  • To be fair PJ, you've been as guilty of this as anyone - your hostile tone in your posts is probs part of the reason why people missed the fact that you weren't having veggies at the sit down meal.

    I caught it because I couldn't under stand why your responses to people were so angry, but then I re-read the posts and saw that you were angry beacuse people had missunderstood your post.

    I'm not sure why you got so angry in the first place though.

    If I had those replies aimed at me I would have been pretty darn angry about it too, some of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

    I understood her post immediately and cant see how on earth anyone got confused about the point of the post, there was no need to start sniping and making personal comments.

    I jist I got was 'oh isnt it a shame they wont be coming' I sense there will be no love lost.

    Seriously folks, arguing with strangers on a web forum just isn't cool!

    If people want to have a free bar, not have a free bar, poison their vegetarian friends/relatives/enemies, be miserable all day, fight with the mother in law, hand out £2 bar vouchers, punch a bridesmaid, spew over the wedding cake, trip over their wedding dress, moon the mother in law or make inappropriate remarks to the priest , then it's up to them. Every wedding is different - let's not be so precious!

    Bagsy mooning the mother in law :D

    I might punch a bridesmaid as my MOH (self designated as such I should add) is driving me potty! ;)

    But that's for another thread! :o
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    At our wedding I made a slightly inappropriate remark to the MIL, rather than the priest.

  • It was 11.45pm and I really wanted to leave. MIL decided that 11.45pm on the night of my WEDDING was the right time to ask me about the arrangements that DH had made with his best men to get the suits to her house (she'd offered to return them for us). She was talking at length about what time she would be in the house and what 'appointments' she had the following day. I interrupted her and said:

    "I'm sorry - it's been a very long day. My wedding day, in fact. The best men are standing ten yards away. If you want to find out the arrangements, go and ask one of them. I'm the bride. Suits are the one thing I DON'T have to worry about. I just don't care. I just want to get back to the hotel and climb into bed with my husband"

    My brother was killing himself laughing. :rotfl:

    if i have gone to a wedding where there is not a free bar then i generally do not spend as much on the present.

    I usually buy the gift a few weeks in advance of the wedding and sometimes you don't know from the invitation whether its a pay bar or not.
