Are any of your friends/relatives who got married 10+ years ago saying that when they got married they did so and so. . .

Here is an example-I have a corset dress. My so called friend (MOH) who got married 14 years ago said 'that takes so long to tie, why don't they just make it a zipper'. When I got married, I had a zipper. I said that is the designer's trademark and it looks beautiful with a corset. There are also other things people are saying, like when I got married we did this and this. I feel like saying 'its a whole new world since then'. I wish some people would just quit it w/their unsolicited advice. I feel like saying shut the 'F' up already. Has anyone else experienced this?

my parents got married 25 years ago and still think that the price per person should be $32 what they paid oh and because there was no such thing as professional video they dont see the point a priest was their photog and charged them only $500 (their album is two seperate books with liek 5x7) they need to realize the times are a changin!

my SIL who planned her wedding a couple years before us, gave us the BEST advice...nod ur head & smile & say 'thanks i'll keep that in mind'...not only does it shut them up, but it doesnt leave u agreeing or disagreeing...worked like a charm!
Exactly, I had to do this when DD was born. I got a llot of advice from stepmom, who's kids are 40 yrs old!!!!!!! OMG the things that have changed since then. (This si a woman who thinks it is shameful to show off a pregnant belly!!!)

My Mom told me that grooms drive themselves to the church so they can drive home after the reception.
Oh yeah, and no engagement party.
Fine, she would be paying for the engagement party, so if she thinks we shouldn't have one, then we won't. But FH and I are paying for limos, and I'll be damned if I have to hear 'it's ridiculous that he is taking a limo' one more time!!!!

everyone always feel like they have to put their own sense into everything. When we first got engaged, my grandmother told me to grow a thick skin because you to have learn to ignore them and do what you want. I still tell people that when they get engaged- but then I guess, I'm putting my sense in too!
