I am a Bridezilla and my confession is....

There's still time jax, he has tonight to sit down and sort it out or I'll do it myself

Our invites were posted last week and already we've had his grandmother ringing us to ask why 2 people can't come to the wedding! She said, as his grandfather isn't coming one of his aunties should come in his place. But that we should also think about inviting his other auntie. Nooo! We spent ages deciding on the guest list. We put a lot of thought into this, don't try and guilt trip your grandson into inviting people. :mad: We spoke to his mum, who said we should think long and hard about his grandmas suggestion. No. No and No!

We are having a small wedding, parents, grandparents and siblings. I wanted to elope but he felt that he had to invite his immediate family... and so it snowballed. We're having a party for everyone when we come back from honeymoon. Over christmas we explained to everyone our plans and we thought everyone was happy for us. It seems they weren't listening after all!

Faerie - I feel for you! It is YOUR day! Stick to your guns I say! We have just started our planning, and have been quite ruthless with the guestlist. I refuse to have people there that I don't see regularly or have any relationship with!

I know that the odd few people won't be happy, but its my wedding, not theirs!! Xx

Awww hun I feel for you too - originally we wanted just our parents, siblings and the one surviving grandparent on each side but we were guilted into inviting my aunt & uncle and OHs aunt, great aunt & great uncle which added 50% to the guestlist. I don't regret inviting either mine or his aunt as we are actually quite close and it didn't cause the issues with my other aunts & uncles that I thought it would, however I do wish his great aunt & uncle hadn't been there as we don't really know them...

Don't read too much of it or you'll find yourself getting angry on other brides' behalf, lol.

Also, assuming that you've just started reading this board because you're getting married, you'll do like I did and smugly read posts thinking, 'this won't happen to me as I am sensible and reasonable and so are my family and friends.'

Hahahahaha is all I can say to my smug thoughts.

I've not been on here for a while but was feeling quite glum about my wedding today (less than 4 months to go!). People have been moaning behind my back and I've just got a vibe that people can't be bothered to put themselves out for us because we're getting married in our favourite place which is 400 miles away. Between us and my parents we're paying for accommodation for everyone the night of the wedding but the hotel we're getting married in isn't quite big enough for all our guests. We've booked the ones who we can't squeeze in into a place a 2 minute walk away. I've heard today that these people (the guests who we're least close to) have been moaning to someone else that they're not in the hotel and saying they're going to phone the hotel in case they've 'kept some rooms back'. We have booked all the rooms and allocated them as best we can so I know there aren't any 'extras'. The worst thing is that I could tell them this if they spoke to me about it. Plus I heard that OH's dad wants his friends to come and OH's mum and brother have said it'll be too much hassle to come :-( Wish we'd just decided to go on our own (with my family who are being well behaved lol)

In other news, my sister (who is bridesmaid) text the other day to ask if it was ok for her to have her hair cut into a bob. When I said of course it was and that she didn't need my permission, she said she didn't want me to go all bridezilla lol!

It's made me feel a bit better knowing I'm not on my own with misbehaving guests!

Noooo! Actually it's completely the opposite! I'm reading these posts and thinking omg I am totally normal! I'm fully aware that I am honing my bridezilla skills to the max

For example I had a small paddy because h2b didn't understand that he has to wear a certain pair of socks. As do his groomsmen.
