I won't lie, I've pinched the idea for this post from the old 'fetti forum - it was really helpful, a bit like therapy

This is the place for us  to get off our chest when people criticise our wedding plans and ideas or come up with inappropriate suggestions, but we can't tell them (for whatever reason)

To my MOH:  No, you can't get the bodice of your dress lowered - for once I don't want it to be all about your boobs

To my BM, mother of 2 of my FG: No your daughters are not going to eat dinner in their vests and pants just in case they get tomato ketchup on their dresses.  I have paid for the dresses to be worn at my wedding and not as party dresses for your girls to wear afterwards

To my MOH: Yes the FG will be wearing ankle socks, No, I don't care if it makes the girls look short, they are children - they ARE short!

To anyone who criticises our budget: Yes it is a lot of money to spend on one day but H2B and I have worked bloody hard to get where we are today and if this is how we want to spend our money, that is our choice!

And.... breatheLaughing

Feel free to rant away ladies!

Lou

To my uncles - we have made the decision that we are not having children on the day so that our wedding remains an adult day, not a children's party.

To my step-mother - it is not your job to pick the bridesmaid dresses just because you are the mother of two of them.  At 22 and 11 they are capable of expressing their own opinions.  And blue is a lovely colour, I don't want red.

This is a good idea!

love this!

To my MIL2B - No you can't invite any more people from YOUR PLACE OF WORK and their partners who me and my future husband have never met. The 7 that are coming already plus partners is more than enough and rude that you asked to invite them in the first place

To FIL2B - No you cannot change out of your suit that we have paid £100 to hire in the evening to wear your own suit

To my bm (step sister) - The day is about me and my h2b and not you. You will have your chance at your own wedding next year

To PIL2B - No you cannot come to our house at 5am to wave us off on the day we go on honeymoon. I have booked a stretch limo to take us to the airport as a surprise for my husband and i want to share this with him and only him. You can look at the photos when we get back

Rant over! x

Oooh this looks fun!

MIL2B - No you cannot wear Indian dress to my very english style wedding! You are not Indian, nore are we nore is the theme of our wedding, you will look odd! and tbh I dont think I want FIL2B family to have anything to pick at about you during the day!

My Nan - No you cannot wear the outfit you wore to your wedding too my wedding! 1. its white.. 2. its a  little see through and not appropriate at all for my nan..

SIL2B - stop telling me it is too soon to do things, I am paying for the bridesmaid dress as are the other bridesmaids who want to pay for their own, also your not here rto pick, so If i find one I like I am getting it.. Yes you might loose weight but I could get the dress a month before and you could still loose weight, just tell the dressmaker and they will take that into consideration... Also dresses take 4 months to come and so deal with it! lol (actually in a mor epoliet way that is what i said to her)

My dad - Grrrrrr just wear a suit to match the groom and best man... I dont care that you have never heard of anyone doing this it is what people do!

H2B - Pay attention!!!! hehe I have told him this one but think it enough  that im adding it on :)

I love this

To my mum - it is my wedding. I will have what I like. You aren't paying, so your opinion, while valued, counts for very little.

To my sister - again, it's not your wedding so you cannot complain about what we choose to do with our money. Yes it's a lot of money, but we've spent a long time saving up for this, and you are going to enjoy it, so don't pretend you won't.

To my auntie - stop trying to make it sound like we're spending a fortune. We're spending less than you did on your second wedding. And if you think I am wasting money, you spent... (wait for, ladies...) FIFTEEEN GRAND on the UGLIEST watch I have EVER seen.

To my grandma - stop telling me you won't be able to come because you'll be 80 or dead. You'll be 79 and there is nothing wrong with you. Negativity.

To my mother in law to be - Please do not cough all over my wedding breakfast. No you can't smoke inside. Yes, you have to get dressed to come. And no you may not have prawn cocktail. And no, I am not having a baby before the wedding, because I have to finish university and work to get some money to pay for the wedding. And no, I am not bringing my, as yet, fictional children into your house where you spend all day chain smoking.

Ooo I feel no end better now lol x

To a certain BM - get your head out of your a*se and book a flight the wedding is 9 weeks away and I don't know if you're definately going to be there!

Oooh...this was fun last time...such a release!

Mum - I love you dearly but the reason miltb and step-mil2b make you feel bad about you not contributing anything so far, is because they have and you haven't! You've enough money to go on weekends away with your friends but not enough to pay  me money you owe me for things, or the money you promised me for my wedding dress over 6 months ago!

fil2b - I know it's in jest but stop deliberatley trying to wind me up, stop being horrible around my family when you see them, stop rolling your eyes whenever anyone mentions your only son's wedding!

sister (bm) - NO YOU MAY NOT HAVE ORANGE HAIR AT MY WEDDING!!!

best man - I'm very sorry your marriage has broken down, DO NOT drag h2b into this annoying hating marriage spiral

h2b's poker friends - I don't give a damn if you don't like that I ask you to be quiet when you're playing poker at MY house at 1am in MY kitchen, underneath MY bedroom when I have to go to work the next day...If you don't like it, go and play the f@ck somewhere else!!!

Oooh that was good!

Sam, you have no idea. She reckons it will be an "heirloom" but it won't, because she's left it to my mum, and my mum says she's flogging it lol It's so hideous. Ergh. My bloody wedding, and lots of other peoples are costing far, far less, ridiculous woman lol x

Oooo i have more now thinking on it...

SIL2B (BM) - no you can't have another dress fitting when i have mine fitted - I don't really want anyone to see my dress and  if you lose weight fine, but you can have another fitting seperately - and you can pay for it! £150 dress and £75 alterations is quite enough thankyou very much!

cousin - will you just RSVP already! how many times do I have to ask - if you dont want to come just bloody say so!

uhoh - Bridezilla is in danger of emerging!

I have told everyone the honest answers to there questions, but have been poilet as to not hurt there feelings as I care about them..

Like my nan wantng to wear what she wore to her wedding, I was poliet in sayin "I dont think it will work because it is white" when I was thinking "noooooooooooooooooo I wasnt keen on it esp as it was kinda see through, she had black tights, not the best look for a 63 yr old lady"

Ooh time to unleash the bridezilla...

Mum:
1. You don't like the bridesmaid dresses - fair enough, you aren't paying for them nor are you expected to wear them.
2. No, I don't want my cousin (whom I have seen approx 4 times in my whole life) as a bridesmaid/flower girl.  And she is not cute.
3. I appreciate you paying for my dress however I don't like traditional wedding dresses and may even get one with STRAPS!  Also, I will not under any circumstances be wearing a veil or tiara.

BM -
1. It is not my fault you have big boobs, I want all my BM's to wear matching dresses so you will just have to sort out underwear solutions yourself. 
2. If I have enough money I will pay for your to get your hair done on the day but if not you can do it yourself, the day is actually not about you.

MOH - Please try and lose some weight before the wedding, you will look so much better in your dress if you do.

PIL2B - It would be nice if you could contribute anything whatsoever towards the wedding.

x

To my Aunt- the hymns are OUR choice. If you don't like them, I'm not forcing you to come. Plus we want a piper and will have one. It is nothing to do with nationalism. (Don't have to say this as my mum did it for me!)

Mum- I love you to bits but we aren't getting things because we can't afford them its because we think they are a waste of money.

BIL2B- you will not ruin our wedding- unless you no longer want your balls. And your jokes about ruining our wedding actually really hurt. (H2B has asked FIL to tell him to stop it).
