Surely it's not just good manners but common sense also??!!
My advise is to press the close door button on the Bellends
Just fart quietly Amd then stare at them accusingly...

Fcuk the rest of them
I only wish it were that easy, issues have ranged from having to have a bridesmaid who I don't really know because she is a family member and pressure applied to me to have her, who is sitting on the toptable, my sis in law in the USA unhappy about coming if I invite a particular elderly aunt she fell out with a while ago (therefore probably making my brothers life difficult and parents would be heartbroken if their son didn't attend), mum wanting a very flash car to take her to the church therefore raising costs, dad making me feel like I've burdened him getting married as he's anxious about doing a father of bride speech (which my brother is now doing - see point above re possibly not attending) and anxious about walking me down the aisle (its the smallest church in the world - seats 50!). Sorry to have a rant but its just neverending.

Hhhmmm , brings to mind that saying Ruby
" a wedding is a funeral only you get to smell the flowers " :wink:
Too late now but fwiw id have done the eloping bit , flown to Iceland via Glasgow after a brief stay in Gretna Green

I also agree with making choices to suit you and your partner.
Best of luck
As above my experience at the end of June. In the end I actually enjoyed doing it
(Father of the Bride speech that is)
Brings back bad memories for me. Every conversation over dinner and at every family meal dominated by wedding talk. The divorce gave me a lot more pleasure!
I'm just glad the engagement period is only going to be around 5 months in total. I would have cracked up if this had gone on over a year like most people have these days. Currently I'm more looking forward to the honeymoon than the day and any more wedding planning related disputes. I just don't feel like talking to anyone right now.

I know its not easy but just remember it is YOUR day, you are the one paying for everyone to be there and it is about you and your future husband, try not to let people ruin it, if they choose not to come it is their loss! I understand the angst and stress you are going through but just don't let it make you lose the reason and meaning of the day!RubyBlueZ4MC said:
You have to invite everybody who should be there. It's their problem if they don't like who else you've invited - and to be honest it's YOUR day, not theirs, and they should just deal with it because you should be more important to them than their squabbles. As long as they're not sat at the same table then it's their job to be adults. And if they don't come because of it then TBH you really shouldn't lose sleep over it Ruby. If they do come up and there's a big dust-up then actually you'll have ticked the 'complete wedding' box
As for your Mum... Tough one, because it's kind of her day too I guess. You need to find a way to make her choose between the car and something else she (and you) want ;-)
At least you don't have my problems - at the moment I am mostly pissed off at B&Q's own brand of power tools being completely inadequate for chopping up a body. I knew I should have bought Bosche

I know what you are all saying and thank you for the supportive words, thing is at the end of the day I do love my parents and I want them to be happy above all other guests. However, my father initially said he wouldn't come to the wedding if his son wasn't there and my mum would be very upset indeed. Therefore keeping the brothers wife happy is key as unfortunately she wears the trousers. The best thing would be if he just came over and left her at home with the 3 kids (thats also 2 less flowergirls and 1 less page boy - that I really don't need, to be worried about dressing too). Right now I've distanced myself from dealing with anyone. If we hadn't put deposits down I would have probably gone back to the original plan of small, intimate, abroad.
However on a brighter note, due to the stress I've lost weight without even trying

Indeed it is. Lass at work had it happen to her when she parked up for 10 mins in Morningside in Edinburgh. Some git spat on her drivers side window. It was her dads RR Sport so clearly deliberate.
Some folk are just dicks! I'm assuming it's one of the students who somehow think they are hard done to.......not that hard done to when they rent a flat at £850 a month and seem to be out on the pi$$ most nights!
Cats - hate them.
You can't pick them up without being scratched, and you never know when they're next going to bite.
Shifty little f***ers, not to be trusted.
(Their larger friends, tigers, ligers, lions, cheetahs etc are excluded - they're amazing)
Cats are pointless. Dogs all the way.
