ANNOYED

ANNOYED

Well I was around a lot of my FH's family yesterday and his sis-in-law shared with me that FH's mom had said she was not happy with the date we chose. Because it is in the winter, her sister who lives in a warm climate, will not be attending. Apparently the 'older' guests have an issue with coming out in the cold weather. I was like W T F. They will be traveling IN A CAR to ONE location! My ceremony and reception are in the same place! I know I can't make everyone happy but it seriously ticks me off to hear all of this negative chatter going on. UGH

Re: ANNOYED

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope they don't keep making a big thing about it. It's your wedding and you deserve to get married where and when you want!

Re: ANNOYED

You'll find out very quickly that there are always going to be people who find something wrong with your wedding: your date, the place you chose, the number of BMs you have... You can't please all the people all the time. It's your wedding and the people who you really want to be there will be there.

Re: ANNOYED

I've noticed that I tend to hear the negative more than the positive, but I guess that's because we DON'T want to hear it and are fine-tuned to it...does that make sense? If 12/27 is the date YOU and FH want, then let whoever wants to come come and the rest stay home and miss out on the best day of your life!

Re: ANNOYED

what matters is that you both chose that date and too bad if people feel they 'cant' travel bc of the weather. oh well, they are the same people that will probably complain at the wedding about little unimportant things.

Re: ANNOYED

ugh why do people always have to have a negative say in everything!!!! ive gotten a few comments like 'well why are you having your wedding in august, its so humid then' im like w t f, no matter when we would have had it people wouldnt have been happy!! not to mention im a teacher so i HAD to have it in the summer basically!!! grrr, im sorry you have to deal with that!

Re: ANNOYED

As long as you're not getting married outside in a blizzard they don't really have reason to complain

Try not to let it bother you

I had the same problem...I picked January and everyone asks me 'who the heck picks the middle of winter to get married' i say the people who really support you and fh will make it snow, rain, sleet, whatever the weather may be...Remember in the end it is all about you and your fh dont let others try to make you feel bad about YOUR decision

Re: ANNOYED

Blow it off, people will find ANY reason in the world to B!%CH about or use as an excuse. As long as you are happy with your date, is all that really matters.

Re: ANNOYED

You will never be able to please everyone, someone will always have something to say and chances are, it won't be positive. What matters most is that you and your FH are happy. Don't even sweat it!

Re: ANNOYED

Sorry that she is giving you a hard time. It may very well be the case that no matter what the date, they could complain. If you plan it in the spring or summer when there's an increased chance of rain, they would be likely to complain about that too! This is your special day and you can explain that people can get out right in front and don't need to leave between the ceremony and reception.

Re: ANNOYED

As all the girls have said, people will always b*tch, no matter what! You can never make everyone happy. People don't stop to think what they're saying and are so self involved. Don't let them stress you!

Re: ANNOYED

OMG>. That is crazy.. Just tell them if they wanted to pay for the Prime season for weddings.. and if that is what you want then they just have to deal.. you cant possibly satisfy everyone when you are planning a wedding so I wouldn't stress about it too much.. Mine is in the summer July! and on the beach and people will need to WALK thru the sand to see the ceremony... Sooo some of the elders I will be buying umbrellas for to keep them comfortable in the weather.. But by all means dont change anything because someone is upset with the date you chose!

Re: ANNOYED

people will complain....

ive already heard that JT is too far away from people on my side....

im sure there are people complaining that its winter and it will be cold, and that its to close to the holidays

BUT i dont give a f---

usually people complain and end up having a good time anway - i know this b/c i sometimes complain about going places and i always end up having a great time ......but then again not everyone is like me and im sure there will be a miserable soul or two at all of our weddings - but really who cares? i think its tacky and rude for them to say that - they should be ecstatic that your FH is getting married.....my Mom told me if i hear any complaints, i should just say, 'its ok, you dont have to come'

Re: ANNOYED

After my engagement party where I spent the night trying to please everyone (who was hot, who was cold, the music is to loud, the food line is too slow) and then spent the end of the night in the bathroom in tears I have realized that you can not please everyone and there is no reason you should try. IT is your night and every part of it should be about you. DO not let anyone tell you how you should plan. If they do not want to come out in the cold then they do not have too, you can always send them pictures later of a good time they missed. You just have to hold onto the big picture, that it is you and FH's most important and most special day of your life and no one can ever take that away from you. No matter if it is in the summer and warm or in the winter and cold.

Re: ANNOYED

Im sorry to hear that, but it is your day, you cant make everyone happy and you cant think about everyone around you. You have to think what you want and how you wana to be done. Dont worry about eveyone around you, if you would do what they want it wouldn be your wedding. I know what im saying cuz my family was the same way and after complaing for some they oki now.... so be happy and think about yourself. Make yourseld happy!!!!
