Need to Vent

Need to Vent

So, we went last night to show our RH to FH's parents. They weren't able to go see it before we booked, so we decided to take them last night.

Now, there was a wedding going on, but it was set up different, because the ceremony was in the Grand Ballroom, and the reception was in the Glass Room, which is where my cocktail hour will be.

So anyway, I was getting the vibe they weren't too thrilled with it. At one point, his dad said, 'well, it's up to you', and shrugged his shoulders.

Then afterwards, they had the nerve to tell FH that we should have gone to Russo's or Leonard's.
*****I am not trying to offend any Russo's or Leonard's brides---I have NOTHING against either place, been to both and had a great time**** but I was upset because we picked DM, and I think it was rude and just plain offensive for them to say that knowing we booked DM and love the place.

UGHHHH...first, they inflated our guest list from 100 to 150, now she's talking about 200. Then they insult our RH.

I feel like I have the in-laws from hell right now grrrrrr.

Sorry, I just had to vent..TIA for listening.

Re: Need to Vent

That's just rude and unnecessary. Sorry you have to deal with this

Re: Need to Vent

Aww Im so sorry that happened to you. You are right...they shouldnt have said anything at this point since you booked it and it is what YOU want. I know it's hard but try not to let it get to you. You and FH picked the RH that felt right for you. That is all that matters. It iwll be a wonderful wedding!

Re: Need to Vent

Wow the nerve!!! I cant believe them!!

How dare they say that!!! Im so sorry that this happened to you! Please dont let them ruin your happiness...your hall is beautiful and your day will be beautiful too...you'll show them!

Re: Need to Vent

Are they paying for the wedding, if they aren't then they have no say, but if they are they have some say. You picked a RH for your liking, not theirs. If you guys like it, then don't stress. they may be saying this because they didn't have a say in the begining bfore you booked.

They are paying for the people they are adding to our guest list. So they are helping out a little, as are my parents. But FH and I are paying for most of it.

We showed them pictures, the menu, the prices and tried twice to take them before we booked, but they couldn't make it. And we didn't want to risk losing the date, so after 2 weeks of trying to take them, decided to book. Now 2-3 weeks after booking, they were finally able to go.

I agree that FH and I picked it and we like it, so that's what matters. But it still ***** that they made shady comments, and I just hope they don't tell his family the same comments.

Re: Need to Vent

sorry you arte going through this. not nice of them to say things about your RH

Re: Need to Vent

That's so incredibly rude on all accounts. Sorry you have to deal with this. :(

Re: Need to Vent

That really stinks. Sorry

Re: Need to Vent

grr some people don't know when to keep their lips zipped!! Sorry you have to deal with this BS

Re: Need to Vent

Thanks for the support girls! I appreciate having people to vent to who know what I am going through!

Re: Need to Vent

It's really sad when people cannot be supportive of you and your FH and the things that the both of you want on your day.

Re: Need to Vent

i think that it was def rude of them - its your wedding not theirs and its your choice of the style and type of RH you pick - obviously there were things you and your FH really liked about the place and thats why you chose it - im sure DM is a great place - im sorry that they upset you with their comments and shoulder shrugging - dont let it get you down, you picked your RH for a reason and too bad for them - ive never been at a wedding and said or thought to myself 'i wish i was at russos or xyz' so dont worry your guests will have a great time at your wedding

Re: Need to Vent

sorry that is annoying.

Re: Need to Vent

someone will always say something no matter what, just ignore!

Re: Need to Vent

Awww I'm sorry. Some people don't know how to act and even more people don't know when to hold their tounge.

Re: Need to Vent

I'm sorry they were rude. Can you get FH to talk to them and tell them how you felt about that comment?

Re: Need to Vent

I think in all this planning you are going to have people say well you should have done this and done that. Everybody wants to share their opions but in the long run it's the day for you and FH to celebrate. As long as you are both happy with the decisions being made then that's fine. FH's parents feel we are paying to much for the ceremony at the RH. We are of two different religions so I thought that was the best choice. They may feel it's too much money but we LOVE our RH and that's what matters to me.
