Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....
Ok I thought we can always use some laughs and a place to vent-SO - I was talking with one of my BM's and she was telling me some of the horrible/funny/insulting things that were said to her and her friends while they were planning their weddings or at the actual wedding/engagement party/shower/bachalorette party so I thought it would be fun to see what has been said to us SO:
What is the rudest, funniest, weirdest comment that has been said to you during your planning states or on your actualy wedding day or other wedding day related parties.

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....
when we told Brians mom we were engaged she looked at the ring then at brian and said 'you bought this'I think the rudest things I have heard is the usual, 'oh you really dont wan to that do you'
and
'Motorcycles just dont belong at a wedding. It doesnt matter if its your thing, a wedding is suppose to be classy and motorcycyles just dont belong' of course FI said back, well a wedding is who the couple is and we are bikers and if you dont like it then dont show up

1. 'A year and a half? How old will you be then? You know what they say about the biological clock and all...' (I'm 28 BTW)2. 'Why so long? You don't need a big wedding' (excuse me, are you paying for it!!)
People are truly unbelievable!

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....
I hated any remark about how much money a wedding costs, since it is after all one dayAnd one of my friends made some remark about vanity since I started wearing contacts right before the wedding and got a bleaching kit for my teeth.

(wasn't at a party, but it was still rude)When we told someone what our song was.. he said 'Are you serious?? EVERYONE uses that song!!'
(we have changed it since then but not because of this jerks comment)

I took FMIL to see my dress. Thought it would be a nice gesture. When I put it on and came out of the dressing room she asked me if I brought a picture to the priest to ask him if it's OK to wear that to a Catholic Mass?????

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....
I can't come to your wedding, b/c most likely I'll be working (from an immediate aunt)! And the daughter of this aunt (23 and livin with a boyfriend, received a separate invite) not coming unless her mommy comes.A vendor not giving us a pricelist to take home and forcing us to make a booking decision on the spot (of course it was a no)
A david's bridal location refusing to make the needed alterations
Another vendor, a photographer, lied to me on the phone. He said that he gives negatives of the pictures, but when we started discussing packages, he told us that he can't give us negatives with the package we were interested in. I fumed, exploded a walked out a few minutes later after a brief arguement, b/c my time was wasted.

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....
Weddings/births & deaths bring out the best and worst in people.Everyone has an opinion & they just don't understand how it comes across sometimes!
One rude thing from a co-worker when I got engaged was- she looked at my ring and her first response was 'So, did you get the skinny from him yet? like color, quality? how big?' Not even a congratulations! ha- it made me laugh to think that acutally might be important to her!

Heres some of mine:'When are you having kids?' HELLO we arent even married yet, chill out.
'How much was that ring?'
(none of your fu^%$ business!)
'A year & 8 months? Why so far away?'
(Do you want to pay for it, ass?)

ALSO...From a co-worker...
When she looked at my ring she said...It's so small. I was mortified.
PS...My ring is a carat and a half (big enough for me)!!!

From my grandma who I love dearly but still lives in the 1920s...'Your wearing white to your wedding!!! You were married before so you can't be a virgin.'

Hmm... let's see:'you should've thought more about your bridal party, it's going to be a circus'
'you still have time to elope' - my mom (we laugh at that one)
I'm sure there's more can't think right now.
