don't answer the phone the week of your wedding

so my wedding is in 2 days. nothing is stopping me from being happy so don't get me wrong. i'm just warning everyone that crazy annoying things are going to happen beyond our control so be prepared and don't let it get to you.

5 people have cancelled this week. just got a phone call that my cousin is bringing her baby to my no-kids wedding. it was either that or lose another 3 guests. so i had no choice but to say yes.

the best man's girlfriend is complaining about wanting to go in the limo, about the hotel being far away and the reception being even further away. she was yelling at fh last night on the phone and arguing about directions and times and locations etc. she has to leave early to feed her dog, she wants to be announced and introduced at the wedding. she wants to know why the rh is so far away. she wants to know how we expect her to take a shuttle bus with no one she knows. best man couldn't even afford his tux, he had no idea he had to pay for it, $99.

lots of things are going wrong. everyone's complaining about their tuxes fitting, not fitting, what they're wearing to the rh dinner. can't come to this, can't do this, etc. guests are hurting their backs, their babysitters are in the hospital, their dates are cancelling, their grandmothers are dying, and they all need directions. i guess the direction cards are in the garbage. they want to make sure it's ok that they give us a gift in a few weeks, months, years. they just can't afford it.

i guess your wedding is only important to you, and people don't understand what it's like until they go through it, or once they do go through it they forget what it's like. well none of this matters right, i'm getting married at a beautiful place! i've lost some friends in the process, people i thought were friends at least. people haven't even had the respect to rsvp, and it's truly been the most stressful month of my life.

so ladies, do NOT answer the phone the week of your wedding, unless it's your parents.
