When People Complain

You don't need to get plastered at someone's wedding and they have these things called a taxi. People seriously don't know how to be an adult these days.

She sounds sloppy. 20 mins you could get a cab. Or a hotel. Everyone has an opinion...ayyyyee

Lol. She'd hate my wedding. Our venue is 1.5 hours from most of our guests, but it's less than 2 miles from our house. Tell her that if she's really that worried to find a DD or learn how to use uber.

Twenty minutes away, that's it? I don't know anyone that actually got married in their hometown. Almost everyone has to drive to somewhere for a wedding. If you need to get shitfaced for some reason then get a hotel room!

I don't understand what people think they're going to get out of complaining about this. Like as if you're gonna go "Oh wow, I didn't realize how inconvenient this is going to be for you. BRB, let me go change my venue".

FH's family is on the very religious side of things too. They hate alcohol and all of our BP knows this. We've asked them to tone it down for the reception to respect his family. We party hard when we party. Most of the time the sun is coming up when we call it a night. That's what the after party is for! And she knows all of this.

Luckily my sister/MOH basically told everyone that has an opinion to keep it to themselves. So I only heard the complaints after the wedding. Some people were mad about our "do not play" list (one BM had the nerve to complain about that to my sister. My sister told her that with the amount of money we are paying for the day, we should be able to not have to listen to music we don't like). Same BM also didn't like our date because a friend of hers died close to the date (4 years before and it was at his memorial that DH and I met. Honestly, the friend that died's mother, sister and brother attended our wedding and didn't have any problem with the date at all!)

20 minutes away?? That is not far at all. If she really wants to get trashed and is opposed to spending the night at the hotel, I don't think a taxi or Uber would cost that much. I would also think that there would be someone else that would be headed back into town fterwards that they could ride with.

My wedding was the whiner's world competition. Everyone back home (where I lived for over 6 years), or in my home town, or in DH's hometown whined that we didn't get married THERE. We also got complaints that we didn't do a destination wedding. People who weren't invited complained about not being invited, and when acquaintances from long ago saw my wedding pics on Facebook, they complained that I didn't tell them I was getting married. Agh.

My FMIL spouted that crap to me when we found our venue, which she likes btw, but "its too far." There are hotels, DD's, taxis and many other solutions.

FMIL decided to get a limo for her and the family staying with her at her cost to drive them to and from the reception.

Adults should be able to figure this out

People also complained to us that we didn't get married in SC. ESPECIALLY FH mom. She didn't let it go for a while. then one of his friends also complained. I just don't get it! this is a friend that travels all the time for CONCERTS! CONCERTS PEOPLE!

Where I live, 20 mins is the next town over. They don't have hotels in that town?

Hahaha they have tons of hotels the next town over! It's a bigger town. Although, not huge in the grand scheme of things. And I don't know what she planned on doing if it was closer! I'm glad I'm not alone in this problem. People really are ridiculous.

So she is saying is ok to drive drunk if you are less than 20min away but anything over that is a no no? :/

The bulk of my guest list lives on the south side of Indianapolis (or OOT completely) and my venue is on the north side of Indianapolis about 40-45 mins away depending on traffic. No one has complained...at least not to me! Most are getting a hotel room b/c we also have an open bar. Its their choice. I'd be annoyed as F too....especially as they are bridal party.

In LA , 20 minutes away is your hometown. What is this bitch complaining about ??

She can take an uber. 20 min away is what 10-20 miles ??? Really ??? She's a b^*#

Our wedding was over an hour away from my "hometown" and probably same or further for most of our guests.

I'd be like bitch, call an uber. Lol

People will always find something to complain about. They can certainly still drink and have fun; just call a taxi or one of them could limit their consumption and be fine to drive.

Does she only go to bars that are within walking distance? Our venue is only 2.5 mi from our house, but nobody can really walk there (unless they really want to hike uphill), but there's a reason that there's uber and cabs. Is she trying to make you book a bus?

She actually doesn't go to bars. She only gets drunk at her house or a friend's house. And unfortunately we don't have Uber around here. I'm like the only person I've met around here who knows what Uber is. There are taxies though!
