Just a hint becareful with sunbeds and nails as they can turn funny

Just had a call from the dress maker who has altered my dress, it's ready for me to try on - She's added a lace up back :j I need to go around on Thursday so she can measure it up to take it up now

Why what do the sunbeds do to nails?

I'm booked in to have my nails done on the Thursday before the wedding, so I was gonna go and have a sunbed first, then I wasn't gonna have anymore as I'd have too much to do on the Friday, then of course I'll be up at the crack of dawn on the Sat to get married!

Great news about the dress Chel!!!!

What's up???

Cut and pasted from other thread!

Brother who was seeing one girl, I invited (cos we'd met and I liked her) then dumps her (about 6 months ago) So I invite a friend in her place. Now seeing a different girl and clearly has said something to our Mum cos she mentioned that this girl, will drive brother down (he doesn't drive) and 'she will be on her own' or brother will have to come on his motorbike (which my Mum hates him riding since a bad accident a year ago) and girlfriend will come in the evening. Just had text from brother, 'has anyone cancelled the meal??'

NO they haven't cos they don't all go through partners like underwear! :mad:

I refuse to be blackmailed like this with only 6 weeks to go. Mum already said, 'oh I can alway pay for the extra meal' Its not the flipping money its the fact I have 5 tables of 6 people and I am not mucking around with the table plan for a girl I have never met, and knowing my brother won't ever see again!!

*now breathe*

There's always one isn't there!

You'll have to tell your brother that you just can't make an allowance for his new bit of fluff as the whole table plan and placecards have already been done, but she is more than welcome to come in the evening (if that's ok with you?).

I think that is very fair and put it this way, if I'd just started seeing someone, I'd feel awkward being invited to a close member of his families wedding for the whole day!

I'd also tell your Mum that how your bro gets to your wedding is not your responsibility, and that if he hasn't met this girl, how would he have got there then??

Put your foot down, it's not fair on your and your OH to have all this pishing about in the final weeks!

Just had a phone call off my OH's nephew - he wants to bring his girlfriend - I have said no! I have said that I can't afford to alter everything now. He seems to have accepted this. Told him she can come in the evening though (it's his birthday so feeling slightly guilty) He is fine with it, he said he was just wondering! Tell your brother straight off or tell him if she comes in the day he can't!:rotfl::rotfl:He should respect your wishes - you are getting married soon!

Thanks guys, Mum actually said 'its like your brother marrying and not inviting Mr Frannyann' Err NO its not the same as I've been with OH for 8 years not 8 minutes and OH would NOT be offended if he was not invite due to costs, Sister is fine that I've not invited her husband of 15 years cos of costs!! I have said no, but expect pressure to continue!

"Breathe", and hugs to you :beer:.You are quite right to be irritated by this. Not only does it cost a fortune to feed someone, it's the principle!

I have had the same problem with someone in my OH's family who has ignored me the three times I've met him. I asked if it would be possible for him not to bring his girlfriend (who neither me nor my partner has met, as my best friend is over from the States quite unexpectedly and will now be here for the wedding). OH's family has gone mad, asking if any other boyfriends and girlfriends "have been snubbed"? :rotfl:

It gets worse, I got a text today, saying 'new girlfriend is driving me and leaving her in a hotel room by herself for hours is not nice' !!!!!! Stood firm but had to give in about her coming to the ceremony (even though its a tiny wedding of close friends and family)

If it's not nice, that's not your problem, as it's him putting her into that situation, not you!

Families eh!

Arghh, how frustrating! My sister put a strict one year limit on people bringing partners, if they weren't together a year by the time she'd sent out the invites then they weren't coming - only one cousin moaned about it, but get this he didn't even want to bring a girlfriend, just a friend... He was about 25 at the time so we all thought this was hilarious! Sis had put on a free bar the whole day so still didn't want her to come to the evening do but couldn't say that at the time - then had to let her come and buy her drinks the whole night :mad:

This time round, with my wedding, I'm not inviting kids but a cousin from that same family (his sister) now has a baby and she asked if I'd mind if the baby came "on her best behaviour" (er, that's not the point) so I had to say no and now noone from that whole family has RSVP'd!

Can't imagine how it must feel if it was your brother though. Arghhh. It's not as though he won't know anyone there - it's his family too!!!
Hope you feel better soon chelbel
