I'm a Bridezilla and my confession is....

It is our wedding, our money and our decissions!

Mums, we are limited on guests because that is all we can fit at the reception. It's not money related, it is physical space related!

Guests: We have 45 people each of family to invite. Here is the list, if you want to invite anybody else you have to cross somebody off your families list. Simple!

I'm a groomzilla and my confessions are:

1. My sister in laws to be annoy me, one spends money like its going out of fashion then pleads poverty, another is just an idiot. Anyone trying to convince me siblings are a great thing, forget it.

2. Not seen my sister in 17 years, no she isn't invited and no you shouldn't try and get me to make up with her.

3. My friend's wife is going to be 8 and a bit months pregnant at the wedding, do we really have to invite her? Her husband is a decent guy but she is as nasty and hormonal as a pregnant woman even when she isn't.

4. I hate the fact my cousins and me know nothing about eachothers lives but I have to invite them, partner's name? Number of kids? Not a clue, I am inviting them to keep the peace

5. Don't get me started on my cousin abroad, if roles were reversed and his wedding was booked first then my mum would expect mine not to be the week before, and I would expect that reaction and respect it, oh well.

6. If we let you know the hotel is on offer for the night of the wedding and you miss the offer price thats your lookout, its £30 more now and I doubt it will go any lower.

Thanks to everyone who replied to me about the siblings' in-laws. OH is going to his dad's this week so I have asked him to have the 'it's not about money, it's about space' conversation and suggest inviting them to the evening instead.

Ok, I'm beginning to lose it about the venue not giving me a price list. They are supposed to be sending me costs for the hire of the place and several food options, so I can decide whether we want to eat THERE or eat at the church... which means basically I can't do ANYTHING until I hear back from them, because I can't finalise the budget ugh!... I've already sent one chaser email, to no avail - been waiting about a month now. You'd think they'd be HAPPY to charge me money, no?

If they can't be bothered to send you the prices I would look elsewhere as I would guess that they won't be too bothered about the day itself

Unfortunately looking elsewhere isn't really an option, it's not a regular wedding venue, it's the caf! at the local park which is really near to our church - and we don't want a hotel wedding, or a fancy stately home (can't have the church hall as no-alcohol laws would upset too many members of the family... that makes me a bit cross too) it's perfect, and every time we go and see the man who owns it he's great and full of ideas for the wedding, it's just the d*rn prices he's not forthcoming on - The Boss did say he'd go and have a word this weekend, but never got around to it, perhaps next weekend we'll pop over and visit him (only 10 minutes from where we live).

I have genuinely no idea why MSE likes to correct the word c a f e into caf!. It's automatic, and doesn't happen when I type -.-

I'm a bridezilla and my confession is:

I'm secretly super annoyed with my bridesmaid for booking her wedding 40 days after mine. She knows I have an illness that means it takes me a really long time to recover from things. Now we def can't have our honeymoon in the weeks (we planned to wait a few weeks so I have a better chance of being well enough to enjoy our honeymoon after recovering from w-day) after our wedding because otherwise I won't be well enough to be her bridesmaid in turn.

Yes, I know my illness is not her fault. Yes, I know her wedding plans shouldn't have to accommodate me. But she also told me shes booking her wedding and hopes I don't think she is "Stealing my thunder"...um, no! But thanks for putting it that way!

Anyway, I haven't shown any sort of negativity towards her because I want her to have a lovely wedding too and don't want to put a dampener on our friendship. But its rather frustrating. Yes, I know its irrational. But its good to be able to be honest about it online!
