Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

the first one that comes to mind is my FMIL... she said, 'No way... not while I'm alive!' I think we threatened to resolve that problem


Ohh. there's more:

Q-Why did you get a 'silver ring? Was it cheaper?'
Response: Uh, it's friggin platinum!

Q-Why aren't your groomsmen wearing tuxedos?
Response: They are - they're called 'morning suits' slightly less casual b/c our ceremony is at 1pm!

Q- what if it snows???
Response: what it it doesn't?

BUT MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE:

us: we're getting married
them: are you pregnant??

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

I KNEW I'd remember another one...

From our Best (wo)man who admits to being a spoiled prima dona: you're not having limos? thats sad!

--nothing sad about it, d@mmit! I don't need or want them!


Hearsbellz your FMIL has nerve!

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

It's amazing we still get married after being harrassed like this!

(And to think that we will carry on some of these genes )

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

Bumping for some more stories

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

1. MIL - wants me to hand out $30 a piece favor to the guests (mind you I have over 200 people coming) and she is not contributing any $$ towards our wedding planning
2. Relatives I don't know are asking to be in the bridal party not even asking me asking my mom!! - still fighting with my parents on that.

That's it for now

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

My friend...BM...why didn't you get a diamond, noone is going to know that that is an engagement ring(it's a sapphire)
My mom(whom i love to death)...how come you are inviting so many of his family(uh, cuz you told me not to invite certain people)
Another friend...please don't ask me to be a bridesmaid, i hate wearing those dresses(she later said she really didn't mean it and sort of wanted to be in the party)
And last but not least...You're getting married in January, better pray it doesn't snow(well, hello, i know that, how about that is the only time FH isn't working, and it's what we can afford)

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

I work in a hair salon in Dix Hills some of the women can be very nosey and rude with q&A:

So how much money does FH make?

Are you paying for the wedding or are your parents?

And so I answer with how much does your Hubby make? And Why do you want to help pay for our wedding also?

As for other people April? You know it could rain? YEAH Hellooo it could rain anytime of the 364 days out of the year!!

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

I remembered another one.

FMIL looking at the first draft of the guest list. Who is Silvia and Paul? Well hello....they were on your list. Obviously if you don't even know who the hell they are we don't need to invite them

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

I ALWAYS get.... 'oh July 2004??? You still have time to back out.'

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

one girl saw my ring for 1st time since we got engaged and said 'very nice... finally!'
And i have heard from family, people that claim to be friends, and complete strangers, 'two years.... that's a looong engagement!' I was only 24 when I got engaged, and was going through grad school. I am graduating now, need to find a job and save. And excuse me, but don't have much time to plan the wedding when i am doing school, internship, and work!

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

Holy $hit people have some nerve

Re: Poll - Calling all brides, newlyweds....

I heard a great one today...why would you want to get married, are you afraid he'll leave you if you don't???

<--- I would like to point out that my FH proposed to me... what the H@!!
