and my mother's neighbor who I have known since I was a baby and has 3 daughters. All of which didn't invite me to their wedding. Neighbor asks my mom, "Are the girls invited? They haven't got their save the dates." I can't.
