Posted in Planning 108

People tend to say some of the most inconsiderate things,I thought I share whats been said to me and see if im the only one lol 1. OMG you have to stop crying(to me @ my surprise engagement party) 2. Wow you guys arent married yet? 3. Just make sure theres a Mickeys D near the venue so we can eat...

People tend to say some of the most inconsiderate things,I thought I share whats been said to me and see if im the only one lol

1. OMG you have to stop crying(to me @ my surprise engagement party)

2. Wow you guys arent married yet?

3. Just make sure theres a Mickeys D near the venue so we can eat afterwards. ( we have a cocktail hour, 3 displayed hordouvers, 3 passed, a salad, 2 meats, pasta and 2side dishes)

4. I hope the food is good or im not coming! (someone whose not invited anyway)

5. I sure hope theres an open bar! (of course)

6. What we don't get to pick our own dresses? (BM)

7. I'll be waiting on my invite, oh yea and Ill be bringing my bf and my aunt (someone we didnt plan to invite to beginning with)

8. What your date again so i can steer clear of it (bride who then steals my date)

9. Hey not sure if we can make it, have "something" to do (FH aunt after getting STD 1 yr ahead)

10. Me: Hey can you send me your address. Them: does this mean you actually set a date?

    Damn! Those are the rudest comments I've ever heard! I though my grandmom was bad. She constantly asks questions and then when I don't give her the response she wants, she says, "Well Im not going to get involved. I'll just sit down and shut up" in her most sarcastic voice lol

    @Stephanie- I get that too. I work retail and customers keep asking questions when they see the ring. The last one looked at me and said "How old are you??" and when I replied 24 she said, "Oh good. I saw the ring and you LOOK so young!"

    @MrsPtobe- I hope that comment from your dad came from a place of caring and not from disrespect. My situation is similar and while I'm completely used to our lifestyle people still are so shocked when I tell them that my FI will be gone 3 weeks during christmas and I don't usually know where he is at any given time. I can understand that people might show some concern over it because it really can be a VERY difficult lifestyle, but in the end I hope that we are mature and rational enough to make the decision ourselves and know what we're getting into.

    I've been lucky not to get any rude comments so far but I'm still early in the planning stages (fingers crossed) The toughest things I've had to deal with so far is people asking if they've made the cut when they hear I am engaged. Personally, if you have to ask, it probably means that you aren't that close. I can't imagine ever asking if I'm invited, talk about pressure!

    Rude Comments to date:

    - U 2 are nuts for spending that kind of $ - just go to the courthouse & (A) have a kickin' party afterwards or (B) take that $ go on a killer 3-4 week vaca & tour Europe or the Orient.

    - I know you're kids are grown Marie but FH doesn't have kids of his own so are you going to start over or adopt?

    - What do you mean you're not doing plus 1's for all of the single guests - who would want to go to a wedding without a date?

    - @FH from his sis regarding his 20 & 22 yr old SINGLE nieces - they're your only nieces and should be allowed to bring a date so they can have fun at your wedding.

    - From my Sis - Yeah I'll be a BM as long as I don't have to do anything.

    - From my FH's cousin - Awesome can't wait to get my drunk on (she's 59)

    - From FSIL at her Bro when we were discussing our dance lessons "Oh you're doing that again? I thought you hated that?" FH had taken dance lessons w/ an old GF 20 yrs ago.

    And the most annoying of all relate to my Ering

    - Is that real?

    - You must be really great in bed to get a rock like that. I actually had one person say "you must give fantastic BJ's for something like that"

    - What's you FH do for a living? He must be rollin' in the dough

    - Is your FH mobbed up for a ring like that

    JohnAmanda what I did was put on the website rsvp section to Please RSVP only for the number of people addressed on your envelope and I will also put that on the invitation enclosure card. If they decide not to come b/c of that oh well i have a waiting list of ppl trying to come. As long as he and I are there thats all im worried about

    We've heard... Just go to the courthouse can't understand people spending all that money on a wedding. (FH's friend)

    Just yesterday his sister busted out with of course I'll be at your wedding don't want to miss your first one...

    Oh you 2 aren't going to work.. (another friend of FH)

    I don't get why people can't just be happy for us and feel the need to make these horrible comments!!

    Chelle - I've had some real doozey come backs LOL as I can be a razor cutting biach right back

    Here's been some of my remarks:

    The BJ/Sex comments - stone faced state - yep I'm Fabulous in bed & apparently you're not. The look on their faces was absolutely worth it.

    Is it real - no it's not, me & fh are just superficial and needed to put on aire's.

    Is it real - no it's not, please don't tell anyone its a cubic zarconia

    What's your FH do to afford that - I tell them he makes tons of $ since he produces Porn Movies

    No one will have fun at our wedding w/o a date - Ok no prob, then they don't have to come.

    The dance lesson comment - He likes the dancing, he just needed a better partner

    My Sis who said she'd b a BM if she didn't have to do anything - Nope you don't have to do anything except wear the hideous ugly dress that I'm gonna pick out for you.

    The baby comments - I just shake my head with that one I'll be 42 next week and say nope my eggs are old

    I take it in stride & just LMAO

    @ Marie S.... hehehehe those are great comebacks!!

    Just like I don't have a diamond for my e-ring (which I didn't want) I have a sapphire and I've heard comments my response has been:

    Ahhh you see I didn't want a diamond, diamonds are common and FH is marrying me because I'm not common so the ring should match the person Smiley smile (I have NO problems with diamonds but I really just wanted a sapphire!!)

    Then I've heard oh you wanted a ring like Princess Kate's - my response was no she copied me Smiley smile

    The day after I got engaged, my old boss said: "Why does he want to marry you?"

    She said it with attitude and disbelief! Like I'm so un-marry-able! Sheesh!!!!

    I think the biggest offense was "Are you sure you want to get married?" I had several people ask that and one was so bad that my god aunt and uncle sat us down and gave us a 2 hr lecture (which of course made FH upset) about how being married is a BIG decision and sometimes people get married for the wrong reasons, etc.

    Jo D. I had someone say something like that to me and that is very hurtful! its was actually a coworker who tried to make a pass at me numerous times so my guess is hes mad my fiance beat him to it.

    Marie S. lmaoooo I love those comebacks ahahahahah I think im going to give some of my own just so i can release some of this frustration, and start to make them feel as bad as they make me feel. I tried being nice but that is working!

    FBIL: There's no point in spending all that money. No one cares about your wedding.

    I care about my wedding.

    I haven't gotten anything from people we're close with...sorry to those who have!

    But I did think I would share this ridiculous story...my Maid of Honor's cousin (who my fiance and I can't stand being around and he is seriously the biggest mooch in the world) ASSUMED he was invited because his cousin is my MOH! I'm not kidding...the only time we ever hang out with this guy is when he's around my MOH...and he knows we don't like him...we've literally talked to him about it before!

    My fiance and I live together and are kind of known as great hosts...we always throw parties or get-togethers, and everyone always wants to come because we always show a good time...so people are like already talking about how our wedding is going to be the "best thing ever" and the "most fun awesome wedding" and while I am flattered and honored, I also feel like the pressure is on! It's impossible to meet people's expectations when they put you up on a pedestal! And people (like my MOH's cousin)...

    ...(cont) are pissed when they're not invited...but not because they actually want to celebrate our marriage with us, but rather because they are going to miss out on an epic party haha...sorry for that little vent, but I just get so upset when people assume they are invited...it's not my MOH's wedding, it's ours!
