Haa! My mum's been desperate to wear a hat - I'm the youngest of four and the first to get married, so she's been waiting for a while now... I'm going to make sure I go hat shopping with her (under the pretext of a 'girly day' :cool:) to steer her in the right direction ie away from the very wide-brimmed, don't-get-too-close-or-she'll-have-your-eye-out type. She doesn't normally go for that sort, but she may get a little over excited!!

I want everyone to wear huge hats!!

I'm a bridezilla because I hate my MIL and don't want her at the wedding. OH and her are recently reunited and I can't stand the woman!!

Oh God!

Well, am now married, but being a BZ not left me!

1) I put on my wedding website "no hats" and the MIL did oblige! Website http://www.janeandgraeme.co.uk/

2) have got memory wall of photos of family members for each set of parents,just gave them to in laws, and they were really unimpressed!
!!!!!!, your only grandchild is photographed on his first trip to the UK in beautiful surroundings by a good photographer, take the chance of some nice free photos (especially as you don’t ever see him as his parents are on the cusp of divorce(again) and you wont get much access. . .)
3)
I have not and will not take my husbands name(professional and personal reasons). I have said this for the 12 years prior to us getting married and emphasised it prior to wedding, so cheques to Mr and Mrs really a waste of time!

I'm a bridezilla because I don't want to invite my uncle's grown-up children. There are 4 of them, plus partners and children. I haven't seen most of them for 3 years, and they're a bit....Jeremy Kyle tbh.

OH has said that he doesn't want to invite anyone we haven't seen in the last year and I agree, but I can't see my uncle being happy if we invite my aunts grown up kids (all of whom I've seen in the last 6 months).

We're limited in numbers so I'm seeing them as 10 places I could use to invite people I actually see and like.

My mum says she doesn't want them to come either but I have to invite them.

Huff.

I am also having this problem. If I change my name at work, noone will be able to find me and it stuffs up my publication records. OH's surname is quite common, mine really isn't. Added to the fact I don't see why I should (I've already got into trouble for refusing some of the wedding traditions on the basis that the history of them in my view is somewhat dubious). Anyone that refers to me as "Mrs/Frau" will be in real trouble.

Trying to get that concept into the heads of my ancient german in-laws-to-be however, has so far proved virtually impossible. I might give him my surname when I send out the thank you notes. That will wind them up them. cel x:rotfl::rotfl:

Well, I'm NOT a bridezilla in the slightest but it still irritates me that NOBODY in my OH's family has congratulated us on our engagement yet - even though we went trekking around the country to visit them all over Christmas.
Not one person even mentioned it, and when my OH mentioned it, his dad was so rude as to not even acknowledge our engagement but instead started talking about his own failed marriage and how it's not worth wasting your time on women!

GRRRR I'm not asking for excitment and jubilation but a 'congrats, we're happy for you' would be nice! Doesn't exactly make me feel welcomed into the family!

If they're anything like my inlaws, you'd better get used to it!

We were never congratulated on our engagement and on our wedding day they didn't say congratulations/you look nice/so proud of you son (to my husband) or anything like that ~ fekkers! :mad:

Mind you, these are people who have one darling, beautiful grandson and don't bother with him.

Their loss!



P.S. Congratulations on your engagement!!! x
